Look I'm not a Trekkie, by any stretch of the imagination and find most of the material dull and repetitive, but you know what? I still find First Contact to be a fine film and the best in that particular franchise (if not Wrath of Kahn) and certainly one of the better sci-fi movies of the 1990s.
His review is not a review. It is a list of microscopic fanboy nitpicking. Nothing he says is constructive. He also does not know how to watch cinema very well if he spends most of the review (I only watched the first part) complaining about character motivations that are as clear as day (the reason he chose to disobey orders and the reason he was distanced by the Federation, for example was that he was traumatically scarred by his contact with the Borg and would go renegade eventually or on a personal vendetta, which he does later on in the film. Hence his entire character arc and explaining the dream at the beginning of the movie). Applying simple logic does help, like Picard knowing the Borg's ship weaknesses as once being one of them. This entire rant of his just is hypocritical whining over minute things. I never watched TNG or DS9 on television, and I could deduce later in the continuity that the Warf character left the crew to pilot his own ship in the Federation and the narrative slowly unfolds who James Cromwell's character is and why the bad guys went to the past.
And then he complains about it not being aimed at a wider audience like Nemesis? I just shrug. I don't really remember Nemesis, but I remember it was kind of boring and pointless. This movie's plot I still remember as being very pointed and confident of what it wanted to say and achieving that. It was well made. His review is not, hence I only watched the first third of it.
