Star Trek: Nemesis
When I watchedStar Trek : Nemesisn 2002 , I really had no estimation I was see the nascence of a star in Tom Hardy . Directed by Stuart Baird from a screenplay by John Logan , Star Trek : Nemesiswas the last movie starring thecast ofStar Trek : The Next propagation . The dispirited grossing ofStar Trek ’s 13 theatrical characteristic films , Star Trek : Nemesiswas also a bomb with critic and consultation , although theblame for its unsuccessful person does n’t fall on the shoulders of Tom Hardy , who toy the main villain , Shinzon .
Shinzon was the malevolent clone of Captain Jean - Luc Picard ( Patrick Stewart ) inStar Trek : Nemesis . Seeking revenge on the Romulans who created and enslaved him , and on the United Federation of Planets , Shinzon wax a Byzantine plot to install himself as the Romulan Praetor before attacking the Federation . ButShinzon has special enmity for Picardand the crew of the USS Enterprise - E. Ultimately , Captain Picard vote down Shinzon and saved the galaxy , with his clone go in the wipeout stimulate by Shinzon ’s own Thelaron artillery .
Star Trek: Nemesis Was Tom Hardy’s First Major Movie Role
Playing Shinzon was Hardy’s big break
Tom Hardy had character inBlack Hawk DownandBand of Brothersin 2001 before he was cast as Shinzon , andStar Trek : Nemesiswas Hardy ’s openhanded break . When he was cast asCaptain Picard ’s evil clone , Hardy had the benefit of join the established and popularStar Trekmovie franchise and make for with Sir Patrick Stewart , John Logan , who wroteGladiator , Stuart Baird , who directedU.S. US Marshals Service , and Ron Perlman , who played Shinzon ’s Viceroy . Shinzon , the main villain ofStar Trek : Nemesis , was meant to bea display case role for Hardy .
Tom Hardy egress with his career unblemished by Star Trek : bane .
unluckily , Star Trek : Nemesiswas a disappointment that failed to find a wider audience or invoke to the coreStar Trekfanbase . Star Trek : Nemesisbombing ended theStar Trek : The Next Generationmovie franchise , and there were no moreStar Trekmovies for 7 years before J.J. Abrams rebootedStar Treksuccessfully with Chris Pine conduce a newfangled Starship Enterprise cast . However , I’m not surprised Tom Hardy emerged with his vocation unblemished byStar Trek : Nemesis .
Watching Star Trek: Nemesis, Hardy’s Star Potential Wasn’t Immediately Obvious
Star Trek: Nemesis wasn’t Tom Hardy’s best performance
The large performance to come and recognition that would await Tom Hardy were n’t immediately obvious fromStar Trek : bane . Since Shinzon was Picard ’s knockoff , Hardy ask to physically resemble Patrick Stewart ’s Enterprise Captain , which resulted inShinzon being baldand tire a prosthetic olfactory organ . Shinzon was meant to be as brilliant as Captain Picard and a formidable loss leader , yet Hardy ’s knockoff was ill - delimit and lack the intended menace . To me , Shinzon comes off as petulant and incompetentas the leader of the Remans crumpled on destroy the Federation . Star Trek : Nemesis’subplot where Shinzon psychically transgress Counselor Deanna Troi ( Marina Sirtis ) also did Tom Hardy no favors .
Captain Picard ’s Enterprise face a series of major conference villain in Star Trek : The Next multiplication ’s movies , but who ’s the baddest of them all ?
In his memoir , arrive at It So , Patrick Stewart calledTom Hardy " odd and solitary"on set , but heacknowledged Tom ’s act talent . Watching fearless perform as Shinzon , he does n’t come off as Picard ’s equal , although Tom does aptly hold his own in his scenes with Stewart . But Tom Hardy ’s volatility , volatility , and sharpness are bubble underneath the airfoil , albeit hamstrung by Shinzon needing to be a fractured mirror reflection of Captain Picard .
