Star Trek turkeys simply aren't that bad (perfect for Thanksgiving watch parties)

Flawed, forgotten, yet surprisingly fun, these Trek movies deserve a second warp around the sun.

3. Star Trek: Nemesis (TNG)

The last movie with the TNG cast, Nemesis, got bad reviews from many viewers because it had a dark tone and a script that didn't make sense. It also underwhelmed at the box office. There is a lot of psychological depth in the movie because it's mostly about how Picard and his clone Shinzon (played by a young Tom Hardy) are different.

It's clear how important Data was to the crew's unity that even the toughest fans cry at his last act, and one of the movie's big action scenes is a thrilling starship collision. Nemesis is a Star Trek movie that talks about identity, forgiveness, and the price of peace, making it a more thoughtful Trek entry than many remember.
