I watched Star Trek: Nemesis, which has the distinction of being the only (pre-Abramsvese) Star Trek film I don't know cold backwards and forwards. I saw it in a theater just once with my kids back in 2002, and it's never shown up on any cable system I've had until now.
Wow, it's considerably worse than I recall. Too long, too much action at the expense of character, really bad science, and important characters like Worf, Dr. Crusher, and even Riker disappear for long stretches of the film. It's more inept than Insurrection, which was already pretty weak. The TNG features really did need to end at that point if this was the best they could do.
(Also: Tom Hardy weighed like a hundred pounds less then! And Dina Meyer's Romulan commander - who in my memory was a standout character - only has a total of around six lines.)
