jacobjohntaylor1 This a great movie. It is better then the TV show. It is also better then the first 6 movies. It has a great story line. It also has great acting. Star Trek first contact is better. Star Trek insurrection is also better. Star Trek nemesis is also better.

LeonLouisRicci The "Star Trek" Franchise did Not have to Fuse the Original and the "Next Generation" On the Big Screen in the First Film from the New TV Series...but THEY DID! So Fans of both Incarnations of the Never Ending Saga of Gene Roddenberry's Creation Waited to See, and the Nervous, Anxious, and Nerdy Fans were Ultimately Mixed....from Disappointment to outright Rage (hardly surprising).Objectively and Viewed Outside the Trek "Bubble", it's Not a Bad Movie but Far from Great. There are Highlights that Entertain. Kirk and Picard's On Screen Meeting, Data's Emotion Chip, the Klingon Confrontation, and some Outstanding SFX.The Film is Extremely Corny in Spots and as a Whole it doesn't Mesh very Well, but Overall it is Certainly Worth a Watch for Hardcore Fans (in fact a must see considering the series transition) and Casual Observers can have some Fun with the Iconic Display.There would be Better "STNG" Films to come and there were Better "Star Trek" Movies before.It could Never Capture the Old Crew without the Presence of Spock, Bones, and Sulu and given what was here to Work With, it can be Considered Worthy.This was a Challenging Ploy that Didn't quite Come Together and could be Termed a "Misfire", and it is, but the Tricky Trek Transfer from One Generation to the Next is at Least Done with a Modicum of Honor and Respect.

zkonedog Much like the first Star Trek film, "Star Trek Generations" could have been great, but ultimately failed to create the high drama and emotional character development that fans of the series crave. The idea of Captains Kirk and Picard interacting in one movie seemed like box office dynamite, but did not live up to the billing.The basic plot of this film has the "Next Generation" Enterprise crew investigating a strange astral phenomena in which people can live out their greatest fantasies. When that phenomena falls into the wrong hands, the conflict of the movie is set.The movie fails to deliver in a few key areas: First, the introduction and ultimate fate of the returning James T. Kirk seem quite anticlimactic. In what should have been a monumental "passing of the torch" moment, the writers/producers instead chose to play down the "cannon" aspect in favor of the script at hand. Second, the "Next Generation" crew all seem a bit wooden in their performances, almost as if they were taking themselves too seriously on the big screen, when they should have just remained true to their silver-screen characters.A few scenes actually work quite while, however, saving this movie from complete oblivion. The opening of the movie, featuring a fish-out-of-water Kirk watching a new captain command the Enterprise, is classic, while Captain Jean-Luc Picard's "fantasy life" in the astral phenomena adds depth to his character. Also, the emotion-chip plot line involving Data was humorous (even though Data's ultimate decision on the chip doesn't come until later on in the Next Generation TV show).To conclude, "Star Trek Generations" is an average movie that is very uneven throughout. Some scenes with Kirk are great, others are anti-climatic. Some information regarding the astral phenomena is interesting, while at other times it is just confusing. If you are just watching the Star Trek movies, I would recommend this film in order to become accustomed to the Next Generation cast. If you already are a "Next Gen" fan, this movie can easily be skipped en route to the next installment in the movie series.

RealLiveClaude This should have been a good Captains' meeting, however, it was part of a "Next Generation" episode... and a too brief "Original Series" clip...However, as I enjoyed the image enhancement that the "TNG" group offered with this movie, I would have worked out the story. Paramount executives went a bit too fast to introduce Picard's crew into the big screen.Part of the Synopsis: 78 years after an event which took Captain Kirk's life, Captain Picard and his crew save a would-be scientist, which in fact is a madman who wants to enter a "Nexus" inside a deadly space ribbon. It is not his first experiment. He is backed up by an evil Klingon crew, headed by the Duras sisters, hungry for payback against the Enterprise.Though it was fun to see for once Data display emotions, thanks for Dr. Soong's microchip, the almost surrealistic meeting of Picard and Kirk deceives a bit: we would have loved to see both in a better setting than a back country landscape.I would not blame the actors here, but the storyline itself, a reminder of Star Trek V, which was too average: a madman looking for something apparently good, and the Enterprise crew must stop him.Sad that DeForest Kelley (health) and Leonard Nimoy (technicality) were absent for this movie.I would have renamed this movie: Star Trek Nexus. Given another year to release the movie, it would have been better...
