Summary: My First Star Trek Movie
Review: I rented this movie not to see Picard meet Kirk, but to see Lt. Commander Data with emotions! I'm a big Data fan, but I enjoyed everything else about the movie as well. Picard and Kirk must work together to stop some manic depressive lunatic from killing a few million people for his own selfish reasons. Woopie Goldberg has some great scenes as a wise and ancient being who must help Picard overcome his own demons. Brent Spiner is still the man, though, as he adeptly plays Data to a level never before seen in Star Trek. When he cries at the end after finding his beloved cat, I almost cried with him. Great movie all Star Trek TNG fans should see.

Summary: GENERATIONS a great space adventure...
Review: Star Trek: Generations is one of those films you have to watch more than once to really appreciate its impact. I remember seeing this in the theaters, and now on video it's even just as good. There are some things I wish could not have occured: the end of the Enterprise-D, and the passing of the character of Kirk. However, this is only a matter of passing the torch from one captain to the next. This space adventure involves the crew of the future Enterprise stopping a mad scientist, Dr. Soran, from using a weapon of unknown power to control a space phenomenon known as the Nexus. Picard goes into the Nexus and inevitably finds Captain James T. Kirk, and together the two attempt to stop Soran's plans. I think it was great to see Kirk and Picard finally meet, and the fight sequence taking place between Soran and Kirk & Picard is a nice touch. Data's laughter also provided some amusement. As I mentioned before, it was unfortunate that the Enterprise-D was a goner in this one, but the new Enterprise that followed in the next sequels (including the upcoming thrill "Star Trek: Nemesis") was pretty neat. Overall, there is a bit of action, and a bit of heart in this warm adventure that many of the Trek fans will undoubtedly love. I know I certainly did. It was also an honorable but sad farewell to one of Star Trek's most beloved characters...Captain Kirk.

Summary: Trek fans only...
Review: As much as this movie tries to reach out to an audience beyond Trekkies, it is sad that it is a lost cause. Only Trekkies could appreciate the end of Captain Kirk's legacy, the fate of the Enterprise-D, or Data's new experience with emotions. But that's not to say it's a bad movie. The story is pretty good science-fiction and not-bad Star Trek. A mad scientist, Dr. Soran, is obsessed with getting inside an alternate reality known as the Nexus, and he will stop at nothing in trying to get there. He even devises a (very unbelievable) way of destroying stars to change the course of the rift. The crew of the Enterprise-D chases after Soran in an attempt to stop him from destroying another star. They fail, and Picard is swept into the Nexus. But he enlists the help of Captain Kirk, who got caught in the Nexus 80 years earlier. The meeting of Kirk and Picard is a great moment in Trek history and the two work together to stop Soran. A few scenes with Data discovering emotions are humorous. There is a very good scene between Geordi and Soran. Worf is placed in the far background, though he is promoted at the beginning of the film. Dr. Crusher and Troi are simply there to look nice, which they do well, and Riker is there to bark orders. A film with a cast this big is bound to run into problems in establishing its characters, and this movie has tons of them. But some of the action is exciting and it is great seeing the two best captains on "Star Trek" finally meeting and working together. Malcolm McDowell is over-the-top evil as Soran, but he's a very forgettable character. "Star Trek: Generations" is a fun treat for any Trekkie, but the casual viewer may wish to buy something else.

Summary: Fun moments but a little too dark overall
Review: This one is worth seeing for the ceremony as Worf recieves his promotion and to see the snafus as Kirk, Scott and Chekov try desperately to command a news crew as all heck breaks loose (as usual) during a test cruise of a new Enterprise in the past. Alas the rest of the film is a bit too dark and grim. It aches and lacks some of the ability to laugh at itself that set apart the best of its predecessors (namely "Search for Spock" and "Voyage Home". It felt too much like an overlong STNG episode. And even then "Relics" was better. Oh well, guess I just have a softer spot for Scott than Kirk!

Summary: A great transition!
Review: Star Trek Generations is simply a great transition movie, handing the torch from Captain Kirk and crew to Captain Picard and crew. While not living up completely to what we the fans wanted, that doesn't really matter. That is the case in most of the movies. Especially the odd numbered ones for some strange cosmic reason. We all knew the Galaxy Class Enterprise 1701-D had to go. It was simply not made for the silver screen. I was personally hoping that more of the original series crew could've made it for the opening sequence. The scenes between Kirk and Picard were very well done. If I remember correctly, this was also the first time that we'd heard Captain Sulu's first name. Patrick Stewart once again showed the depth of his acting abilities with the death of his character's brother and nephew. It's a little disturbing to see Captain Picard basically recieve a beating from Soren. After watching Kirk fight many a people and win over the years. Malcolm McDowell, Soren played a very good, tortured villain. And yes, Captain Kirk said in Star Trek V The Final Frontier that he always knew he'd die alone. And that was the case, he was alone in the sense the Spock and McCoy weren't there. The way Kirk died did seem a little melodramatic for the character. Overall though, a very good transition movie. I would suggest that if you'd like a few more of the details, I believe you can still get a copy of the book. It does bring to light some of the things that were glossed over on the screen.

Summary: 'Generations' is one of the best of the Star Trek Series!
Review: Scrolling down this page I cant understand why any of these people hate Star Trek-Generations so much. First of all let me state that I am not a 'Trekkie'. I love Star Trek and enjoy all of the movies in the series, but as far as quality goes I may have different opinions when compared to die hard Trek fans. Those qualities I look for in not only Star Trek films, but all movies, are 1.) excellent story, 2.) tremendous acting, 3.) superb directon, 4.) and last but not least great special effects and production design. I have to say that Star Trek-Generations succeeded in satisfying most of these qualities for me, if not all of them. It has a great story. We begin the story some odd years before the Next Generation period. Kirk, Scotty and Chekov have been invited for a Federation starship christening. The ship comes across and attempts to rescue another ship caught in the Nexus, a mysterious ring floating around in space. They manage to beam aboard the last remnants of the crew from the caught ship, of which Dr. Soren (played by Malcolm Mcdowell) and Guinan (Whoopi Goldberg) are members. This little tad bit is interesting as it shows some origin of Guinan. Something goes wrong in a part of the federation ship, and Kirk goes alone to fix it. This part of the ship gets destroyed with Kirk in it, and while it was believed he was killed, he actually fell through and was caught in the Nexus. Now fast forward to the future to the Next Generation period. We now have Dr. Soren so obsessed with getting back into the Nexus, he is destroying entire star systems in order to divert the Nexus' course through space. In order to achieve the last steps in his goal he has enlisted the help of a renegade Klingon crew led by two Klingon women (which is interesting). The Enterprise crew has come across the Klingon crew in space and have initiated some sort of talks. Its actually been awhile since I've seen this and my memories are hazy about these parts. As some side plot and to buy time leading up to the dramatic conclusion Data inserts his long-feared memory chip into his system. It doesn't kill him, but we watch how Data adjusts to his new-found emotions, as well as have more than a few laughs. Eventually the Klingon crew attacks and destroys the Enterprise, and at the same time Picard beams to the planet surface below to face Soren and his diabolical plot that will kill billions of people in the star system. The first time around Dr. Soren achieves his goal and the Nexus swings by and not only grabs him but also Picard. Once inside the Nexus we have a few tear jerkers. The Nexus is seen has being a virtual fantasy land where anyone can have what ever they wish. Picard wished to see his nephew and find a wife and family of the future, and that's what he got. After some time he realizes that its all just an illusion and focuses back on getting out and stopping Soren. He runs into Guinan's "Nexus-Self", who explains to him that the Nexus can send him to any time of place he wishes; she also explains that there's another man here just like Picard that could help. And that man is Captain T. Kirk. As you guessed he convinces Kirk to come back with him and together they stop Soren, but in the progress resulting in Kirks ultimate death. This is one of my favorite Star trek motion pictures; probably ranking at number three or four on my list. The first problem people seem to have is why Scotty and Chekov at the beginning and not Spock 'Bones' and the rest of the classic crew? Well, the answer is simple. The movie is about two captains, Picard and Kirk. Leonard Nimoy and Deforest Kelly were just too big of names to give such a short appearance along side Shatner in the opening of the movie. Then if they would have been there and nowhere else, instead of people complaining that they weren't in the movie at all they would instead be complaining about the short part they had. But there might have been some off-camera debates attached to this matter. Another complaint I read from one of the reviewers here was that the Enterprise D was able to be destroyed too easily. Well, before the attack the Klingon renegades managed to capture Geordi and bug his visor. After turning him back over they were thus able to gain the operaton code to the Enterprise's shields, by placing some sort of hidden camera in Geordi's visor. Thus they were able to launch a sneak attack nearly completely obliterating the Enterprise in the first few hits. Don't you think you would go down quite easily after taking an unexpecting hit? Perhaps the only complaint I have is that the footage of the Klingon ship exploding looks way to similar to the Klingon ship exploding in Star Trek VI. Some people think this movie is boring, and a not-too-good of a way to kill off Shatner. I on the other hand think the movie is funny, exciting, and somewhat emotional. And I think the way in which Kirk dies was the perfect way to do it. After all the greatest conquerors in the world have always gone down in the strangest manner. What did you want, a "Freddy's Dead" death? I've also heard some people say that "First Contact" was better than this one. Personally, I didn't like First Contact at all, and especially loathed for the Borg to have such human-like leader. Again, I think 'Generations' is a very good movie, but you judge at your own risk.

Summary: Not Bad At All, But Inconsistent
Review: Generations was the first film with The Next Generation cast, so the movie was appropriately named. Kirk gets a big role in this movie to help pass the torch to the next crew and it comes off pretty well I think. The movie is kind of inconsistent though. For one thing, if Picard could leave The Nexus and go to any time or place, why wouldn't he just go back to when Soren was still a guest on the Enterprise and throw him in the brig before he can cause all these problems? Would anybody honestly do what Picard did and go back to such a critical moment in the hopes of stopping Soren just in time? I think not. Also, the bridge lighting is darker, there are additional stations on the bridge for some reason, Picard's nephew is a different kid, Kirk dies alone like he claimed he never would, and some of the crew are wearing the DS9/Voyager uniforms for some reason. Why? I don't know why. This movie overall was pretty enjoyable, but I've got to wonder why the writers allowed it to be so inconsistent. It could have been so much better, and I think that is the reason why most Trek fans file this under the odd-numbered cursed films.

Summary: Tragic, truly the black sheep of Star Trek
Review: This movie is horrible. I've seen every episode of all the series, and own the movie collection on DVD, and I have to say this is the worst thing I've seen. First off, the biggest problem is Kirk. After everything he's survived, after saving earth so many times, he dies by falling forty feet. Not too mention the storyline has pathetically cheesy, and everything was exactly like the tv show. The Enterprise D did need to be gotten rid of, due to it didn't translate well onto the big screen. But the way they destroyed her was sad. They also screwed around too much with data's emotion chip. The idea of data using his tricorder as a puppet is outragous. True trekkies should watch, but doubters and casual watchers skip on to First Contact.

Summary: Fails To Interest.
Review: This movie fails to interest. The movie was not horrible but the movie took to long to get to certain interesting parts. The Nexus was interesting but they didn't involve that enough and the end of the movie was interesting but you have to go through most of the movie to get to that part and by that time your either bored or you just shut the movie off and miss the best part of the movie. I have a split decision on this one so I do recommend this movie Slightly.
