Star Trek: Nemesis

Star Trek: Nemesis is a 2002 American science fiction film released by Paramount Pictures. It is the tenth feature film in the Star Trek franchise and, to date, the last of the Star Trek films to include the entire main cast of the Star Trek: The Next Generation television series. It was directed by Stuart Baird and written by John Logan (from a story developed by Logan, Brent Spiner, and producer Rick Berman). The crew of the USS Enterprise-E are forced to deal with a threat to the United Federation of Planets from a Reman clone of Captain Picard named Shinzon who has taken control of the Romulan Star Empire in a coup d'état.

Principal photography took place from November 2001 to March 2002. Jerry Goldsmith composed the film's score. The film was released in North America on December 13, 2002. The film received generally negative reviews, with publications criticizing the film for being the least successful in the Star Trek franchise. The film went on to earn $67,312,826 worldwide. Following the failure of the film and the cancellation of Star Trek: Enterprise, Berman and Erik Jendresen began development on the unproduced Star Trek: The Beginning. That same year, Viacom split from CBS Corporation and Paramount eventually rebooted the film series with Star Trek by J. J. Abrams.

The film is notorious among fans of the film series for being the first even-numbered film in the saga to be received poorly (during the planning stages, the film was referred to as Star Trek X).

It was also Stuart Baird's last film to date as a director. He has since returned to his primary area of expertise, film editing.
