Regarded by most as the best of the TNG films, First Contact stands the test of time fairly well. It's got a lot of energy and a quick pace, combined with some fresh ideas. We are fair to point out the movie's strengths and appreciate it for what it achieved and not for what it lacked. Still, we do mull over its flaws as well. Sync Point - The blac…
