Story Synopsis:
In "Star Trek Nemesis," the 10th film in the "Star Trek" series, Captain Jean-Luc Picard (Stewart) and the Enterprise crew find themselves on a diplomatic mission to initiate peace with the Romulans. Learning that the Romulans have undergone a political upheaval and their new leader, a Praetor, wants to discuss a peace treaty with the Federation, Picard and his crew must investigate the situation and determine their sincerity. But Picard and crew learn that not only is the new Praetor not a Romulan at all, they also find that he is a human replica of Picard, originally bio-engineered by the Romulans to be substituted for the captain as a weapon against the Federation. Now, Picard and his crew must determine if the Romulans truly desire a peace treaty, or if they have other plans in mind. Based upon "Star Trek" created by Gene Roddenberry.
DVD Picture:
Compared to the previously released DVD (reviewed in Issue 74), this new anamorphically enhanced 2.35:1 DVD exhibits a slightly improved image that videophiles will appreciate, due to a much higher overall bit rate. Otherwise, the picture is quite similar, with images that are nicely detailed and sharp, with excellent contrast and shadow delineation for this often-dark picture. The color palette is rich, with bold blues and reds, accurate fleshtones, and endless blacks. The computer-generated images are incredibly detailed. Rare flecks of dirt are noticed in the source element, but overall the picture is clean and solid. Nitpicking will reveal an occasional edge halo or minor pixel breakup, but Trekkers will be very satisfied with this Collector
