Star Trek: First Contact

(Jonathan Frakes, US 1996, 110 min., 35mm)

Captain Picard (Patrick Stewart) relives his worst nightmare as the zombie-like Borg invade the Enterprise. In an effort to thwart the Borg assimilation of Earth, Picard’s crew members time-travel to the 21st century to aid inventor Zefram Cochrane (James Cromwell) in his historic first flight at warp speed. Director Frakes (who also plays Commander Riker) deftly handles multiple storylines in what is generally regarded as the best of the Next Generation series of Trek movies.
