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.

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.
