The 10th entry in the long-running Star Trek franchise sees the crew of the USS Enterprise about to split up after the nuptials of Commander Riker (Jonathan Frakes) and Counselor Troi (Marina Sirtis), and Riker's acceptance of his own starship command. However, their plans change when the Romulans offer a suspect peace treaty and Captain Picard (Patrick Stewart) encounters his evil clone twin, Shinzon (Tom Hardy). Like many of the previous big-screen adventures, this action-packed outing - for an increasingly ageing crew, it has to be said - resembles a good episode of the TV series stretched to feature-film length and contains nothing new or surprising in terms of plot. But for legions of fans, it's a welcome if bittersweet return to familiar territory, given the clear hints that this will be the last film to feature the complete Next Generation company of actors.

En route to the honeymoon of William Riker to Deanna Troi on her home planet of Betazed, Captain Jean-Luc Picard and the crew of the U.S.S. Enterprise receives word from Starfleet that a coup has resulted in the installation of a new Romulan political leader, Shinzon, who claims to seek peace with the human-backed United Federation of Planets. Once in enemy territory, the captain and his crew make a startling discovery: Shinzon is human, a slave from the Romulan sister planet of Remus, and has a secret, shocking relationship to Picard himself.
