Star Trek: Generations Audience Reviews

Redwarmin This movie is the proof that the world is becoming a sick and dumb place
Grimossfer Clever and entertaining enough to recommend even to members of the 1%
Neive Bellamy Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.
Cheryl A clunky actioner with a handful of cool moments.
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.
Hitchcoc I agree that this is far from the best of the Star Trek movies, but it has an interesting premise, the acting is good, and it gives us a cinematic transition from one era to another. Once Einstein gave us the business of time warping and being able to slip into alternate universes and revisit previous places, even paralleling the the current characters, it left everything wide open. I don't know what the big deal is with Jean Luc Picard crying. He's not a robot. Kirk was really a pretty one dimensional character with very little emotional baggage. That's great. Not everyone is Kirk nor should they be. Ultimately, we have a group of very creative people putting together a threat to the universe, a puzzle that must be solved. Through that aforementioned fabric, two heroes emerge and solve things. I have to get a little political here. I am so tired of people who are so wrapped up in these things that they actually get hostile. It's a review of a movie. Get out of the house more.
Rainey Dawn This is another highly entertaining Star Trek film that brings together two captains of the Starship Enterprise face to face: Captain Kirk and Captain Picard. An El-Aurian scientist Dr. Tolian Soran is a madman and quickly becomes the nemesis of Captain Picard of the 24th century. What he seeks is the Nexus Ribbon and it's up to Captain Picard and crew to stop him but Picard needs the help of a man who's been dead around 80 years, that man is Captain Kirk. Note: The El-Aurian race are known for living a long time. A great film. I really enjoyed how they tied both generations together but my only wish is there was more interaction between both generations captains and with both crews. 9/10
trashgang Great start with some of the old crew visiting the Enterprise to go on some kind of one day trip until things go wrong and Kirk has to save the ship but sadly he dies. From there on we do meet the new crew and there are more aliens on board. No Vulcans anymore. But does it work out as it should. The effects used are great for the time being and do still stand time. The new crew I do have issues with them. Data isn't my cup of tea, annoying figure with stupid jokes. But just leave it toward the flick itself.I didn't like the story at all. Especially the last 30 minutes when the new Captain Picard goes back in time and do meet Captain Kirk. Both go into action to catch Soran, well played by Malcolm McDowell. To much of blah blah and the scene when Picard is at home with his family I really had the stop button on my fingertips. As long as the Klingons were in the flick it's okay but once the Bird Of Prey is destroyed it also destroys this flick. To be honest, the Star Trek franchise do has it flows and let this one be a mediocre entry.Gore 0/5 Nudity 0/5 Effects 3/5 Story 2/5 Comedy 0,5/5
