First Contact is by far the best TNG film. It's also the most cinematic and the only one that brings something new to the Star Trek movie franchise. But the tonal shifts between the A & B stories are too jarring, and harken back to its TV roots. And, unfortunately, the budget was too small for their ambitions.
The first time I viewed First Contact was after I had watched TNG 4 years ago. I had not watched Voy or ENT at that time. It's possible I had watched DS9 partially. Having watched DS9, Voy, and ENT now completely, I really felt like First Contact was a special kind of movie. These are my notes/ramblings after re-watching the film tonight. Cameos

Nov 22, 1996 · Written by. “Star Trek: First Contact” is one of the best of the eight “Star Trek” films: Certainly the best in its technical credits, and among the best in the ingenuity of its plot.

During the “Revisiting First Contact” panel celebrating 25 years since the release of the beloved TNG film, Jonathan Frakes spoke about the genesis of the story of First Contact, saying:
After Jonathan Frakes was asked how he got the job as director, he told the story of the most memorable Reuben sandwich in his life.
Before her audition for the role of the Borg Queen, Alice Krige had no real knowledge of what Star Trek was all about. It took doing the audition for her to find the character, and in doing so, she was convinced she had totally biffed the audition. Of course, she hadn’t.
Alice Krige – who absolutely slayed in her role as the Borg Queen – spoke about how she got the role and what it was like playing the iconic character. One amusing tidbit was her mention of around eight “Borg wranglers” that were needed during her scenes.
While Brent Spiner had high praise for the film’s director, script, and co-stars, there was one aspect of making the film that wasn’t to his liking.
