Star Trek Nemesis is generally considered one of the worst films in the franchise, but it does feature some memorable moments for the crew of Star Trek: The Next Generation. By the dawn of the 21st century, the Star Trek franchise was in fairly bad shape. Star Trek: Voyager ended its seven season run in 2001 with eroding viewership; Star Trek: Enterprise debuted later that same year and suffered middling reviews and anemic ratings. On the big screen, 1998's Star Trek: Insurrection failed to match the success of the previous TNG film, Star Trek: First Contact, and there was a then-unprecedented four year gap before the next film was released.
That film would ultimately become Star Trek Nemesis, the final film featuring the TNG cast. Star Trek Nemesis was a box office bomb, reviled by both critics and fans upon release. It's the only Star Trek film to not debut at the top of the American box office, bested by the Jennifer Lopez romcom Maid In Manhattan. It would be seven years before another Star Trek movie was released, which was the J.J. Abrams-produced reboot film starring younger versions of the Star Trek: The Original Series crew. Star Trek Nemesis was an objective failure, but it wasn't all bad.
