I was 10 when this originally came out, didn’t get to see it in the theater, but I did see it a year or maybe 2 later. I loved the action, love the new ship and seeing the crew.
Fast-forward to now, first time I’ve rewatched in several years. First thing I noticed was the soundtrack really knocked it out of the park, and one can really pickup on the bonds & fellowship the crew developed from TNG & Generations. Going from order of TNG -> Generations -> First Contact really made me see Jean-Luc’s character in a different light, the internal turmoil over the Borg. Some of the things that I felt differently about now as an adult versus as a child when I saw it originally, was the Dixon Hill holograph deck made me smile thinking of how our dear captain would use that series to relax, was now the place where he felt he was in control enough to stop some Borg. As a big fan of present day space achievements, when he showed Earth from the first time out of the window, its so easy to imagine how that could’ve felt to be in Lily’s shoes.
This is one of my favorites, seeing the dream team in their peak performance and facing the Federations most true opponent that cannot be reasoned with all while entangling concepts that we can still feel today.
