In the vicinity of the liberated planet of Bajor, the Federation space station Deep Space Nine guards the opening of a stable wormhole to the far side of the galaxy.
In the twenty-fourth century, the crew of the U.S.S. Enterprise NCC-1701-E has been ordered to patrol the Romulan Neutral Zone by the Federation to avoid interference with their battle against the insidious Borg. Witnessing the loss of the battle, Captain Jean-Luc Picard ignores orders and takes command of the fleet engaging the Borg. But the Borg plan to travel back into the twenty-first century through a vortex with the intention to stop Earth's first contact with an alien race (the Vulcans). Following the Borg sphere, Picard and his crew realize that they have taken over the Enterprise in order to carry out their mission. Their only chance to do away with the Borg and their seductive Queen is to make sure that Zefram Cochrane makes his famous faster-than-light travel to the stars.Written by

When Captain Picard smashes the display case containing the various Enterprise models, the screenplay called for the model of the Enterprise-D to fall and break. In this movie, we see the Enterprise-D model start to slide off its mount, but then the camera cuts to Picard's face, and we only hear the sound of the impact. Subsequent shots show the saucer section of the Enterprise-D model still hanging from its mount, and the warp drive section on the bottom of the case, along with broken pieces of the Enterprise-C model. Apparently, the Enterprise-D model did not fall and break as planned, but the scene could not be re-shot without replacing the glass and the broken models, so the footage was edited to imply that the Enterprise-D fell and broke. Lily's line to Picard as she picks up one of the model pieces was changed from "You broke your ship" to "You broke your little ships." See more »

When we first see the Defiant making its attack run at the Borg Cube it is firing pulse phasers. Once the Borg Cube is in full view you can see the explosive damage the Defiant's hits are causing, however, in the seconds before the Cube is in full view you can still see the Defiant's shots hitting the cube with no explosive damage, almost like they forgot to add in the explosions.

The opening credits the order in which the recurring cast's names appear mirrors the chain of command aboard the Enterprise. Patrick Stewart/Picard (captain), Jonathan Frakes/Riker (first officer), Brent Spiner/Data (second officer), LeVar Burton/Geordi (chief engineer) Michael Dorn/Worf (acting tactical officer) Gates McFadden/Beverly (chief medical officer), Marina Sirtis/Troi (ship's counselor).

Star Trek:First Contact is the best Star Trek film in my opinion. Far better than the average Star Trek:Generations or any of the films featuring the original crew.
I won't go into the plot too much because I hate spoiling it for fans and it is easy sometimes to give away too much. Let's just say that the cast of The Next Generation take on the inhuman Borg, one of the best race of Star Trek villains ever.
There are no slow spots in this film. It is one big long action fest and every character is utilized. There are some terrific scenes and there is quite a bit of tension between the crew, particularly Worf and Picard. Picard has some harsh words for Worf at one point in the film and it really does look as though Worf will hit Picard. You could cut the tension in this film with a knife.
I'd also like to mention the great job done by the beautiful Alice Krige as the Borg Queen. Again, there is not a wasted moment in this film and Krige does a brilliant job as the Borg Queen.
I strongly recommend Star Trek:First Contact-it is the type of film which you finish watching and feel as though you have spent your money well.
