    Editorial Reviews:

    Amazon.com
    There were only two ways for "classic Trek" cast members to appear in a movie with the cast of Star Trek: The Next Generation: either Capt. Kirk and his contemporaries would have to be very, very old, or there would be some time travel involved in the plot. Since geriatric heroes aren't very exciting (despite a welcomed cameo appearance by the aged Dr. McCoy), Star Trek: Generations unites Capt. Kirk (William Shatner) and Capt. Jean-Luc Picard (Patrick Stewart) in a time-jumping race to stop a madman's quest for heavenly contentment. When a mysterious energy coil called the Nexus nearly destroys the newly christened U.S.S. Enterprise-B, the just-retired Capt. Kirk is lost and presumed dead. But he's actually been happily trapped in the timeless purgatory of the Nexus--an idyllic state of being described by the mystical Guinan (Whoopi Goldberg) as "pure joy." Picard must convince Kirk to leave this artificial comfort zone and confront Dr. Soran (Malcolm McDowell), the madman who will threaten billions of lives to be reunited with the addictive pleasure of the Nexus. With subplots involving the android Data's unpredictable "emotion chip" and the spectacular crash-landing of the starship Enterprise, this crossover movie not only satisfied Trek fans, but it also gave them something they'd never had to confront before: the heroic and truly final death of a beloved Star Trek character. Passing the torch to the Next Generation with dignity and entertaining adventure, the movie isn't going to please everyone with its somewhat hokey plot, but it still ranks as a worthy big-screen launch for Picard and his stalwart crew. --Jeff Shannon

    5 out of 5 stars Generations DVD   June 26, 2009
    Janice Cagle (Alabama, USA)
    I am really pleased with my purchase of the dvd Star Trek Generations. It is a wonderful transition from the old Star Trek to the Next Generation Star Trek. Having Captain Kirk and Captain Picard in the same movie was exciting. My set of all the released Star Trek movies is now complete!


    3 out of 5 stars Best TNG Movie   May 15, 2009
    Lokai (Ohio, USA)
    Even though this is the best TNG movie, that isn't saying much. When Kirk left the Nexus, he should have gone to the Enterprise-B the moment he left the ship and kill Zoran. But nope, the legendary Kirk is killed off in a lame death scene. However, this movie does make you think about several key concepts. Because this TNG movie actually made me think, I give it 3 stars.


    4 out of 5 stars Captains, My Captains!   May 11, 2009
    K. Fontenot (The Bayou State)
    Serving as a bridge between the original cast of Star Trek's films and TOS and TNG's crew, "Star Trek: Generations" is a fun ride that lacks the sentimental punch most fans would hope for. It opens with a new crew aboard the Enterprise being greeted by some of the ship's more legendary crew members (Kirk, Chekov, and Scotty). When the incomplete ship receives a distress signal, captain and crew attempt a rescue. What results is the loss of Kirk.

    Hurtle seventy-eight years into the future. We find Picard and company celebrating the promotion of Worf. During the event, Picard receives bad personal news but must fight through it in order to save another ship that's eerily in the same situation as the Enterprise found itself in over seventy years before.

    The Enterprise sends an away team to investigate, and they uncover Dr. Soran (Malcolm McDowell). While still investigating the vessel, Soran demands to return to the ship in order to finish an experiment that is extremely time sensitive.

    Soon enough, the Enterprise finds itself attempting to stop the destruction of a planet as a madman tries to catch a ride on the Nexus, a place of pure joy and tranquility for any who are caught up in it.

    Can Picard, Riker, and the rest of the Enterprise crew save the day? Perhaps an old hero from the past can give them a hand? All the answers lie within "Star Trek: Generations."

    Albeit a somewhat hokey plot, Soran's quest to find ecstasy in the Nexus plays out very well on the screen. Subplots involving the personal loss of Picard and Data's humorous experiences with an emotion chip were also very entertaining. Where the film really struggles, in my opinion, is the installation of the TOS crew into the story. I personally feel that TOS crew got a perfect farewell in "Star Trek: The Undiscovered Country" and wish that they had been left alone after that film. Dragging out the "old guys" one more time made "Generations" feel sort of cheap. It's almost as if writers Ronald D. Moore and Brannon Braga (with story help from Rick Berman) didn't feel that the TNG crew could man a film on their own and needed an "icon" in Kirk to help boost the film overall.

    Despite its weaknesses, "Generations" is a decent entry in the Trek universe. The DVD itself is very good, and includes a number of wonderful extras. My personal favorites are the "Crashing the Enterprise" segment and the brilliant look into the "Enterprise Lineage" that includes glimpses at the real Enterprise through the ages.

    Recommended to fans of Star Trek and anyone who enjoys a good space opera littered with action, suspense and Kirk kicking butt one last time.



    5 out of 5 stars "I just love scanning for lifeforms!"   March 30, 2009
    Douglas Crawshaw Jr. (Ottawa, KS)
    This is a wonderful movie. Near my top on the Star Trek list (Star Trek IV is still competing for top nod on my list). If you like Star Trek: The Next Generation, then this will be awesome. The Next Gen cast doesn't come in until the sea ship holodeck scene, in which there is a funny part (but Geordi says, "Not funny!") Oh well, Data tries. Anyway, I won't spoil the rest for you, except that Kirk makes one last hurrah. Enjoy it! Have a nice day and God Bless!


    4 out of 5 stars Star Trek: Generation Gap   February 26, 2009
    Ryan D. Peterson (Orem, UT USA)
    This movie was made in an environment that stacked the deck against it. They finished the run of The Next Generation and put this movie out in the end of that very same year. Jumping right in to a rushed production is not a good start for a movie.

    Additional constraints include (but aren't limited to):
    * They had to make a "passing the torch" movie, bridging the two movie series
    * They needed to destroy the Enterprise D since it was designed for the aspect ratio and picture quality of the television format, not the big screen.
    * They had a director with no prior movie experience (though he had directed episodes of the show, so he was familiar with the cast and crew)
    * Sections of the script leaked out onto the then brand spanking new internet, forcing several last minute rewrites, including the infamous death scene.

    Add all of that together, and it's amazing that this movie works as well as it does. It pales in comparison to the Nicholas Meyer movies, but it does have its own charm. It largely plays out like a big-screen episode of the series, but compared to the original cast's first movie, it's Shakespeare.

    In the end, it's mainly one for the fans, but you probably already suspected that.
