The Walking Turnover...
...is gone
Here's number 5 on the Sci-Fi Movies List:
#5--Star Trek: First Contact (1996)
If you haven't figured it out, I love a time-travel story. In this one, the Next Generation-Enterprise Crew (with the brand new Enterprise-E) battles the Borg in the Terran Solar system, only to have to pursue them backwards through time. The Borg are trying to prevent the first human-built warp-powered vessel from taking off in the 2063 AD. This would prevent the historical event of First Contact (which is explained very neatly at the end of the movie) and the formation of the Federation, thus allowing the Borg to conquer the Alpha Quadrant and the rest of the galaxy. Parallel stories with part of the crew trying to make sure the Warp Flight happens and the other part trying to defend the Enterprise from the Borg make this movie work. Patrick Stewart is excellent here as is James Cromwell as Zephram Cochrane, human inventor of Warp Drive. Look out for Magic Carpet Ride and a surprise at the end.
Memorable Quote:
Dr. Zefram Cochrane: A group of cybernetic creatures from the future have traveled back through time to enslave the human race... and you're here to stop them?
Cmdr. William Riker: That's right.
Dr. Zefram Cochrane: Hot damn! You're heroic.
