how much it moved you
Two separate readings, not parts of the score β the score says how much of it held you, these say what kind of watch it was.
Nobody has rated this on FlickFeel yet. This is public discussion of this title, read into a curve. It is not a rating and it never becomes one.
Read from 28 comments (22 from Metacritic, 6 from TMDB reviews) β 7 of them described how it moves.
Thin evidence β the shape below rests on 7 comments. The shaded band is how wide the uncertainty actually is, and it is drawn to scale.
Not enough people said when to name this shape. The line is what the evidence draws, not a finding.

βFrom the moment Picard feels the Borg to the death of the Cenobite like Borg Queen (played by Alice Krige) herself it is a none stop amusement park ride featuring everything you could possibly want from a second Borg invasion.β

Published reviews, not felt experience β a different question from the one above, and never mixed into the FlickFeel score.
βBlessed with clever plot devices and a villainous horde that makes the once-dread Klingons seem like a race of Barneys, First Contact does everything you'd want a "Star Trek" film to do, and it does it with cheerfulness and style.β
Kenneth Turan, Los Angeles Times Β· 90
βHaving earned his stripes by directing a few TV episodes, Frakes makes an auspicious debut as a feature filmmaker, sustaining excitement and maintaining clarity as he dashes through a two-track storyline.β
Joe Leydon, Variety Β· 90
βCertainly the best in its technical credits, and among the best in the ingenuity of its plot.β
Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times Β· 88
βBy the time Worf (Michael Dorn), knocking off a slimy attacker, growls a Schwarzeneggerish ''Assimilate this!'' we've already done so, with pleasure.β
Lisa Schwarzbaum, Entertainment Weekly Β· 83
βFirst Contact, written by Ric Berman, Brannon Braga and Ronald D. Moore, pulsates with great imagination, amusing characters and the fundamental optimism handed down by "Star Trek" founder Gene Roddenberry.β

Grouped by where it was written, because a considered review and a reaction typed an hour after the credits are different things. Every quote links to its source.

βReally solid and suspense-filled Star Trek film. Seen this one once before and still holds up along with the visual effects which were decent for its time. This is also the first complete TNG feature and unlike Generations, did feel like a movie rather than two-part episode. 4.0/5β

βInteresting how this film divides opinion like no other from this franchise. It is my least favourite (except perhaps "The Final Frontier") as it does attempt to impose a morality that is well beyond the scope of the talent involved - both on screen and at the typewriter. The effects are certainly special, but even with the quirky contribution of James Cromwell I'm struggling to think of this as anything better than a longer episode of "Next Generation" with all of it's pseudo-intellectual idealβ
