So this is the last film of the Next Generation crew. It's a little barebones but it's not horrible.Captain Picard (Patrick Stewart) is happy to announce the wedding of his first mate, Commander Riker (Jonathan Frakes) and Deanna Troi (Marina Sirtis) but as usual, Starfleet business intervenes. The Romulan government has had a coup and a member of their underclass of Remans has taken power. The new leader, Shinzon (Tom Hardy), wishes to open dialogue with Starfleet and the Enterprise is dispatched. Picard is shocked and dismayed to learn, however, that Shinzon is not only human, he is a clone of Picard; a legacy of an abandoned experiment to replace the real captain. Shinzon seems genuinely interested in meeting his biological donor but Picard fears there are multiple agendas at play.
The idea that Tom Hardy and Patrick Stewart could be clones is kind of ridiculous but any movie with Tom Hardy and Patrick Stewart is better than one without. It's nice to see some of the storylines getting wrapped up but I wish the movie could have had more oomph to it.
