The Chicago Tribune's Michael Wilmington becomes one of the first critics to err more on the positive side in its review of STAR TREK NEMESIS. Awarding the pic 2 1/2 out of four stars, Wilmington says the picture is anything but flawless but has all the right elements to make it a successful outing.

"Nemesis is a deep-space overachiever that tries to conquer the universe again on a diminished budget and ship-bound settings," he writes. "...the moviemakers here attack us at our weak emotional spots with nostalgia, special effects, coruscating action and auld lang syne."

Wilmington says NEMESIS is easily superior to 1998's "vacuous" INSURRECTION and suggests it is nearly as emotionally-resonant as STAR TREK II: THE WRATH OF KHAN.

The Tribune also likes Patrick Stewart and Tom Hardy, saying "The core of the film is the father-son battle between Picard and Shinzon, and as Stewart plays against the talented young Hardy as his clone, we get both combat and a sense of longing and regret," and calling Shinzon one of the TREK film series' "major heavies."

Wilmington says he's no fan of the other three TNG movies but NEMESIS sparks feelings of old: "As a pop phenomenon, "Star Trek" was notable because its stories were more than sci-fi hardware. They emphasized ideas and parallels with the present, and this movie tries to revive that idealism, even though most of the feeling it ends up quickening is for the series itself. Yet it's nice to catch a bit of that mood again, to feel connected to the long-spanned TV and movie past "Star Trek" always evokes."

The Atlanta Journal-Constitution isn't quite as pleased with the film, rating it a C and filling its review with contradiction: "The overall feel of the film is pretty cheesy, but there's still a real sense that the "Star Trek" tradition has been honored as best it can, given the embarrassing script and weak direction... The picture's most interesting theme is the idea of a doppelgänger, a kind of twin. There are Picard and Shinzon, first of all, but also Data and a childlike earlier model known as B-4, and then the Romulans and Remans themselves, their names a reference to mythical twin founders of Rome, Romulus and Remus."
