Star trek first contact screenit4/29/2023 ![]() to hell with our orders."Īt the battle, one ship in the thick of things is the Defiant, with Worf in command. He waits for objections, but Data reassures him "I believe I speak for everyone when I say. Hawk to take the ship to the battle, noting that it's a violation of orders. The crew hears Starfleet orders, Borg threats (which echo those Picard remembers making himself as Locutus), more Starfleet orders-then, suddenly, silence. Sounds of the battle are patched in, audio only. Suddenly, Troi calls in saying that Starfleet has engaged the Borg, and Picard and Riker hurry to the bridge. It seems that Starfleet feels Picard might be "an unstable element" in the battle, given his prior abduction and alteration by the Borg and despite Riker's objections that the worry is preposterous, Picard notes that Starfleet disagrees. Picard reads off various dry observations, then scoffs "well, this is certainly worthy of our attention." Riker asks why the Enterprise is stuck on this patrol, and Picard notes that the concern is with the captain, not the ship or crew. Everyone is incredulous, but Picard is adamant.Īfter their first patrol, Riker goes to give Picard the initial report. ![]() Data begins to rattle off times to meet the fleet, but Picard interrupts: "We're not going." The Enterprise-E's orders are to patrol the Neutral Zone, in case the Romulans decide to take advantage of the situation. Later, at a briefing, the senior staff (including Geordi with ocular implants instead of a VISOR) hears that it's only one ship, and that Starfleet is assembling a fleet to intercept them. ![]() However, for some reason, Picard already knew that. It's a call from an admiral-the Borg have attacked a Federation outer colony and are heading directly for Earth. and Picard wakes again, for real this time and in a cold sweat, just in time to hear the comm channel chirp at him. Suddenly, a Borg servo erupts from his cheek. He sees something moving under his cheek. ![]() Groggy and uneasy, he washes his face, then looks in the mirror. As Locutus of Borg, he controls an attack on the Federation. As flashbacks continue, we see him gradually altered. As it pulls back, Picard is shown in a Borg cube, one of millions of beings. The camera pulls back from a close-up of someone's eye, soon revealed as Picard's. (For those not interested, you can scan ahead to a line consisting of "=" and nothing else.) but first, since this is a TNG feature, I feel compelled to go back to my TNG-reviewing days of yore and provide a detailed synopsis. There's a lot to say about FC, nearly all of it good. See it, and see it on as big a screen as possible you won't regret it. In brief: The best Trek film in fourteen years, possibly at all. There is no 4K version available with HDR, Dolby Vision, or Dolby Atmos currently.WARNING: Spoilers abound for the newly released film " Star Trek: First Contact". Unfortunately, Star Trek: Picard is only streaming in HD with 5.1 sound. This is adequate while Stewart is on screen, but what about episodes when he’s not on screen 90 percent of the time?ĬHECK OUT: The movies HBO Max must stream at launch in 2020 4K/HDR/Dolby Atmos For instance, Isa Briones, who plays a key role in the episode (and show probably), is fantastic in the action scenes, but has moments that reminded me of Joey Tribbiani’s “smell the fart” acting. His costars seem to be delivering performances on the TV soap side of acting. ![]() The concern I have for Star Trek: Picard is that it’s reliant on Patrick Stewart to a fault. It definitely makes me, a Star Wars fan, want to watch at least Episode 2. It titillates visually (for the most part), and it introduces the start of a story arc that science fiction fans will want to see more of. There’s no doubt Star Trek: Picard Episode 1 is a home run.
