What critics compared Star Trek: Nemesis to
The script is by David Franzoni, who wrote an arguably better draft of the Gladiator script than cowriter John Logan, who took the bows but then went on to the stilted Last Samurai and downright daft Star Trek: Nemesis.
Star Trek: Nemesis, the worst Trek film performance at the box office, still moved around 1.3 million tickets opening day, far more than “Day of the Doctor.”
Logan is the author of such leaden, boring movies as Gladiator , The Time Machine , Star Trek: Nemesis , Sinbad: Legend of the Seven Seas and The Last Samurai .
Nevertheless it’s the story that maketh the dysfunctional family movie and here screenwriter John Logan, finally atoning for his near franchise decimating Star Trek: Nemesis screenplay, has fashioned a funny and joyful comedy Western, with a fine retinue of stock characters.
