This is one series that has to try to “out do” itself with each successive release – the fate of the country… no world!, no UNIVERSE! Depends on… well, you get the point. Anyway, I did enjoy the eye-candy, and actually the acting and script was pretty darn good – an easy thing to dismiss in such a movie.

X-Men 2: X2
Wow, what a surprise… I wasn’t expecting much from this, but I think I liked it better than the first one. They didn’t have to spend so much time “explaining who the X-men are”, and could get to more plot & action. Plus, I liked the multi-dimentional characters and the way this movie plays on the fine line between good & evil. There were a couple little bothersome things – like why did the one girl have to kill herself? With all these superheroes, that’s the best plan they could come up with? And what happened to all those kids who escaped the “school”? It would’ve been neat if they had just one follow-up scene with them “doing something”. But all-in-all, I found it quite entertaining.
X-Men
It was entertaining, and that’s about all I was expecting from this movie. This is the kind of movie that could easily spawn countless sequels… just wait! I only hope they don’t go rapidly downhill in the quality department.
Star Trek: Nemesis
If this is the end of the series… It’s time.
Star Trek: Insurrection
This was like watching a long episode of the TV show. It was decent, but nothing special.
Star Trek: First Contact
One of the best of the series. It was well directed, well written, had a “bigger than a single episode” plot, and contributed to the “trek history” (to keep the fanatics happy).
Star Trek: Generations
Handing off the Star Trek torch to the next wave… It was almost like the studio was worried that the new cast just couldn’t “draw ’em in” like the old cast. It was a marginally decent movie. I didn’t really like the portrayal of Kirk in this episode though, it just didn’t seem like the same character.
