When Star Trek: Nemesis came out of Stuart Bair in 2002, it was considered a gloomy sign of the franchise's future. "Nemesis" was the fourth film to give up "Star Trek: The Next Generation", and was advertised as the last. What was supposed to feel like a big finale was instead of a dark, boring, sad action film about Captain Picard (Patrick Stewart) fighting his clone (Tom Hardy) over the fate of the Romulan Empire. There was also a subordination of the data (Brent Spinner) who found an unknown brother on Android, allowing him to give two shows. This is the film that shows Argo, Picard's convertibleIn what can be one of the stupidest scenes in Star Trek history.

"Nemesis" was circularly rejected by fansEarning just $ 67.3 million on a $ 60 million budget. It is the lowest gross "Star Trek" film, even when it is not adapted to inflation. The post-11/11 audience seems to have not been interested in a franchise dedicated to research and peace (and that the trays were very, very tired). The failure of "Nestsis", paired with the low rating of "Star Trek: Enterprise" (2001 to 2005), seemed to have done forever with "Star Trek".

Nemesis wrote Hollywood veteran Johnon Logan, with a story, a storm of Logan, Brent Spinner and long -term head "Star Trek" Honcho Rick Berman. Logan has already enjoyed a lucrative career in Hollywood, writing pictures of prestige, such as Ridley Scott's "Gladiator" and "Every Week Given", as well as the films of Slocki Monster, such as "bats" and "The Time Machine". "Star Trek" was his first franchise image. Logan will continue to write many, very important studio films, eventually earning him three Oscar nominations (for Gladiator, Aviator and Hugo). In 2017 "Alien: The covenant", like "Nemesis", was not well accepted.

"Alien: Testament" was also controversial When released, it seems to finish its franchise to the end (at least temporarily). "Covenant" serves as a direct monitoring of the events of Ridley Scott's film "Prometheus" in 2012, "Prometheus", the foretolder of his 1979 film "Alien". Michael Fassbender returned as untrustworthy Android David, after settling on a distant planet where he conducted bizarre genetic experiments in his huge free time. Using the DNA of incredibly ancient types of engineers, as well as a complete biological glop that forces the eerie life to grow in the host bodies, David was trying to construct what he thought was the most effective, most beautiful animal.

David has a chance to try out his artificially constructed life forms of a human ship passing nearby to examine the planet's habitat. David's spores infect some of the visitors, and the creatures begin to spit on their bodies. The creatures at the beginning of the film are slightly different from the creatures in "Prometheus" and "Alien", but by the end of the film, a complete foreign xenomorph appears. David, clearly self-geared, becomes Voltaire, another Android, played by Michael Fassbender.

The reviews were mixed (the "covenant" has an approval of 65% of rotten tomatoes based on 408 examinations), and many "foreign" fans still settled on their negative feelings towards Prometheus. The film was a modest success-$ 240 million with a $ 97 million budget-but it wasn't a big enough hit to inspire urgent monitoring. It would not be until Disney bought the 20th century Fox that another "foreign" movie would be produced, "Alien: Romul", which was released in 2024. TV series "Alien: Country" on FX.

And to think Johnon Logan Co-wrote both "Testament" and "Nemesis". Perhaps high -profile franchises are not his bag. Another coincidence? Both "Star Trek: Nemesis" and "Alien: Covenant" have 6.4 IMDB users rating. It's not important, but it's fun.
