Summary: Not at the top or at the bottom
Review: Let's just say that there has been better. I've been a big fan of Star Trek for a long time and I can't honestly say that this was a great way to stage the TOS to TNG transition in the film genre... it's not bad but there are plot problems throughout... A good movie for the die-hard fan but not something for those first wandering into the series. Trekkies will enjoy it, but that's about it.

Summary: Worst Trek Yet. . .
Review: Never have I seen a more pointlessly depressing movie. What made it worse was that I was looking forward to this one. I got so sick of seeing Picard running around crying, much less Kirk getting killed off. Its a wonder that they ever pulled off a science fiction masterpiece like First Contact.

Summary: This Movie We Have Seen...
Review: We love this film! Only II and IX are better! Shoot, I just spit on the screen. It has a compelling plot and great acting (Shatner can Act!). Great FX!

Summary: A Fair Star Trek movie.
Review: Who came up with the idea of having Kirk die twice? It's ridiculous. Kirk is awesome and doesn't deserve to die. He's a whole lot better than Picard. Come on, Kirk needs to be in every Star Trek movie. This was the only flaw in the plot. Malcolm McDowell is a great actor and he did a good job in the movie, but you just can't beat Kirk. He started the whole Star Trek thing. And now, here comes Picard? I liked Picard in the TV series and I liked the fact he and Kirk worked together in the movie, but the first six Star Trek movies have been all about Kirk. Where's the love, man?

Summary: A Poor Excuse for a DVD
Review: Generations is a pretty poorly done DVD - Like all the other reviews state, there are no trailers, no reviews, no cut clips, director's cut, or interviews. I can see why they didn't include any extras on the DVD since the movie was already poorly done in the first place.Star Trek: The Next Generation's first foray into the movie world was a disorganized, poorly scripted movie which obviously was a scrappy montage of too many different ideas into one movie. In short, the viewer can tell that the directors and producers had disproportinately different ideas for this movie and they couldn't compromise - that's why we get this mess of a movie. Generations obviously was way for all these ideas to come together incoherently. (i.e. Kirk meets Picard, Enterprise being thrown around, Data's emotion chip etc, The Duras Sisters) Another reason the movie didn't work is that they tried ideas that fans and non-fans were not used to. The Duras sisters and the Romulans came out of nowhere; Picard was never this emotional in any part of ST:TNG history, and even if he was affected by emotion, he handled it a lot better on the TV episodes than this movie. Picard getting emotional over his family also came out of nowhere since there was never any continuity or support from the beginning of the movie or that episodes that even justifies that Picard actually cared about them. A lot of the movie is fustrating for many Trek viewers since the crew made a lot of dumb mistakes that don't correlate to their personalities or typical behaviors. In short, a really poor excuse for a movie that destroy's seven year's worth of ST:TNG base of character development, relationships, and logic - the bad concepts definetly outweigh anything good about this movie.

Summary: Disappointed!
Review: I'm a liitle disappointed with Paramount with their release of the Star Trek films on DVD. This one has been the worst so far, with 6 more on the way. They tried to use a light filter to brighten up the movie, problem is that they left it on during the whole thing. In the scene right before "Stellar Cartography", where the Enterprise does a fly-by, you can actually see a box around the Enterprise. This a problem only seen in Star Wars movies...before the Special Editions. My second complaint is that they chintz on the extras. No interviews, no outtakes, no multiple camera views, no NOTHING! Let's send a message to Paramount that we WANT THE EXTRAS!

Summary: Excellent transition for TOS viewers to TNG movie era.
Review: The idea of a gradual transition from The Original Series to The Next Generation is a good one since the first 6 movies and 20 or so years of Star Trek were TOS. My favorite non-regular character was Dr. Tolian Sorren. He is the guy who doesn't really want to hurt people to hurt people, but has been affected so that he will do anything, including destroying a heavily inhabited planet, to get what he wants... This movie also is the first time James T. Kirk comes back from "death." As corny as it sounds, the storyline actually works brilliantly.

Summary: Why?
Review: Why indeed. Being the huge Trekkie I am, I still wonder why they had to kill Kirk. I know that he probably wouldn't be in any more movies, but still, you don't have to kill him. Also, this movie is boring, boring, and boring. It's like an extended episode. Not in my list of the best Trek adventures. Stick with the first 6 movies instead

Summary: Better than Insurrection
Review: Having just seen "Insurrection", I enjoyed this dvd much more. Better flow, and more action. I wish they put the movie trailers on this DVD like they did on "First Contact". I wish they would also put a Full Screen option on the Star Trek DVDs. The DVD format really brings out the clarity, sound and special effects of this film. PS: I like the uniforms in this movie far greater than the newer ones, if anyone cares.
