Glad we're all in agreement. :)

What is a bit of a bummer is that the movie had lots of potential.  There was resolution for the Duras conflict, resolution for the Lore conflict (in Data finally using the emotion chip), Kirk and Picard getting together like everyone wanted, the Enterprise-B, the death of the Enterprise-D, nice special effects, and in my opinion some good humor.  But sadly, the nexus gimmick and the otherwise rather thin plot failed to carry the story sufficiently.

Oh, and something that has always bugged me: what on earth happened during Geordi's interrogation?  I mean, why is it that really the only bit we see shows Soren questioning Geordi about trilithium, when clearly he knows little about it and Soren himself is the most knowledgeable fellow on the subject around?  What was he trying to gain?  My understanding is that there was some lovely torture to go along with this, but since most of it was cut, the whole scene serves literally absolutely no purpose in the end.
