Watch Star Trek: Nemesis

Released in 2002, Star Trek: Nemesis became the tenth full-length feature film in the Star Trek franchise, and the final one to include the full cast from the Star Trek: The Next Generation television series. It was directed by Stuart Baird, and based on a story written by John Logan, with help from Brent Spiner and the film’s producer Rick Berman. The cast included Patrick Stuart, Jonathan Franks, Brent Spiner, Wil Wheaton, and more.

The movie begins with first officer Commander William Riker and his fiancée, Counselor Deanna Troi, preparing to leave for Deanna’s home world of Betazed, where their wedding ceremony will be held. Shortly before their departure, the Enterprise and crew are drawn to investigate a strange reading on a planet near the Romulan Neutral Zone.

This detour leads them into an eventual battle with the sinister Shinzon, who has led a successful coup against the Romulan government and now controls their entire fleet. In addition to being a Reman, it’s soon learned that Shinzon has ties to Picard, and the main motivation for his attack on the Romulan government was actually based on their having used him and abandoned him while conducting secret cloning experiments.
