Star Trek: Generations (DVD)

With the sixth film in the Star Trek series being the last shout for the original Enterprise crew ('The Undiscovered Country'), Paramount Pictures decided to go in a different direction for the seventh film, STAR TREK: GENERATIONS. The TV show STAR TREK: THE NEXT GENERATION had been highly successful with both audiences and critics, but had recently come to the end of its 7-year run, and it was decided that it was time to transfer this success to the big screen. However, it was felt that movie fans would only accept this transition if it was eased by the appearance of some of the original crew in this new film. As such the studio attempted to recruit William ...  Read the complete review

When i was a teenager, it was not thought a good thing to like Star Trek. Scrap that, it wasn't a good thing at any point in my life. My dad used to disuade watching it (not in a horrible way, but if i did watch it then i would have to put up with comments from him), and if it wasn't my dad it was my sister.

To this extent i have recently been buying the films and this was the one that i last watched. In it both Captian Kirk and Picard play a part in saving a planet from a mad scientist.

Released in 1994, the seventh film in the franchise was one that film that had to hand the baton to the Next Generation crew and was one that was a formidable task to do from the story point of view, and needed a story that could link the two time periods.

The film begins with the christening of Enterprise B under the command of Captain John Harriman, this is going to be the first trip of the new Excelsior Class Starship and three special guests are invited along by Starfleet, these are Captain ...  Read the complete review

‘I’ve always known… I’ll die alone,’ said James T. Kirk in the godawful fifth Star Trek film, misleadingly sub-titled ‘The Final Frontier.’ It’s probably for the best that anything and everything from that forgettable script be forgotten, and the movie be shelved for infinity along with ‘Superman IV: The Quest for Peace.’ The Star Trek movie franchise continued regardless, the U.S.S. Enterprise and most of its crew under Kirk being decommissioned in 1991, but a few of the old faces remained to pass the torch to Patrick Stewart and company in this seventh feature. Despite being promoted HEAVILY as the bridge between the original crew and the cast of the ...  Read the complete review

Star Trek The Next Generation movie is the first film that featured the cast of the next Generation series of the Star Trek series and the last for the stars of the original series and is the seventh of the Star Trek films over all. The film begins before the time of the Next Generation timeline and the time of Captain James T Kirk and the launch of the brand new Enterprise B. The opening of the film shows an important element that spans the whole film, with an incident that involves Captain Kirk and a phenomenon later to be known as the Nexus. After this event we are taken to the time of the Next Generation crew aboard the Enterprise D, within ...  Read the complete review
