Nemesis available 5/20 -- worth the price?

Paramount has set the MSRP of Star Trek: Nemesis at $29.99. Amazon is around $22.50, and buy.com comes in a dollar or so lower than that. It's unclear what prices places like Wal-Mart may charge. However, it's worth remembering that Star Wars II, a movie I consider to be better than Nemesis (which isn't a huge complement) was available at Wal-Mart for around $13 when it first appeared.

Nemesis comes with "four exclusive commentaries", plus the usual (for a DVD): deleted scenes and a photo gallary.

What price do you think it's worth?

I never even went to see it in the theater... Sorry, but I really just found everything that I'd heard or seen about the film to be... boring.

But I do have a downloaded copy on the 'puter. (Copyright piracy!? ME!? Nooooooooooo! ;) ) I've only watched the first 10 minutes or so, and it seems... eh. That's all, just... eh. Maybe I'll feel different after I see the whole thing.

And the copy I have is crappy, so if I do like it, I will probably buy the DVD.

Just my twin coppers...

H.

FYI, Hugh, I was appalled by the first 20 minutes of the movie, then I found what followed much better. Not a stellar movie, but still nice. Then again I'm one of those strange beings who loves Enterprise...

As for the price, hey... seems to me Paramount knows the meaning of the word "to milk a cash cow"... :rolleyes:

according to The SciFi channel new letter their adding 45 minutes of deleted footage.
"The scenes include one between Data and Jean-Luc Picard, in which they share a bottle of 2267 Chateau Picard champagne; an early scene of Shinzon; one between Worf and Picard in the observation lounge; one with Deanna Troi and Picard in a corridor; a second scene of "mental rape" of Troi in a turbolift; a sickbay scene with Picard and Dr. Beverly Crusher; and the original ending of the film, featuring the new first officer, Cmdr. Madden."
The one I want to see is the one w/ Cmdr Madden,if it's like the book version.Very funny

I don't. Frickin' seatbelts. What's the point of it being science Fiction when we just have today's tech? :mad:

Okay, remember that just because there might be a more technological way of doing things, it's not necessarily better.

So, even though Trek has force fields and duranium plating to minimize damage, and inertial dampers to limit how much the crew gets thrown around...some good old-fashioned seat belts (or other type of simple restraints, like the folding chair arms from TMP and ST II) may keep a couple more crewmen in their chairs.

Now, as for me, I'll be getting it as soon as its available, $29.95 or not. :)

Personally, apart from a few glaring issues, Nemesis was fun. Looked better on the big screen. I will buy the DVD for all the extra scenes that were cut. And I know a lot of people that like Enterprise (last couple of eps have been better) but they do need a direction with the show. I still like Enterprise. DS9 and Voyager were not great in their first two seasons either...

Granted, but it's just so.... un cool. To me.

And it just seems that since the start of the TNG, when the simplest solution (To us) wasn't the one that got used (I mean, a ship that can't even support it's own weight unpowered, yikes) its been geting more and more ... well, clunkier.

I just think that while it confirms more to real world thinking, it doesn't seem as internally consistent.

but I'd like to point out that's just me ;)

And I think Nemesis had a few too many props that looked like tehy should have been in enteprise - like the Argo for example.

Having said that, the new tricorders are cool :D - so I'm not consitent. oh well...

I just get the same feeling when I hear seatbelts to that when I saw that joystick in insurection.... I cringed so far into my seat I nearly fell through it. And hey, I loved that film....

anyway.

later days!

I'm another one of those "strange beings..." :D
I'd pay the $29.99, but not much more.

I want my original two hours back. So, I say "won't buy it for any price."

I'll wait a few days. This one'll show up on the discount rack at Hastings in a few weeks. I'd pay 9 or 10 bucks, max; more than I would for Generations (oooh....what a turkey that was.)

Since I am definitely in the minority. Enterprise and Voyager and now Nemisis Lover, I will definitely pay the 29.99 if I had to but I always look for a good deal :D

Not really a big fan. I'll probably get it anyway' at Walmart 'cuz I like FX -- the new Romulan ships rocked. It's rare you actually get a good 2 hour film when the first cut is over 3 hours, which also means the script wasn't really properly pared either.
