Star Trek: Generations

Star Trek: Generations

This movie fell into the Star Trek line of odd numbered movies being bad. Noticing they couldn't even get the holodeck rules straight in the first scene was not a good start. Then the orange lighting, Data's hokey behavior and Picard being a complete sissy sealed its fate. To potential viewers: skip it and go see "First Contact". To people who have already seen it: my sympathies.

This movie is certainly not bad, but far from the quality of the good Star Trek movies (II-IV and VI). It has too many too boring passages (especially in the Nexus, oh my, those sequences seem to last forever). Kirks dying words seem to be out of character. And the fate of the Enterprise seemed more than pointless to me. On the other hand, there are some good points, like Data's humor. He has the best lines of the movie. And then my favorite quote by Dr. Soran: "Time is a fire in which we burn". Wow, this is extremely well said. All in all, an average Science Fiction film.

I liked this movie. I can't understand why so many people dislike it. Wonderful music, an eye-popping saucer crash, and a great climax when Captain Kirk kicks ass one final time. Slightly better than INSURRECTION.

In my personal opinion, this is my favorite Star Trek movie with the Next Generation cast. But, I like First Contact more. When I was a kid, I've only seen parts of it, until 2007. I like the movie as a kid, and still enjoyed it to this day.

This in my opinion is one of,if not the best Star Trek movie ever made. **Spoiler Alert** This is the film that sees captain Kirk and Jon Luc Picard meet in a thrilling storyline that incorpirates moments like the destruction of the Enterprise(which is superbly shot),Data being given his new emotion chip(which has some very funny moments) and ultimately the meeting up of the captains which leads to the death of Kirk. Ironically this is the best display of acting from William Shatner that we see in any of the Star Trek film. Another reason i love this movie it that it heralds the start of a new era with the next generation crew and the end of the old franchise which , for me went on far to long. A great action movie that you cannot fail to enjoy. 8 out of 10.

I love this movie mainly because Its Kirk and Picard the two best st captains who ever lived. therefore it is the best st movie of all time. I was surprised of how high the quality of this movie was. i'm sure allot of people think of it as two old geezers fooling around in a crappy license movie but this was quite the contrary. i almost lost track of time, i was so absorbed in how amazing the movie was. It just wasn't the fact that the two of them were together at last. The acting of Bret spinner was incredible as well. For those of you who haven't seen it yet you are in for a treat(i don't want to oversell but you are going to love this film!)

A fair entry into the series with a simple plot but good surprises. The pace could have been better, specially in the 3rd act. It's still a very enjoyable experience with a lot of good actors.

Star Trek: Generations is far from horrible, but far from spectacular. It's just like every time a movie is made from a television show. They made everything flashier, prettier, etc., at the cost of giving us a sub-standard plot. I think the biggest disappointment came when Captain Kirk died without even seeing the Enterprise_D. Sure, that would have been predictable, that he would see it, but quite frankly I think that's what the fans would have liked. They would have loved to see Kirk on the bridge of the Enterprise-D. Or at least that's my opinion. A friend of mine commented to me once that Generations should have been longer, and a two-parter, with the 'To be continued...' coming after the Enterprise-D was supposedly destroyed after hitting the planet. If you ask me, that wouldn't have been a bad idea.

I was looking forward to watching this film because I liked the idea of seeing Kirk and Picard in the same movie. But I have to say that this is probably my least favorite of the (first seven) Star Trek movies I've seen so far. The story seemed a bit all over the place with too many characters but no one really standing out. The meeting of the captains also felt like a letdown because it was over too soon. I like The Next Generation series a lot but this film didn't feel as good - nor as good as the first movies with the original cast. So it's a bit "leftovers of both worlds". Star Trek fans can safely watch it but I wouldn't recommend it to a newcomer.
