Ain't It Cool News has the third review of Nemesis online. Below is a snippet, spoilers lie ahead!

First and foremost I will say that it's a PRETTY GOOD film. Not excellent or just "good" but pretty good.

Shinzon started out as a great villain. He honestly felt more three-dimensional that the previous TNG villains. But where the film failed, was at the end it seems like he was more of a "baddie-with-a-big-gun-and-I-ain't-affraid-to-use-it" type guy. I found it a little disappointing but not too distracting.

There were other moments in the movie I was looking forward to after reading the script such as the speech that Shinzon gives to the new Romulan Senate. You know, "The mighty Federation will fall before us" etc. Gone. Shinzon just sort of pops up out of nowhere and I found that a little odd. I was also looking forward to seeing the new First Officer. This too would have made the film feel more like it was "passing time" with a newer crew and all, but was again disappointed when it never turned up.

The good. Everything else about the movie friggin ROCKED THA HOUSE Y'ALL!! The production design was awesome! The part I thought would bug me the most, the buggy chase, didn't at all. Well, with one exception, the jump from the cliff to the Argo seems... well, poorly done FX wise. A nice p.o.v. shot from inside the buggy to landing in the Argo shuttle would have worked better.
