6 Star Trek Films Actors Hated Filming

6. Star Trek Nemesis - Marina Sirtis

Whenever Star Trek: Nemesis rears its head, its always important to remember some of the good about it. It looks fantastic, the action scenes are wonderful and Guinan gets a cameo. Having said that, it was not a pleasant experience for Marina Sirtis.

At Destination Star Trek in 2014, Sirtis was on the panel with other Next Generation stars and inevitably, the topic of Nemesis came up. While Michael Dorn attempted to answer in a diplomatic way, merely saying that the shoot had been difficult, she popped in with:

"Oh come on say it! The director was an idiot!"

Sirtis blamed director Stuart Baird for not truly understanding The Next Generation, having made the decision not to watch any episodes in advance. He also chose not to consult with Jonathan Frakes, who had directed the previous two films, so that he could bring his own stamp to it. Rick Berman says that there was roughly 50 minutes of character footage chopped from the film, which Baird did to devote more time to the Enterprise-E's battle with the Scimitar.

This choice effectively relegated Troi to a supporting character, though there was still time to include an assault scene that is grossly out of context with the rest of the movie.
