I do not hate Star Trek: Generations, but at the same time it is a difficult film to entirely like.

| Original Score: 5/10 | Oct 13, 2024

The result was perhaps not what devoted fans hoped for, but in its own right, it's a solid production and entertaining Star Trek adventure.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Sep 4, 2023

For every good moment there are two or three awkward ones, and while there is an undeniable thrill of seeing the two “generations” of Enterprise captains working together, it is hard not to wish that the film had more grandeur and more guts.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Jun 19, 2023

A solid franchise entry.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Apr 8, 2023

Star Trek: Generations feels like such a miscalculation of the show’s strengths.

| Apr 5, 2023

It will come to be regarded as a transitional movie — a shaky passing of the torch. Some of it is fun, though.

| Original Score: C | Aug 31, 2022

There are lots of colored lights, and it is always fun to share the Trekkies' enthusiasm for characters who are so well ingrained in pop culture. Star Trek: Generations, though, speaks clearest to the already converted.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Feb 25, 2022

As Kirk's showdown with Soran makes painfully apparent, it was time for him to boldly go.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Aug 17, 2021

It's not merely a couple of episodes strung together; it's a surprisingly bland selection of possibly unused concepts from the show, fleshed out in an unspectacular fashion.

| Original Score: 3/10 | Sep 24, 2020

Though not the worst of all the Trek movies, the stupefying Generations is easily the most disappointing, with the much-hyped Kirk-Picard team-up lasting all of 20 minutes.

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | May 31, 2020

Three things make the film worthwhile: [William] Shatner's performance; the sequence involving Data getting his "emotion chip" implant; and John Alonzo's crystalline cinematography, which makes Generations the most beautiful Trek ever.

Full Review | Original Score: 2.5/4 | Mar 25, 2020

The best thing about "Star Trek Generations" is [Patrick] Stewart, as Captain Picard, and the way the movie allows this powerfully charismatic Englishman to swagger the center and take command of one of America's most cherished fables.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Mar 25, 2020

It's well-plotted, cleanly staged and, on the whole, not badly acted.

Full Review | Mar 25, 2020

Pretty much everything from the time Kirk leaves to the time he reappears is a distraction.

| Original Score: C- | Apr 12, 2019

A perfect microcosm on the film's problems can be found in Data's emotion chip snafu, a B-plot that runs the course of the whole film.

| Jan 14, 2019

The first big-screen adventure for the Star Trek: The Next Generation cast...

| Original Score: 3/4 | Jun 10, 2018

"Star Trek Generations" never beams us down. It's good cornball mainstream sci-fi, as close to brand-name reliability as this genre gets.

| Apr 26, 2018

Too many senten-tious insights and lame jokes have been grafted on to the basic yarn.

| Dec 14, 2017

Fns of the series will no doubt be happy to see Kirk again under any circumstances, and if you hunger for the "Star Trek" experience, this will keep you nicely occupied.

| Sep 7, 2016

Star Trek at its geekiest, and cursory filmmaking at its blandest.

| Original Score: 5/10 | May 29, 2013
