Did You Know?

Trivia:
Footage of the Warp Ship Phoenix's launch was later reused in the opening sequence for the new Star Trek series "Star Trek: Enterprise" (2001). James Cromwell reprised his role of Zefram Cochrane in the pilot episode "Star Trek: Enterprise: Broken Bow: Part 1 (#1.1)" (2001), where he is seen as a recording from the dedication of the "Warp 5 Complex".See more »
Goofs:
Errors made by characters (possibly deliberate errors by the filmmakers): When Lily asks Picard "how much did this thing (Enterprise) cost?", Picard replies, "money doesn't exist in the 24th century". Obviously he meant to say that it doesn't exist in the Federation, because money does play a role in some of the alien cultures beyond Earth, most notably Ferengi, and even on the Federation-controlled "Deep Space 9" station. And of course Starfleet used money to purchase things and/or obtain information from such cultures (e.g. Riker bribing a multi-armed female musician with a few coins in her tip jar in "Unification II"). However, within the Federation (or at least on Earth) it does seem that money doesn't exist anymore. So while Picard's answer was technically incorrect, he was right in the specific context of the question, because Lily only asked him about a price of a Federation ship.See more »

Finally!, 3 December 2005
Author: russem31 from United States

Star Trek VIII: First Contact - Stardate: 50893.5

Finally, after the dismal Generations outing, they got it right with this one! First Contact indeed is on par with the very best of the Star Trek films - The Wrath of Khan and The Undiscovered Country. Unfortunately, they won't get it right again to the present day (with the above average but still not as good Insurrection and awful Nemesis). The script is very solid, the acting above par (with kudos going to Alice Krige as the seductive Borg Queen and Alfre Woodard as the trusting Lily Sloane), and the score by Jerry Goldsmith again another hit. All of that combined with visual effects that service the story and not is the story makes this outing a spectacular success - a solid 9 out of 10!
