It was pretty disappointing to get near the end of this film only to hear an expletive which immediately caused this DVD to go from receiving the Dove Seal to NOT receiving the Dove Seal. This is a near-miss and it is always disappointing when a film comes oh-so-close and yet crosses our level of acceptability in one content area, in this case the language category. The expletive was a “J” which offends many people of faith.

The story itself was one of the better “Star Trek” stories, as the plot revolves around the interesting alien enemy the Borg. This story included time travel, sacrifice, and carefully examining one’s motives as Capt. Jean-Luc Picard must determine if he is going all-out to defeat the Borg because of what they have done, or more specifically if it is because of what they have personally done to “him” in the past. It is unfortunate that, with about twenty minutes to go, the filmmakers included the strong language which prevents us from awarding our Dove Seal to this movie as a family-friendly film.
