The first hour seemed like an adrenaline rush. I was on the edge of my seat through many of the action sequences.

You see, that kinda goes with showing too much because of the trailer. The opening scene really didn't do much for me because I already knew he was doing to die in a self sacrificing way. And then they didn't even find a creative way of doing it. Then because when the hearing was disrupted by he distress call to Vulcan, I knew it was doing to be blown up. Maybe that is why it seemed a little slow for me, I had to keep waiting for it to get to something major that I didn't already know.

That said, having thought about it, I got 2 questions;

So when did Romulan planet blow up? Spock was still alive so it couldn't have been that far in the future, and yet Nemesis involved their planet.

What was the connection with the Klingons...why was there an attack before both major events (where Kirk's dad died and when they blew up Vulcan).

And while we are at it, what about the whole warping to Saturn to hide and then teleporting on the Romulan ship as they pass.

The Romulan ship is shown to already be at earth by the time Enterprise arrives at Saturn.

Did I miss something?

Well first, everything has changed. They say that once they realize Nero is from the future. "Alternate reality, destinies changed, etc etc"

But for the record, Romulus blows up after Nemesis.

Clearly something for the sequel.

Spock was alive for TNG, remember. Vulcans, even half human Vulcans, have long lives. Sarek (Spock's old man) was died during TNG.

Regarding Romulus, it was destroyed in an alternate timeline, which is what this movie represented.

I didn't read it and thanks for the warning, but now I have to stop reading the thread because I KNOW there are going to be people quoting you and discussing the movie.



I wish you would have started a discussion thread.

My biggest problem is that the Romulans were involved in the Dominion War, so if Nero kills off all of the Federation planets who does he think will help fight the Dominion?
