Plot

edit

On Romulus, members of theRomulanSenate debate terms of peace and alliance from the Reman rebel leader Shinzon. The Remans are a slave race of the Romulan Empire from the neighboring planet Remus, used as miners and cannon fodder. While a faction of the military supports Shinzon, the Praetor and Senate are opposed to an alliance. After rejecting the motion, the Praetor and senators are disintegrated by a device left in the room.

Meanwhile on Earth, the crew of the starshipEnterpriseprepare to bid farewell to newly married officersWilliam RikerandDeanna Troi.The android officer Data serenades the couple with a rendition of "Blue Skies"at a reception. En route to a second ceremony on Troi's homeworld, they discover an energy reading on the planet Kolarus III near the Romulan Neutral Zone. Captain Jean-Luc Picard, security officer Worf, and Data land on the planet and discover the remnants of an android resembling Data, named B-4. The trio are attacked by the native population, and leave the planet with B-4, which they deduce to be an earlier prototype built by Data's creator.

Enterpriseis ordered on a diplomatic mission to Romulus, where Shinzon has taken over the Empire and professes a desire for peace with the Federation. On arrival, they learn Shinzon is a clone of Picard, secretly created by the Romulans to plant a high-ranking spy into the Federation. The project was abandoned when Shinzon was still a child, and he was left on Remus to die as a slave. After many years, Shinzon became a leader of the Remans, and constructed a heavily armed flagship,Scimitar.TheEnterprisecrew discover thatScimitaris producing low levels of deadly thalaron radiation, the same radiation used to wipe out the Romulan Senate. There are also unexpected attempts to communicate with theEnterprisecomputers, and Shinzon invades Troi's mind through the telepathy of his Reman viceroy.

Medical officer Doctor Beverly Crusher discovers that Shinzon is dying rapidly because of the process used to clone him, and the only possible treatment is a transfusion of Picard's blood. Shinzon kidnaps Picard and B-4, having planted the android on Kolarus as a lure. Data reveals he swapped places with B-4, and rescues Picard. They determine Shinzon plans to useScimitarto invade the Federation, using its thalaron radiation generator to eradicate all life on Earth.

Enterpriseraces back to Federation space but is ambushed byScimitarin the Bassen Rift, a region which prevents subspace communication. Despite the aid of two Romulan Warbirds,Enterpriseis heavily damaged. Picard rams his ship intoScimitar,crippling both vessels. Shinzon activates the thalaron weapon in an act ofmutually assured destruction.Picard boardsScimitaralone to face Shinzon, and kills him by impaling him on a metal strut. WithEnterprise's transporters down, Data leaps the distance between the two ships equipped with an emergency transporter, transports Picard off the ship, and sacrifices himself to destroy the thalaron generator andScimitarwith it. The crew mourn Data, and the surviving Romulan commander, Donatra, offers them her gratitude for saving the Empire.

Back at Earth, Picard bids farewell to Riker, who is leaving with Troi to command the USSTitan.Picard meets with B-4, and discovers that, before he boarded theScimitar,Data downloaded his memories into B-4, allowing him to live on. As B-4 starts singing "Blue Skies", Picard leaves B-4's quarters and smiles.

Cast

edit

Production

edit

Development

edit

Logan, Spiner, and Berman spent nearly two years developing the concept. Logan wanted the Romulans to feature, finding their oily backhandedness more interesting than the straightforward violence of the Klingons as antagonists.[3]He insisted the story could feature the Remans, thinking that the second of the two planets featured in the Romulan crest must refer to them.[4]The producers considered adding the characters of Spock or Sela to the story, but considered them a distraction from the plot or too confusing to introduce for casual viewers. Through subsequent drafts, much of the Romulan political intrigue was jettisoned to focus on the Picard/Shinzon and Data/B-4 relationships.[5]The cast members' input informed story and script changes; Stewart objected to an early idea that Shinzon was not a clone but Picard's lost son, feeling it had been already explored and lent itself to "uninteresting" emotional dynamics.[6]

Stuart Baird was brought in to directNemesisby executive producer Rick Berman.[7]It was Baird's third film followingUS MarshalsandExecutive Decision,although he had directed a variety of second units previously. Baird did not have a background inStar Trek;he was aware of the films and television series, but did not consider himself an expert on the subject.[8]Berman explained that Baird would bring "fresh blood" to the film and that Berman had enjoyed "the sense of fun and action that existed inExecutive Decision."[9]Baird said in a promotional interview that this resulted in a non-typical Baird film, saying that it was "perhaps a little different from the dynamics of the previous films."[8]He wanted to add energy to the action scenes and added some set pieces, such as the car chase. He called that scene a "signature piece" for the film, which turns dark after the crew is put in danger by the inhabitants of the planet. He also found that the cast would discuss any issues they had with the direction he gave to their characters. Despite Frakes' being in the cast and having directed the previous twoStar Trekfilms, Baird decided not to seek his opinion on the direction of the film. He said that there was no resentment on set, noting that Frakes was completing work on directingClockstoppersat the time and so likely could not have taken on directingNemesiseven if Baird had not been given the job. Baird had hoped thatNemesiswould be enough of a success that he could consider whether to take the lead on a future, eleventhStar Trekfilm.[8]

Casting

edit

Baird and Berman had been searching for someone who resembled Patrick Stewart but looked about 25 years younger; at one point they consideredJude Law.Baird specifically wanted an unknown actor, and Hardy auditioned by tape after Stewart asked Hardy's agent if he thought any of his clients were suitable for the role. Hardy was filmingSimon: An English Legionnairein Morocco at the time,[10]: 37 and decided against using the requested text for the audition. Instead, he got possession of a full script forNemesis,used a different part of the script, and filmed it partly nude.[10]: 38 He was flown to Los Angeles to do a screen test with Stewart; Hardy later described his performance there as "appalling". However, he had recorded himself performing the same piece in a hotel room the night before, and gave that tape to Baird, resulting in his being cast as Shinzon a few days later.[10]: 39 

Sirtis was "ecstatic" about the role Troi plays in the movie. She was pleased with the wedding scene, saying that the dress she wore forNemesiswas nicer than the one she wore at her actual wedding. She was happy to work once again withWil WheatonandWhoopi Goldberg,but felt that the film would be the last one with the entire cast ofThe Next Generation.She remained certain that it would not be the lastStar Trekfilm to be made, as she thought that Paramount would want to make a film involving a variety of characters from the differentStar Trekseries.[11]

Perlman and Hardy became friends on the set. Perlman said in an interview eight years after the release of the film: "I loved him when I first met him. I loved working with him. I found him to be really smart, really a great kid."[10]: 43 

Design

edit

Nemesiscalled for a number of new ship and vehicle designs. IllustratorJohn Eavesdeveloped concept art for the new craft, collaborating with the artists at effects houseDigital Domainto adjust the designs as necessary when something worked in a two-dimensional drawing but did not look right once realized with three-dimensionalcomputer-generated imagery(CGI). Shinzon'sScimitarwas designed to appear to have a shared lineage with the new Romulan Warbird designs, but with the Romulan ships being sleeker, and the Reman ship more aggressive-looking with sharper edges. The new Warbirds retained elements from the WarbirdAndrew Proberthad designed forThe Next Generation,namely a birdlike bow. Eaves also consulted reference books for ideas on how to create featherlike patterns on the ships, realizing he may have been consulting the same inspiration thatNilo Rodishad used when developing theBird of PreyforStar Trek III."So I went back and changed what I had done so as to not copy him," Eaves recalled. "In a way, it was a tribute to Nilo's ship without being a remodel of it."[12]Scimitar's early concepts also echoed Rodis' Bird of Prey, with a large body framed by swept wings. Eaves decided to have the ship feature a "battle mode", with the wings splitting open as the film progresses to deploy the thalaron weapon. The initial digital model ofScimitarwas more than two million polygons, and took two hours to render a single frame of it. Affects art director Ron Gress and CG modeling lead Jay Barton whittled the design down to roughly 1.5 million polygons to make it easier to render.[12]Eaves also took advantage of the computer-generated nature of the ships to make subtle adjustments to the design of theEnterprise,which had been created forFirst Contact.Because of the orientation of battle scenes in that film, the ship was armed mostly towards the bottom and fore of the ship. In Nemesis, the script called forScimitarto launch attacks atEnterprise's top and aft, so the artists added additional weapon emplacements in those areas to return fire. Other adjustments included tweaking the placement of the engine nacelles and adding more of a curve along the hull. TheEnterprisemodel was made up of 1.3 million polygons, with the textures drawn from photographs of the real studio model fabricated forFirst Contact.It, and all the other digital models, were rendered inLightwave 3Dfor exterior views andMayafor interiors.[13]A few designs were partially realized through practical means, including the Reman Scorpions, and the all-terrain vehicles used in the Kolarus III sequence.[14][15]

Production design was headed byHerman Zimmerman.

Filming

edit
Glenn Cote and Brent Spiner on the set ofNemesis

Principal photographybegan in December 2001 in Southern California.[16]

In promotional interviews for the film, Patrick Stewart stated that room for a sequel was intentionally left.[17]

The first cut of the movie was two hours and 40 minutes long. The film was heavily trimmed down to a running time of under two hours, losing many character scenes, including Crusher leaving for a new medical position, La Forge dating Leah Brahms, and Wesley Crusher appearing at the wedding.[18]

Make-up and effects

edit

While many of the creative team were new to the series, the film's makeup was handled byMichael Westmore,who had worked on the franchise since 1986.[citation needed]The make-up team sought to make Hardy look more similar to Stewart by creating latex prosthetics from moulds of the latter's face. These included numerous versions of noses and chins, and in order to reduce the visible size of Hardy's lips a fake scar was added.[10]: 41 

Digital Domain handled most of the film's effects, contributing more than 30 minutes to the film across 400 shots.[19]With the added pressure of trying to outdo expectations, the effects house had only five months to produce the bulk of the film's effects, as much of the sequences did not arrive until May 2002.[20]Positive early reception to Digital Domain's efforts led to an increase in the scope of work, as Baird was able to lobby the studio to fund more expansive effects sequences. With their capabilities stretched, Digital Domain passed extra work to other studios, sending along already-finished examples to act as a reference for the roughly 15% of work they outsourced.[20]

The opening sequence on Romulus used a three-dimensional (3D) environment built based on two-dimensional matte paintings originally done by effects house Illusion Arts for the television series.[15][20]Illusion Arts also produced other shots of the Romulan capital seen later in the film, brought to life with animated people and moving ships in the sky.[20]Baird wanted the death of the Romulan senate to be gory but not disturbing.[15]The senators' initial decay was accomplished with makeup effects, with only the main characters in the foreground augmented with digital effects, as decay textures were mapped to the actors' faces. Digital scans of the actors were used to fabricate model heads and bodies used for the final part of the transformation; the models were shells filled with material to simulate ash upon shattering as the senators disintegrate.[21]

Although the majority of the exterior shots of ships were computer-generated, a practical 17-footEnterprisesaucer was built and collided into a model of theScimitarfor the film's climax.[22]

Music

edit
Main article:Star Trek: Nemesis (soundtrack)

The music toStar Trek: Nemesiswas composed and conducted byJerry Goldsmith,who composed previous entries in the franchise, such as theAcademy Award-nominated score forStar Trek: The Motion Picture,Star Trek V: The Final Frontier,Star Trek: First Contact,andStar Trek: Insurrection,as well as the themes to the television seriesStar Trek: The Next Generation(arranged byDennis McCarthy) andStar Trek: Voyager.He had also scored both of Baird's previous films,Executive DecisionandU.S. Marshals.Nemesiswas one of the final works written before Goldsmith's death in 2004.

The score opens with airy synthesizers under a trumpet performing anaugmented triadbefore preceding intoAlexander Courage'sStar Trek: The Original Seriesfanfare. The score then quickly transitions into a much darker theme to accompany the conflict between theRemansandRomulans.Goldsmith also composed a new 5-note theme to accompany the characterShinzonand theScimitar,which is manipulated throughout the score to reflect the multiple dimensions of the character. The score is book-ended with Goldsmith's theme fromStar Trek: The Motion Picture,following a brief excerpt from the song "Blue Skies"byIrving Berlinand the originalStar Trekfanfare.[23]

Themes

edit

Nemesiscontinues the franchise's longtime focus on issues of identity and cloning,[24][25]which had only grown more pronounced after the cloning of the sheepDollyin 1996.[26]The film even recasts the Romulan Empire as a mirror image of the Federation.[27]Law professor Kieran Tranter and Bronwyn Statham argue thatNemesisexplores the "clone hysteria" that, concurrent to the film's release, led to the passage of the Prohibition of Human Cloning Act in Australia. To them,Nemesisrepeats the tropes of the double being innately evil with Picard and Shinzon, but challenges it with Data and B-4. It is Data, not the duplicate, who impersonates the other in subterfuge, and there is no "uncanny [...] commonality" in their relation to each other; they relate not as good and evil twins, but as family. Clone hysteria also focuses on the loss of individuality; Shinzon suffers a crisis of identity upon meeting Picard and must destroy the original to survive. But the film also touches on the question ofNature versus nurture.Tranter, Statham, and professor Diana Relke agree thatNemesisrejects the simple thesis that genetics determines the self.[28][24]Jan Domaradzki noted thatNemesis'treatment of clones aligns with common features of biotechnologies in science fiction films, where the technology is relatively easy but comes with serious side effects and medical issues for the clones.[29]

David Green argued in 2009 thatNemesiswas the apotheosis of the franchise's recurring challenges to traditional conceptions of masculinity, offering a version ofParadise Lostthat can be seen to have queer themes.[30]

Release

edit

Marketing

edit

At the time ofNemesis's release,Star Trekwas an aging franchise of more than 35 years, and the film (alongside the recent release of the television showStar Trek: Enterprise) were seen as attempts to appeal to younger viewers with sex appeal and a heavier focus on action.[31]Nemesishad comparatively little marketing, despite releasing so long after the previous film. Merchandise included a line of action figures, trading card set, soundtrack, novelization, and tie-in official magazines. Regional food promotions with Safeway Grocery Stores and Del Taco occurred in Southern California.[32]

Box office

edit
Grauman's Chinese Theatre in Los Angeles, whereStar Trek: Nemesis's US premiere took place on December 9, 2002

The premiere ofStar Trek: Nemesistook place atGrauman's Chinese Theatrein Los Angeles on December 9, 2002. It was attended by the cast and crew, with the exception of Jonathan Frakes who was away directing the filmThunderbirds.The after party was held in theKodak Theatrecomplex.[33]Nemesiswas released on December 13, 2002, in direct competition withHarry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets(released November 15, 2002), the 20th James Bond filmDie Another Day(released November 22, 2002), andThe Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers(released December 18, 2002). ProducerRick Bermanhas suggested thatNemesis's performance may have been negatively affected by "the competition of other films".[34]This poor performance was predicted by reviewers, due to the short period in the film's release beforeThe Two Towerswas released.[35]The film's gross domestic income was the lowest of the franchise at $43,254,409 as of September 2008. It opened at #2 in the US box office ($200,000 behindMaid in Manhattan) and was the firstTrekfilm not to debut as the highest-grossing film of the week.[36]It earned a total of $67,312,826 worldwide, against a production budget of $60 million.[2]

Reception

edit

Nemesisreceived negative reviews from critics.[37]38% of critics gave the film a positive review onRotten Tomatoes,[38]and the film has a 51% average rating onMetacritic.[39]Theatergoing audiences surveyed byCinemaScoregave the film a grade "A−" on scale of A to F.[40]

Roger Ebertof theChicago Sun-Timeshad mixed feelings about the film, stating: "I'm smiling like a good sport and trying to get with the dialogue... and gradually it occurs to me thatStar Trekis over for me. I've been looking at these stories for half a lifetime, and, let's face it, they're out of gas. "Ebert gave the film two out of four stars.[41] Mick LaSalle of theSan Francisco Chroniclesaid that the film is a "rather harebrained story that's relieved to a degree only by some striking visual effects and by Patrick Stewart's outstanding presence as Picard". LaSalle complained that Stewart gave "integrity and wry stoicism toNemesis,but the movie [was] unworthy of him ".[42]Owen GleibermanofEntertainment Weeklygave the film a positive review, commenting that the crew "indulge[s] the force of humanity over hardware in a way thatGeorge Lucashad forgotten. "Gleiberman gave the film a" B− ".[43]Stephen Holden ofThe New York Timessaid that the film is a "klutzy affair whose warm, fuzzy heart emits intermittent bleats from the sleeve of its gleaming spacesuit". Holden praised the scenes where theEnterpriseand theScimitarram into each other during the final battle.[44]

Diana Relke suggested that in the post-9/11 cultural consciousness, the message of an illegitimate political leader launching an unprovoked war might have been a parallel to real events American audiences were not ready to entertain.[45]

The film was nominated for theSaturn AwardsforBest Science Fiction FilmandBest Costumebut lost to bothMinority ReportandStar Wars: Episode II – Attack of the Clones,respectively, while Hardy was nominated forBest Supporting Actorbut lost out toAndy Serkisfor his role inThe Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers.[10]: 45 

The movie was not well-loved among the cast, withLeVar BurtonandMarina Sirtisspeaking unflatteringly of Baird, criticizing him for not watching any episodes ofThe Next Generation.[46][47]Frakes said that if he himself had directedNemesis,he would have made the film less villain-centric and given more screen time to the regularNext Generationcast.[48] Patrick Stewart later describedNemesisas a "pretty weak" finale forThe Next Generation.[49]

Some of the events of the film would later be followed up on in the 2020 television seriesStar Trek: Picard,set twenty years after the events ofNemesis.[50][51]
