Star Trek: Nemesis brought together the cast of Star Trek: The Next Generation for their fourth and final big-screen adventure. Directed by Stuart Baird, and written by the Academy Award-nominated John Logan, Star Trek: Nemesis premiered in December 2002. Unfortunately, Star Trek: Nemesis ranks as the lowest-grossing Star Trek movie, and it was a bomb with critics and audiences that resulted in the end of the Star Trek: The Next Generation movie franchise.
