Slow pace in the most part of the movie.

The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.

This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows

The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

This film is the seventh of the franchise and renews almost everything, as we advance in time to follow the adventures of Captain Picard, played by Patrick Stewart, the new protagonist. Okay, in this film William Shatner still makes a brief appearance, but this happens in a context that the script clearly specifies, and which may (or may not) make logical sense. Either way, the film deserves a positive note regarding the use of new special effects and technologies. They have proved to be very useful to the film. I also liked the new improved sets and costumes. As far as the actors' work is concerned, Stewart does not disappoint, giving us a good participation, but I also really enjoyed the performance of Malcolm McDowell as the villain and Brent Spiner as Data, a humanoid robot who has difficulty understanding feelings. The franchise, thus, takes up a new breath, and this is a good promise for the future.

Much like the first Star Trek film, "Star Trek Generations" could have been great, but ultimately failed to create the high drama and emotional character development that fans of the series crave. The idea of Captains Kirk and Picard interacting in one movie seemed like box office dynamite, but did not live up to the billing.The basic plot of this film has the "Next Generation" Enterprise crew investigating a strange astral phenomena in which people can live out their greatest fantasies. When that phenomena falls into the wrong hands, the conflict of the movie is set.The movie fails to deliver in a few key areas: First, the introduction and ultimate fate of the returning James T. Kirk seem quite anticlimactic. In what should have been a monumental "passing of the torch" moment, the writers/producers instead chose to play down the "cannon" aspect in favor of the script at hand. Second, the "Next Generation" crew all seem a bit wooden in their performances, almost as if they were taking themselves too seriously on the big screen, when they should have just remained true to their silver-screen characters.A few scenes actually work quite while, however, saving this movie from complete oblivion. The opening of the movie, featuring a fish-out-of-water Kirk watching a new captain command the Enterprise, is classic, while Captain Jean-Luc Picard's "fantasy life" in the astral phenomena adds depth to his character. Also, the emotion-chip plot line involving Data was humorous (even though Data's ultimate decision on the chip doesn't come until later on in the Next Generation TV show).To conclude, "Star Trek Generations" is an average movie that is very uneven throughout. Some scenes with Kirk are great, others are anti-climatic. Some information regarding the astral phenomena is interesting, while at other times it is just confusing. If you are just watching the Star Trek movies, I would recommend this film in order to become accustomed to the Next Generation cast. If you already are a "Next Gen" fan, this movie can easily be skipped en route to the next installment in the movie series.

This is another highly entertaining Star Trek film that brings together two captains of the Starship Enterprise face to face: Captain Kirk and Captain Picard. An El-Aurian scientist Dr. Tolian Soran is a madman and quickly becomes the nemesis of Captain Picard of the 24th century. What he seeks is the Nexus Ribbon and it's up to Captain Picard and crew to stop him but Picard needs the help of a man who's been dead around 80 years, that man is Captain Kirk. Note: The El-Aurian race are known for living a long time. A great film. I really enjoyed how they tied both generations together but my only wish is there was more interaction between both generations captains and with both crews. 9/10

I've just got off the heels of talking about the reboot films and I don't think they're as worth watching as the original stuff. While this does have problems in terms of story, it can sometimes get pretty interesting. The plot is that Kirk saves people from an anomaly in space before seemingly dying. 78 years later Captain Picard saves scientists from an attack where they seemingly left. Turns out the link between them that wasn't on the previous shows is Doctor Sorrin played by Malcolm McDowell, an alien who can live up to 300 years who will do anything and everything to get back into The Nexus, a place where the ultimate fantasies of anyone who enters it come true but any ship that enters it gets severely damaged at best, being that it's coming back he decides to altar the gravity and thereby it's path by imploding suns, killing at least trillions. It's up to Picard (and eventually Kirk) to stop Sorrin and put things right. If there's any complaints it would be that the story... lapses. Picard in this has to deal with being the last of them after his brother and family die in a fire... I've only watched the first season of TNG but the way it's done is so... rushed I didn't even know he had a brother. The same thing can be said for the climax of the movie wherein it's established Time doesn't exist in The Nexus so they can hop to anywhere at anytime so they go back to the time before Sorrin entered the Nexus, I don't know if this contradicts how time travel in Star Trek works but why not go back to the first sun he wiped out or the other lives he put in jeopardy in Kirk's time? And shouldn't there be 2 Picard's at the confrontation then? It also does seem unbalanced because Kirk really is barely in this or is any other cast member of the original series. So if you want that then this doesn't really deliver. This is a lot better than the newer films I've seen so far so I might recommend watching it if you're a fan of the older stuff but for me personally, if you want to see a better Next Generation film, watch First Contact or if you like the original series either Wrath Of Khan or The Undiscovered Country.
