Star Trek Generations Reviews
Fun to see the two "Generations" together
While some might think this film really isn't worth it- IT IS! You have the best of both worlds from the beloved Star Trek franchises and the plot is great! While its sad to see the Enterprise D crash on Veridan 3 in the movie- we know well that she is brought back in Star Trek: Picard. So overall- seeing both legendary captains of the Enterprise from their time frames unite on one mission to take down a villain whose only mission was to get back to the Nexus and not care about the destruction he was causing to get there- was phenomenal. There is also the storyline of Data installing his emotion chip so that we could be understanding of what it is to be like us and to be human was also a great part of the development of the movie. Seeing the Klingon villains who were featured in this movie make a return from the end of the Star Trek: The Next Generation movie was also great and made good work for the plot. If you're a true sci-fi and Star Trek fan- then this is the movie for you. I give this my best rating- 5/5 stars- and for what it is worth- good writing- great actors- and an overall adventure like in this movie will be one to be talked about for many years after its release.
Just as bad as the other NG films
This is the perfect movie to showcase both "generations" of the show and I hold this movie close to my heart because my father loved Star Trek and it's one of the Star Trek movies, besides IV, that I would watch with him as a child. I cannot believe that this movie got such low reviews as it showcases a lot of everything. Sentimental both within the movie and out of it.
How strange that so many reviewers didn't understand this movie at all. It's not about action, it's about death and the time we have for life, what we can do with it and how it may be possible for humans to accept the realities of mortality. The clue is in the name.
LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Pretty awkward, and a pretty unserviceable ending for Kirk. But some character moments and interactions stood out a little. Not great.
Omg total bollox..no idea what was going on...as for the bit with the ship on the sea wtf !
An iconic team up of legendary captains, but they shouldn't have treated Star Trek VI like it wasn't the true conclusion, with a lazy, dull story, and is both anticlimactic and is weird. Rotton.
Enjoyed it. Nice to see the TNG crew start their movies. Loved some of the lighting and effects. Data getting emotional definitely has its moments. The Nexus or whatever was "interesting" and somewhat silly but it's entertainment. 4 stars.
Much better than most people remember it, and a very well handled passing of the torch. The film holds up, even if it's not the most exciting in the franchise. The debate between Kirk and Picard fans crescendoed into a film with both hero's, and gave us some of the best of each captain. Worth a watch if you're a fan of either.
Contrived transition movie bridging TOS to TNG; and it IS cool seeing the old and new people interacting;...(I personally think they should have done ALOT more of this, like Star Wars does)...But this script is boring...It's another rehash of Star Trek the Motion Picture where a sentient energy field threatens to exterminate the Enterprise...(Why did they want to do THAT one again??) So, thumbs down for this one, unfortunately 👎
The movie is a mess but it is trying to say something profound about death and mortality, something that few mainstream movies ever try to do. Honestly the fate of Kirk here is one of the things I like about the movie.
Scenes regarding Captain James T. Kirk are touching since they look back on life. It is also awesome to see him and Captain Jean-Luc Picard working together. The acting is tremendous across the board. And overall, the story is enjoyable.
It's ALMOST good mainly because the last 30 minutes out of nowhere start to get much more entertaining and have more character driven drama to it. The problem is the 1 hour 20 minutes before it is just a whole lot of nothingness. It's just ok and feels very stretched out. It's half decent overall because of that final 30 minutes or so. Everything just gets better but it's too little too late. Most of the time it's just everything weve seen before in the other movies but done better and with the old crew. The dumb comedic relief is so unneeded and out of place as well. The special effecs are solid and McDowell isn't a bad villian but the plot is a bit too simliar to others (especially the weaker entries of the franchise) and it's a bit jumpy between Picard, the crew, the villians, and the opening 20 minutes with Kirk. This really needed to just focus on slimming down and getting Picard into the Nexus with Kirk iright from the sart and slim down the opening 20 minute sequence. This would've allowed a much stronger emotional connection and focused drama to stop McDowell. anyone who is a fan of the franchise or any actors in this should check this out. It's worth it to wait through the boredom to the end and set up to watch the rest of the new series.
I always liked this Star Trek film. Surprised it has such a low score...
Two horse boys time travel; Brent Spiner steals the show. Also, your atoms would disintegrate at the speed of light. Fun passing of the torch from TOS to all star trek to come. Live Long and Prosper y'all.
Don't think too hard about the plot and you'll enjoy this one.
This is one for the fans. I doubt neutrals would find it much amusing, but for the followers of the series, it's definitely enjoyable; even if it's just for seeing Shatner pass on the baton to Stewart. Malcolm McDowell fans should enjoy the ride as well. He's no Khan or General Chang, but still makes a good sophisticated villain.
The fulfilled promise of a shimmering nexus in which desire becomes reality, the vivid sunset and explosion of a man-made supernova, and the campiness of the Klingon sisters ("Human females are so repulsive!") make this film the strongest of the Star Trek series. Light, by turns sparkling, blue, or orange, plays a major role here. William Shatner's Captain Kirk lingers a little too long, but Stewart's Picard and Spiner's Data mesh seamlessly with Malcolm McDowell's Dr. Tolian Soran, who delivers lines like, "Without my research, the trilithium is worthless, as are your plans to reconquer the Klingon Empire," with catchy arrogance.
