Certainly the best in its technical credits, and among the best in the ingenuity of its plot.

First time director Jonathan Frakes (who also plays Riker, the Enterprise's second-in-command) injects some badly-needed energy and inventiveness into a series that, prior to this effort, was sinking under its own weight and boldly going nowhere.

The fine quality of the new film is good news for anyone disappointed by Star Trek Generations, which got the new Star Trek feature film series off to a shaky start two years ago.
