If they had shortened it to TV length, it would have made for a great episode of the series.
Nemesis is just an awful movie in almost every aspect. Solid performance by Tom Hardy though. I always forget that was one of his first major film roles. Other than Patrick Stewart who always seems to bring his best no matter what the circumstances, the rest of the main cast look like they're sleepwalking their way through the film.

It was pretty much supposed to be the first couple of episodes of Star Trek: Series II!
Personally I really enjoy TMP as it had the feeling of true Trek - the wonder of humanity, personal relationships and a reflection of ourselves today.
I don't think Trek needs to revert to big space battles to be good.
