Star Trek Nemesis: rather enjoyable! Cloning issues addressed

I recently saw a rather enjoyable Star Trek: Nemesis and I think it's probably worth your seeing, if you like that sort of entertainment. While perhaps not the best, it's fun and intriguing at times.

I would like to add, though, that their apparent rivalry with George Lucas hinders the film somewhat. There were at least three scenes where the special effects were "not that special". I guess that's what one gets when one uses "Digital Domain" of Venice, Ca. instead of Industrial Light & Magic. I've never heard of the former, and I don't anticipate that I will in the future either.

Meanwhile, I like how they touched upon the ideas of cloning and replacement technologies. These issues are becoming increasingly timely. An Italian doctor of semi-reliable credibility already claims that a human clone will be born next month. Again, though, his credibility has been heavily scrutinized before.
