Summary: A Trek too far
Review: It always seems in these Berman-era Trek's,two things seem to always draw viewers.Time Travel & The Classic series.The latter was a plot point in First Contact,but Generations melded the classic crew and the Next Generation.The historical meeting of Captains Kirk & Picard is what Trekkers long for.The result is a convuluted extended TV episode,a very irksome Data,an impressive yet unnessesary destruction of Enterprise D ,and a very shoddy death of our beloved Capt Kirk.At first I liked it ,but thought it could've been better(Hey it's a start).As time went on it hasn't worn well,feeling more & more like it was made to manipulate fan expectation.No Berman era film has yet captured the big screen experience like the classic Trek films.Even bringing the Classic cast couldn't save Generations from its own mediocrity.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Except for the Incontinuities
Review: It's a good thing there are people such as myself to be so picayune. There are plenty of incontinuities. However, the story is great. It was a clever and almost devious way to have Kirk and Piccard in the same movie. The space battle was far better than in ST VI. All in all, the movie advanced the characters of The Next Generation for the future movies, but also managed to tell a good story. However, this is NOT the place to start your own collection of Trek Videos.

Rating: 5 stars

Summary: The Trek Films run out of Gas.
Review: Actually I was so unimpressed with this movie when it was in theaters. It's weak plot (Madman wants to kill millions so that he can jump into heaven) yeah I'm sure there was a point to that, but it's lost on me. Generations relies more on the special effects and less on the plot, a trademark of the Next Generation series I'm afraid, and considering how bad the Trek films have been since then, it can all be traced to this dismal movie.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Another Amazing Trek Adventure
Review: Generations combine the original and the next generation series for one last battle with James Kirk. And finnaly we get to see the Enterprise-B. Really fooled people when he "died" in the beginning of the film. Good Story, great soundtrack, which is missing some cues from the film. But the rest is amazing.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: most underrated trek movie
Review: this movie is a lot better than people make it out to be. i enjoyed every minute of it. great special effects, great acting, and a great storyline make this movie extremely rewatchable. dont listen to anybody when they say it has many plot holes. if they would turn the volume up on their tv they might realize that it has a very entertaining and excellent story. watch this movie it is in my opinion one of the best of the series.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Didn't really need to bring in older cast
Review: I think the attempt to bring in TOS cast made the movie a little less interesting. Although the storyline and the overall movie were excellent, I would have enjoyed a simple, straightforward, episode like First Contact is.

Still, it a great one to own. Especially on DVD.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Very Good Sound and special effects
Review: Paramount does the best job of re-mixing the sound on their DVDs. I love the intro and the 1st Captain Kirk death scene. One of my all time favorites.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: My "Generations" Review
Review: The film could have (and should have) been better. Especially since it was written by Ron Moore and Brannon Bragga who wrote the far-superior follow-up "First Contact" 2 years later.

The films good points: excellent special effects, fine acting, and an engaging musical score (especially for Dennis McCarthy, a television composer). I especially enjoyed seeing the Enterprise crashing into the planet's surface-something I have always wanted to see in a "Star Trek" film (I was also pleased to see that cruise ship trashed). I also enjoyed Picard's speech at the end concering our own mortality.

The negative points: as was the case with "The Next Generation" TV show (and now with "Voyager" and "Insurrection") this film utilized a great deal of techno-babble. The subplot involving Data's emotion chip was pointless but I was strongly amused with his profane reaction to the Enterprise being in danger.

Regarding Kirk, I can't help but feel as if the film would have been more dramatic if Kirk's idealized life in the Nexus had involved a life with his son David whom he never really knew until shortly before his untimely death in "ST3". Imagine Picard trying to pull Kirk away from that.

I was also disappointed with the fact that Kirk didn't interact with other "Next Generation" members other than Picard. Finally Kirk's death (no surprise-everyone knew about it long before the scene was even filmed) just wasn't dramatic enough. Despite all of the films flaws, the film was enjoyable-heck, it was still better than "Final Frontier" and "Motion Picture".

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Paramount,what about some extras!
Review: This DVD hasn't even got the trailer of the film! A disgracefully poor DVD effort by Paramount.
