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

| Apr 5, 2023

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

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

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

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.

| Original Score: B | Sep 7, 2011

Star Trek Generations has enough verve, imagination and familiarity to satisfy three decades' worth of Trekkers raised on several incarnations of the television skein.

At least the special effects and outer space vistas are more handsome than usual.

| May 19, 2008

The series' dullest instalment.

| Feb 9, 2006

Devoted Trekkers will have to see it to keep abreast of the ships' logs, but Saturday night at the flicks fun-seekers are apt to concur this one only fires on stun.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Sep 15, 2004

Generations is predictably flabby and impenetrable in places, but it has enough pomp, spectacle and high-tech small talk to keep the franchise afloat.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | May 20, 2003

A successful entry in the series, and a darn good film on its own.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Mar 11, 2003

The plot holes are obvious and disconcerting, the sub-plots feel tacked-on, and the characters are both thinly-drawn and badly-played.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Sep 10, 2001

The meeting of Patrick Stewart's Jean Luc Picard and William Shatner's James T. Kirk is worth the price of admission or video rental: it's the clash of the titans, Shakespeare meets the Sixties.

Full Review | Jan 1, 2000

A flawed but funky adventure involving a time warp known as the Nexus.

| Jan 1, 2000

Here is a movie so concerned with in-jokes and updates for Trekkers that it can barely tear itself away long enough to tell a story.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Jan 1, 2000

A rich and absorbing saga.
