This is the only Star Trek movie that Alex Kurtzmann watched
It has to explain why Picard is such a shitshow
Wrong - its the only one his intern watched.
We don't say that name here.
@@bathyprobe LOL - Yeah !
You mean Rick Kurtzman?
Mr. Plinkett, you forgot to mention the most glaring problem with the photo of young Picard. It didn’t have the space hologram border like in his Generations photo album. That for me took me right out of the movie. At least have some continuity with your space photos, damn people!
Lmao bro.
15:21 we see what happens when Patrick Stewart has too much to say about what what happens in the story. I’m sure future show runners won’t do that again…
Bringing on people who don't know star trek to revive star trek is a tradition.
I'm willing to bed Kurtzman's middle name ia Rick.
@@the81kidYou want to fuck Kurtzman? Okay Rick
Rick Berman: No one could EVER make Star Trek more of a depressing, action riddled joke than me.
Alex Kurtzman: *hold my fazer*
Akiva Goldsman following proud line.
@@shkeni Akiva Goldsman, famed writer of BATMAN & ROBIN
Faxer????
@@ickcubs102 I'll let it slide since I bet that's how kurtzman would spell it.
The green plastic space cymbals came from the same store as the green plastic fiddle in Starship Troopers.
Jake Buseys ridiculous expression is.....ridiculous in that scene....I love it
Also.....let’s get a respectful reboot of starship troopers.....PLEASE
@@-MrFozzy- Paul Verhoeven already gave Starship Troopers all the respect it deserves
@@speedmastermarkiii I would say he gave it more respect than it deserved, fuck that book.
@@DesolatedChild018 The movie was more subverted leftist trash. The book was awesome.
It's funny how the Romulan Star EMPIRE is so prominent in this film, yet in Picard, the Empire was apparently only a single planet.
Yes, EXACTLY
Apparently the third largest power in the quadrant, with hundreds of ships, was just that star system getting blown up LOL
I mean, it's called the "Romulan 'Star' Empire" and not the Romulan 'Stars' Empire for a reason.
Just like the entire galactic republic in the force awokens was like 4 planets that are so close together in orbit that they were going to smash into each other in a matter of months anyways. The First Order could have just waited. Stupid arrogant assholes who don't care are now in charge of everything we once loved, and there's nothing we can do about it.
@@Pauly421 but we can do something about it... We can make long, hilarious youtube videos pointing out how stupid those who are now in control of our favorite franchises are. That'll show those regal millionaires!
Blame J. J. for making that shit canon in the Prime Universe (because he didn’t thought anything new would be done in that continuity anymore, and let’s be true, nobody did) only so that he could be free to make up shit for his movies, whose he dropped after the second one. And now we are stuck with it. They could have scratched that, but someone told them that Trekkies are continuity obsessed, so they kept it, even though most Trekkies wouldn’t give a shit if they didn’t consider not only that but all the TNG movies (at least 3 of them, most certainly Nemesis)
I feel bad for Marina Sirtis now. She was so happy with Star Trek because she didn't have to do rape scenes anymore and then they did this.
Wouldn't it be hilarious to find out that the mind rape was an uncredited contribution by Michael Winner ? LOL !
@@ricardocantoral7672 "You think you can escape me?!"
I liked the revenge scene with cloak, computer map, Worf helping her target the Scimitar tho.
More like Marina Insertdis, amirite?
I don't as much anymore. Her bullshit with the citizens of Texas turns me the hell off from her.
As a non-idiot, when I saw this movie 15 years ago, my reaction to seeing that photo was "Who's that supposed to be? Young Picard? Why is he bald?"
I was stunned with the stupid with the "reveal", where they have to wait 5 min to reveal....................................Tom Hardy with a shaved head. But the real insult was that stupid picture. I have no words to describe the facepalm moment I had.
I also wonder why Shinzon has an English accent, it’s not like he could inherit it from Picard.
@@thomasmartin4281 this is a delicious point….DELICIOUS I TELLS YE!
Worf being back in starfleet may not have bothered you, but it certainly bothered me. Giving up his ambassador position to take a step back as a, I'm assuming reduction on rank from Commander to Lt Commander, shows lack of growth. It literally is a step backwards. But personally, I believe the writers just either forgot about DS9, or simply were clueless of what happened on DS9.
Big thanks to ManticoreEscapee for helping me find the last TNG clip I needed.
I am going to work on a fully 3D version of the Avatar review next. All Avatar and Titanic clips will be in 3D and I am trying to do overlay and effects in 3D as well where they will float a bit in front of the screen. I plan to work on Star Trek (2009) or Episode 3 Revenge of the Sith (4k remaster) after that. I have alot done on the Episode 3 review but I want to try to do that all in 4k.
Thanks for all the positive comments. I can get down working on these sometimes because it is a lot of work and appreciate the positive comment.
You're an absolute madman. Bless you
Plinkett in VR? The worlds not ready for that
💯
Will there be Pizza Rolls in these new 3D VR Plinkett videos? WILL THERE BE PIZZA ROLLS?!
You really should be getting paid for this work
Wait, is this literally a rebuilt shot-for-shot recreation in HD? You're insane! What dedication.
Is that seriously what this is??? Holy hell. That is crazy!
Jfc! the dedication. Somebody buy this person a beer.
@@alexbain87 It has to be since the original video is not in this quality. No way to upscale the Plinkett video like this.
Absolute madman
Mike is a workaholic movie reviewer with no movies to watch, this might be a form of therapy.
Nemesis was ahead of it's time.
Unfortunately.
Not really-DS9 had already established that the future of _Star Trek_ was going to be all magic, mysticism, destiny, fate, and heinous, unforgivable war crimes being framed in a positive light.
@@DistractedGlobeGuy I think he's referring to the brutality and darkness.
@@OdaSwifteye yep.
Nemesis was the gateway drug.
C. W. So Picard walls onto the bridge, and he sees counselor Troy... and all of her clothes fall off. And he’s seen everything.
With Marina Sirtis in it, they eventually had to circle back to Death Wish 3.
To me, the last episode of TNG (All Good Things) was best way you could possibly end it..
I think it's one of the best episodes of the show, one of the best last episodes of any show, and better than any of the movies after.
The series out classes any of the TNG movies, cause the TNG movies were revamped into action flicks for the big screen cause not a lot of people in the general audience actually like the whole “exploration and discovery” portion of star trek.
I think Generations felt close enough to TV TNG, or at least the characters felt close enough to their TV counterparts. Picard still felt out of his element when doing action stuff during the climax, and Kirk's death was... strangely appropriate. I mean, I wish he had died in a different manner than getting crushed by a falling bridge, but at the same time... at least he died while saving lives and making a difference. Plus, we do get a small inspirational speech of sorts from Picard at the end of the movie, which is as close to TV TNG Picard as the films actually got.
Sure, the film was dumb (its script was hammered out over a week or so, according to its own writers), but... it's certainly not the WORST thing in Trek history.
AGT was great and it's super easy to just pretend to oneself the movies don't exist in you're own internal mind and that was the end. But of course the characters were still alive and seemingly still doing what they do, as they were not separating or retiring or anything.
IMO the movies are maligned somewhat unfairly. FC almost makes them worth it on its own irrespective of if you liked the other three films. FC was a great film. Generations and Insurrection are critiqued for being like big TV episodes but I don't find that to be that big a problem as I liked TNG the series anyway so I can overlook and just enjoy it for what it is.
Nemesis is the low point for me. Even then, I find aspects to it I enjoy. The space battle is pretty decent tbf. B4 is interesting subplot which sadly doesn't go very far into anything. The actual plot is interesting but the execution is very flawed to say the least. The budget needed to be bigger and they needed to move off the ships a bit and try to make the movie bigger in terms of locations and some really exciting set pieces. What we got was a limiting movie with pretty bland set design.
I did like the Enterprise E bridge and the new sickbay looked better than what we had in last two movies lol
The Romulan Senate was WAY too small IMO!
To me, all the movies were terrible because of Patrick Stewart. It was obvious he experimented with radically different Picard’s personalities in the movies to audition for future acting roles instead of honestly approaching the character. He absolutely despised being typecast after Star Trek and he frequently brings it up in his interviews.
100% this.
“Final nail,” oh if only
I forgot about the Dr. Evil bit in this review, it's pure gold. Thanks for remastering it
You could say, the cymbalism was off in this movie.
Season 8 of TNG died for this.
What do you mean by that?
There was never a season 8. It was always meant to go 7
Not all heroes wear capes. Unless you wear one, which I fully support. This is my favorite of Plinkett's ST stuff.
Aw, Tom Hardy’s quaint coke days.
Ain't nothing quaint about them now.
His best role
I mean, his movie career began on bangers, between this and Black Hawk Down.
Marina Sirtis: I’m proud of the work that we all did.
Deanna Troi: I’m not certain of that now, Captain.
And yet, Star Trek: Picard make this movie look like an academy Award winner. Which is a sad commentary in and of itself
I'm trying my best to space these out but it's so exciting to see my favourite reviews in glorious HD! Incredible work on these, what a wonderful gift to all RLM fans
Osw and RLM. The cross-over I didn't know I wanted. You could get Mac involved and do a Best of The Worst with movies staring wrestlers.
Dear god osw review and red letter media together. It is the Klingon and federation alliance we all dreamed of.
Space battles in Star Trek are now like cheap dogfights in some PS4 game. The reason the action worked so well in Wrath of Khan was because they really felt like proper naval battles. I relished the way the ships made passes on each other and let off a volley of shots. It gave you a sense of scale and grandeur. Now they just race around, twisting and turning like Spitfires going "pew pew pew" constantly. It's boring and feels completely fake.
I think that the reason Janeway was made into an Admiral was so that the other higher-ups in Starfleet could put her on Desk Duty.
failing upwards.....too much of that these days...
She traded the job for her borg killing technology
Maybe it was because being insane and/or evil generally seems to be a job requirement for Admirals in Starfleet.
@@TerrenceNowicki DEFINITELY has to be on the job requirements of on the paperwork of becoming an admiral in star-fleet/federation
this should be mandatory viewing for anyone who wants to make more Trek
'This is something I have to do.' Riker: Send Data he's virtually unstoppable. Picard: Nah!
Wesley got bored traveling with a guy whose technology could send starships to the edge of the known universe?
The cymbals are obviously transparent aluminum
That would make sense except real cymbals aren't made of normal aluminum.
@@Torus2112 I know, I know..... Just let me have my little jokey trek reference plz kthxbai
Oh man, that would suck if true.
Everytime the ship gets shot, it sounds like a marching band passing by a window.
"Star Trek: Nemesis is the final nail in the proverbial space coffin"
It's like the people in control of the franchise took this as a challenge to deliberately make it even worse.
Dig it back up! We've got newer, bigger nails now.
Holy shit, I hope that this reaches Mike somehow. That's a good amount of work, which went into this. Respect!
Considering the _thicckness_ Worf achieved in the 3 years since the end of DS9, I think that Admiral Ross actually asked Worf if he'd like to be the Federation Ambassador to _Krispy Kreme_
Probably because he was depressed like everyone else making the movie with Baird the clown directing lol?
Honestly I understand Star Trek Picard right now. Nemesis was probably the last thing the four producers watched (while high) and it was the only thing they could remember in the meeting the next day after they were choomed out their gourd, so they only centred the plot around androids and Romulans.
Dude. Your work is insane. Kudos
Crap, Nemesis feels like a pleasant memory compared to Star Trek: Picard. If old Plinkett could have seen the future, he would have made good on his coffin shopping joke.
(Beautiful remaster by the way)
Any previous Trek is better then the hot garbage of _Star Trash: Disaster, Star 'Tard: Picard_ and _Star Wreck: Lower Dreck_ -- which is saying a lot considering how bad Nemesis was.
Well but is like the beginning of the end
One saving grace of Star Trek Nemesis is Jerry Goldsmith's soundtrack, one of the last survivors from Star Trek's glory days.
@@MichaelPohoreski
All the signs of Star Trek's demise were there in Nemesis: Patrick Stewart re-writing the script so it was a story about Patrick Stewart more than Jean-Luc Picard; nonsense story that makes no sense if you think about it for a few seconds; ripping off other franchises and science-fiction (swooping CGI vistas look a lot like Peter Jackson's Lord of the Rings); focusing on cheap action that adds nothing to the story; producers and even actors who don't seem to know what Star Trek is really about; characters that don't behave anything like they did a few films before, or in their own TV series. Nu-Trek has taken all this and turned it up to 11.
There wouldn't have been a Star Trek Picard without Nemesis.
1:20 "People getting sucked out into space"
Data: "Correction Sir, that's blown out."
EDIT: You even completely recreated the Worf Weight Watchers cover at 37:37, LOL. That's dedication, considering I couldn't even read the small text on it due to the blurriness of the original video.
For all of Nemesis' flaws, Music is not one of them. The late Jerry Goldsmith's soundtrack for this film is absolutely phenomenal.
If only the same could be said for the film's script.
15:31 Remember when you could say the dune buggy chase was the dumbest sequence in Star Trek history?
Take me back.
Yum yum. That's the power of math, people!
Mr. Plinkett's Star Trek: Nemesis Review - Criterion Collection
Comes with full HD Remaster AND original 240p compressed version, along with hand crafted Pizza Roll recipe!
Still waiting for my damned pizza roll.
Did you accidentally try to correct him about the cymbals
10:04 That tapping sound. lol
I was just recommended this by you tube. The algorithm got it right. This was hilarious - nice work.
The fleet of starships showing up to check out the positronic signature is still hilarious a decade later. These reviews never get old!
Amazing work with the HD recut.
now i can see mr plinkett talk over clips of 300 pound michael dorn in glorious HD. thank you this is fantastic
That Dr. Evil Montage was perfect
"The only person turning my little man into a torch is my urologist AAAHHH!" Cracks me up every time! Seriously you're doing great work. Its great seeing these in higher quality in one long video. Thank you for your hard work.
This is the first and only film to break my heart in the cinema. I was ready for any kind of disappointment after this.
Little did Plinkett know that Discovery, Lower Drecks and Picrap would make this look tame by comparison.
Tame, I assume?
And nobody predicted it was going to get so bad. The OS films have aged like a fine wine, while the TNG films have aged like milk.
It makes Nemesis look like the blueprint for all the future Star Trek products despite that movie being a complete flop.
My god, I never noticed how much of a similar storyline nemesis was compared to wrath of kahn!
Still better than ST:Picard though.
It has some Wrath of Khan undertones, but there is a lot in common with Undiscovered Country. I'd argue more so than Wrath of Khan.
John Logan was fresh off his success with Gladiator and Stuart Baird was supposedly a last minute desperate switch for a different take after Frakes did the previous two, but he didn't understand the material like David Carson, and directing this was somehow tied to his contract to direct U.S. Marshalls.
Jason Lee then again why would i want John logan to be writer the new Star trek series not Alex kurtzman
Everything that has gone wrong with Star Trek in the last 10 years
That “fat guy with a beard” is named Biff Yeager and hes a legend
Wish I could get a Biff Yeager trading card.
@@abelq8008 Oh for a natural Yeager
I read somewhere that he used to get a ton of fan mail, saying they loved him, and it ended up being he was sending himself praises so they'd keep him on the show, LOL
The scenes of Picard and crew in the desert look like it could be a movie straight from Best of The Worst
I don’t know who you are but I think I love you.
You made me laugh for 45 minutes. And you know your Star Trek.
The original upload was from some old guy named Plinkett. He has ties to this group of misfits at Redlettermedia but who’s to say really?
Riker is the real Austin Powers in this comparison
Worf didn't become a Klingon ambassador, he was a Federation ambassador posted to Kronos. Just Saiyan.
Didn't the Klingons abandon Kronos after the destruction of Praxis?
I get that the bald picard captaining the ship is the same person in the picture, because they're both bald. But who was the kid with hair working in the mines? He just some random kid or what? I don't understand what the kids relevance to Picard and Shinzon is
It's funny how the Enterprise E seems to have a lethal laser rifle behind every wall in the ship. The walls are practically insulated with dangerous laser rifles. I don't recall seeing anyone use a gun in all of TNG but suddenly in the movies they have to be ready at any moment to murder their enemies.
Which also makes it weird when Picard beams to the Scimitar and they go out of their way to show he drops his phaser. Was there any chance he was gonna use that in this movie? The moviegoing audience probably saw that knock across the floor and went "what was that thing?"
just wanted to say thanks for remastering these: thanks!
This is great. Thanks for recreating this so well!
Plinkett reviews go so well with sampled rap beats.
I always know its getting close to finals, because I watch all of the plinkett review when I desperately need to study
Wesley went back to star fleet for the health insurance
Man I am so glad I found your channel!!! Entertainment, exposition, and Trek! Thanks! LLAP🖖🏿
I know I'm about 14 years late and on the wrong channel, but I really want a pizza roll send me a pizza roll. 🍕
Clearly they went to the same instrument store as Jake Busey's character from Starship Troopers.
"When producers and actors start meddling with the movie and develop the story, it always comes out like a big Lincoln log."
I'm sure that didn't happen at all with Star Trek: Picard right? Right???
You are a gentleman and a scholar for remastering this.
I took issue with the introduction of the new effects and clearer sound, i liked my sound grainy and video barley passable on my giant 8k tv
After I bread your comment, I donut understand why you’re complaining. Re-editing this with HD scenes should be the yeast of your worries.
Mr. Plinkett would have himself a grand ole time reviewing *Star Trek: Into Darkness.* Where the producers totally redone *The Wrath of Khan* and did everything wrong. At least *Insurrection* was at least watchable while still sucking all the air out of the room.
"Wait, none of this happened-" kills me every time
This is nothing short of painstaking..
It feels like this took more work than the prequels.
I've wanted rlm to remaster these for such a long time
Man, don’t stop making videos. Your humor is amazing!
So hardy hit some really deep seeded dark depression after making this movie because everyone railed on him for it or something, i forget the story, but I always thought hardy nailed that character, like full on boss mode.
Could this depressive episode have been related to Black Hawk Down, of which Hardy was also a cast member?
@@darwincity Ya, beats me, I don't know why he would of fell into a depression though. Sure the movie didn't do well and it wasn't spectacular but I seem to remember everyone doing a pretty good job. If I had to complain it would be mostly storyline, story telling and plot points. Not acting quality.
He's one of the best actors of our time. I'm on a big Tom Hardy kick and didn't realize he was in this movie. Didn't want to sit through the movie, so watching this instead. Might have to watch now because of this comment.
This is awesome, thank you for remastering this genius!
There’s a green plastic violin or fiddle in star ship troopers! Shared universe?!
I just found out full impulse is 1/4 the speed of light....it looks so slooooow thooooooough!
Over the years, I’ve come to prefer even The Final Frontier over Nemesis. It’s such a poor, poor movie on so many levels. What a terrible way to end a great TNG run.
Heya is TOS. A good way to start Trek or TNG.
The Final Frontier is actually fucking fantastic.
I refuse to buy Nemesis on DVD even for $2 at goodwill.
Star Trek Nemesis is so dark and depressing, it would fit in perfectly in Star Trek Discovery and Picard.
Nemesis is like steak dinner compared to STD and Picard
Why does the clone of a French character with a British accent also have a British accent?
wow the amount of work that went into this is unreal. thank you, it’s nice to not have that BotW quality to the old plinkett stuff
kamikazemelon787 Breath of the Wild?
Wow this must have taken a lot of time and dedication. Very well done sir! Looking forward to your upcoming remasters. Subbed!
King Arthur pulled himself on Mordred's pike at the end of Excalibur. That was a GOOD movie, unlike ST10.
"Come father, let us embrace at last"
Excuse me , i need to be alone with Helen Mirren's and Katrine Boorman's and Cherie Lunghi's breasts.
@@speedmastermarkiii and excaliber acthully happend to hsve aptrick Stewart in it
"Well Picard stayed on as captain"
Not according to ST: Picard.
He still stayed for a few years according to that timeline, it was 8 years before the JJplot began
I was learning how to do video editing specifically to do this! Wow, great work
Very low budget movies in the 70s and 80s managed to disguise jeeps or dune buggies or ATVS or motorcycles in interesting ways. And this StarTrek movie can not.
Nemesis is a bloody masterpiece compared to Abrams 'Star Trek into Cruddiness' and Discovery.
Hey remember when the kelvins wanted to capture the enterprise and sent out a distress signal that kirk responded to? That made sense
I'm just here for the pizza rolls. Am I too late?
Even Firefly’s MULE was a hovercraft! (in the film and it was always meant to be in the show but budget wasn’t there) Come on Trek!
"Riker even played a f*ckin' trumpet!"
Janeway wasn't just promoted to Admiral She was prompted to a full 4 pip admiral. She was given at least 4 Promotions for being one of the worse Captain's in Trek History until JJ Abrams and Alex Kurtzman got involved.
i can recite almost this whole video by memory
The close ups of Marina Sirtis are even more horrifying in HD
Fantastic video work here dude! Kudos
Thank you so much for the remasters. I'm about to watch this today with my girlfriend, and it's the end of our multi-year journey through all of Star Trek ('66-'05). It's too bad it ended this way, but I look at the entire saga as peaking with DS9 so the Voyager episodes and this movie are more like a little epilogue now...and of course after each TNG movie we do the Plinkett reviews so we'll be watching this later today. Thanks!
Hey now that I think about it can you just remaster DS9, please, because Paramount isn't.
What happened to Kirk's hair from TOS to the movies?
"What I do know is that the only thing spinning faster than those tyres is Gene Roddenberry in his grave."
