I watched Nemesis again, for the first time in years. I thought Tom Hardy’s performance as Shinzon was amazing but I thought the character itself could have been given more development. I thought the film itself was lacking. The film kind of seemed pointless to me. I do still like this movie and I like the character of Shinzon but I thought it could have been much better. I thought the film’s themes of identity were fascinating but I struggled to find any meaning in it beyond that. Maybe there is no other meaning but the theme of identity could have been explored much more. Anyway, do y’all like this movie? Why or why not?
I didn’t personally, though I believe it was victim of the period at which it was made; with a sudden propension to weaker and oversimplified scenarios, overly aggressive cut scenes, ridiculously dumbed-down low dialogs, along with television networks who totally butchered the movies during reruns to allow more ads etc.
It’s not just that specific movie, it was how all “action” movies were filmed during those years, and the quality of Nemesis suffered because of it, just like Discovery’s second and third seasons suffered greatly by both the pandemic and the actors’ strike, causing shortened and greatly affected production time, resulting in 10-episodes seasons and broken scenarios.
