 SPLICEDwire | "Star Trek: First Contact" movie review (2005) "Star Trek: First Contact" review, Jonathan Frakes, ...
Once again, Paramount has ponied up a spectacular package for the Special Collector's Edition DVD of "First Contact," including a crisp remastered print, two commentary tracks, and a second disc brimming with bonus features, many of which are engrossing all on their own.
No advanced knowledge of franchise lore is needed to become entirely wrapped up in "Star Trek: First Contact," and unlike 1994's "Star Trek: Generations", which had the flavor of a mediocre two-part TV special, this movie feels like a movie.

 First Contact
The premise of Star Trek: First Contact, as I understand it, is that the Borg travel back in time from the 24th century to the 21st, attempting to prevent Starfleet's existence by preventing Earth's first contact with extraterrestrials.
First, supposedly in one of the teaser/trailer TV things it can be seen (and if you stop and look it is thee in all its glory,).
Overall though, I think First Contact was a pretty good movie with an ok plot and an excellent cast, but could've used some major improvments in some of the characters' dialogue and roles in the movie.

 The SF Site Featured Review: First Contact
Over the years many examinations of first contact have tried to look seriously at what humanity's reaction to aliens might be, whether in short story form (Murray Leinster's "First Contact") or novel length (Arthur C. Clarke's Childhood's End).
Perhaps this is to be expected from a book whose cover blurb bills that the book is being published to coincide with the fiftieth anniversary of Roswell, the Mecca for UFO and conspiracy theorists alike.
Gary Braunbeck's "Kite People" is only a borderline first contact story and tends to ramble, quite a feat for a 7-page short story.

 First Contact Within 20 Years: Shostak
Shostak, whose calculations will be published in a forthcoming edition of the space science journal Acta Astronautica, first estimated the number of alien civilisations in our galaxy that might currently be broadcasting radio signals.
For this he used a formula created in 1961 by astronomer Frank Drake which factors in aspects such the number of stars with planets, how many of those planets might be expected to have life, and so on.
Within a generation, radio emissions from enough stars will be observed and analysed to find the first alien civilisation, Shostak estimates.
