Star Trek - Nemesis (Widescreen Edition)

Set Contains: The Nemesis DVD is distinguished by excellent picture and thrilling sound, especially in the starship battle sequences. The bonus features are much more generous than the offerings on previous Star Trek theatrical films other than the two-disc special editions. There are four featurettes (46 minutes total) discussing the casting of Shinzon, development of the story line, shooting the action scenes, and the themes of family and change that run through the film. Director Stuart Baird contributes a commentary track that is a bit dry and sometimes silent. He mentions how he's not a Trek insider and that because he was working in an established setting he didn't have the freedom of creation that directors usually do. He also discusses the mechanics of shooting and points out where certain scenes were shortened or eliminated. Seven of the cut scenes appear on the DVD, some introduced by Baird or Patrick Stewart. They're interesting to see (and the alternate ending is pretty funny), but none was a great loss from the finished film. --David Horiuchi Product description A generation's finaljourney beginsProductInformationIn Star Trek - Nemesis you'll set a course for a galaxy ofunparalleled action and adventure as Captain Jean-Luc Picard (PatrickStewart) and his Starship crew battle a chilling new adversary - thatjust happens to hold a shocking link to Picard.
