''Star Trek: Nemesis'' is a 2002 American science fiction film released by Paramount Pictures. It is the tenth film in the ''Star Trek'' film franchise and is the fourth and last film to star the cast of the television program ''Star Trek: The Next Generation''. It was directed by Stuart Baird and written by John Logan (from a story developed by Logan, Brent Spiner, and producer Rick Berman). The crew of the USS ''Enterprise''-E are forced to deal with a threat to the United Federation of Planets from a Reman clone of Captain Picard named Shinzon who has taken control of the Romulan Star Empire in a coup d'état. Principal photography took place from November 2001 to March 2002. Jerry Goldsmith composed the film's score. The film was released in North America on December 13, 2002. The film received generally mixed reviews, with publications criticizing the film for being the least successful in the ''Star Trek'' franchise. The film went on to earn $67,312,826 worldwide, making it a box office disappointment. Following the failure of the film and the cancellation of ''Star Trek: Enterprise'', Berman and Erik Jendresen began development on the unproduced ''Star Trek: The Beginning''. Three years later, Viacom split from CBS Corporation and Paramount eventually rebooted the film series in 2009 with ''Star Trek'' by J. J. Abrams. ==Plot== During a session of the Romulan Imperial Senate, the military offers the plans to join forces with the Reman military and invade the Federation, but the Praetor refuses. One senator excuses herself for a meeting, leaving behind a device that releases a cascade of green radiation, killing the entire remaining Senate. Meanwhile, the crew of the USS ''Enterprise''-E prepares to bid farewell to longtime first officer Commander William Riker and Counselor Deanna Troi, who are being married on Betazed. En route, they discover a positronic energy reading on a planet in the Kolaran system near the Romulan Neutral Zone. Captain Jean-Luc Picard, Lieutenant Commander Worf, and Lieutenant Commander Data land on Kolarus III and discover the remnants of an android resembling Data. When the android is reassembled it reveals its name is B-4, and the crew deduce it to be a less-advanced, earlier version of Data. Vice Admiral Kathryn Janeway orders the crew to conduct a diplomatic mission to Romulus. Janeway informs Picard that the Romulan government has undergone a military coup and is now controlled by a Reman named Shinzon, saying he wants peace with the Federation and to bring freedom to Remus. This is a surprising development as the Romulans had regarded Remans as an undesirable caste used principally as slave labor and shock troops during the Dominion War, due to their long history of prejudice. Upon their arrival on Romulus, the crew learns that Shinzon is actually a clone of Picard, following a secret experiment conducted by the Romulans to take Picard's place in Starfleet as a spy; however, he and the project were abandoned after a political change in the Romulan government left him cast away to Remus as a slave. It is there that he meets his Reman brethren and effects his rise to power. It was also on Remus where Shinzon constructed his flagship, a heavily armed warship named ''Scimitar'', with a completely undetectable cloaking device, an arsenal of weapons, and virtually impregnable shields. Though the diplomatic mission seems to go smoothly, the crew discovers that the ''Scimitar'' is emitting low levels of extremely dangerous thalaron radiation (the same radiation used to assassinate the Romulan senate), several unauthorized computer accesses take place aboard the ''Enterprise'', and Troi is mentally attacked by Shinzon while she is having sexual intercourse with Riker. Shinzon captures Picard after Beverly has informed him that Shinzon is slowly dying of accelerated aging as a result of his being cloned; the only thing which will restore him is a full transfusion of Picard's blood. Shinzon also transports B-4 aboard the ''Scimitar'', revealing Shinzon was behind the placing of B-4 on Kolarus III to lure Picard to Romulus. However, B-4 reveals himself to actually be Data — he rescues Picard and they make their escape back to their ship. Realizing that the ''Scimitar'' is a weaponized thalaron emitter with enough power to destroy all life forms in a fleet of ships as well as an entire planet, Data deduces that Shinzon is using the warship to conquer the Federation and destroy Earth. The ''Enterprise'' races back towards Federation space in accordance with orders from Starfleet to rendezvous with other starships, but is soon ambushed in the Bassen Rift (a region which disrupts subspace communications) by the ''Scimitar'', disabling the ''Enterprise's'' warp drive in the process. In the ensuing assault, the ''Enterprise'' is outmatched and unable to call for help. Two Romulan warbirds arrive and assist the ''Enterprise'' in the battle (the Romulan military having realized they will be held as complicit in Shinzon's genocidal plans), but Shinzon destroys one warbird (a piece of whose starboard wing hits the ''Enterprise'') and disables the other. Refocusing his attention on Picard, Shinzon further damages the ''Enterprise''. Refusing to surrender, Picard uses his heavily damaged ship to ram the ''Scimitar'', causing moderate damage including disabling the ''Scimitar's'' disrupter banks and destroying the ''Scimitar's'' shuttlebay. Shinzon then initializes the ''Scimitar's'' thalaron weapon in a desperate attempt to take the ''Enterprise'' down with him. Picard boards the vessel alone and faces Shinzon. Unable to prevent the weapon's activation, Picard kills Shinzon by impaling him through the heart and abdomen with part of a metallic support strut. Unable to save himself and knowing he is about to die, Shinzon pulls the strut further into his body as he says his final words to Picard and dies---ironically, because Picard, the clone's source, had once been impaled through the heart, but had survived when he was given an artificial heart. Data arrives with a single-use personal transporter, using it to quickly beam the Captain back to the ''Enterprise'' before firing his phaser at the thalaron generator and destroying the ship at the cost of his life. While the severely damaged ''Enterprise'' is under repair in a space dock in Earth orbit, Picard bids farewell to newly promoted Captain Riker, who is off to command the USS ''Titan'', to begin a possible peace-negotiation mission with the Romulans. Picard then meets with android B-4, whereupon he discovers that Data had succeeded in copying the engrams of his neural net into B-4's positronic matrix not long before his death. Picard then walks down the ''Enterprise'' corridor, smiling with knowledge that one day Data will return. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Star Trek: Nemesis」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
