About this movie

Stardate: the 23rd Century. Retired Starfleet officers James T. Kirk (William Shatner), Montgomery Scott (James Doohan) and Pavel Chekov (Walter Koenig) are guests of honor aboard the newly christened Enterprise-B. A test run takes an unexpected turn, however, when the starship encounters two vessels trapped inside the Nexus, a mysterious energy ribbon. During a perilous rescue attempt, Kirk is swept out into space. Seven decades later, Captain Jean-Luc Picard (Patrick Stewart) and the crew of Enterprise-D rescue an El Aurian physicist named Soran (Malcolm McDowell). Unbeknownst to Picard, Soran harbors a deadly plan that includes the destruction of the Enterprise and millions of lives. Now Picard's only hope for a future rests within the Nexus... and a legendary captain from the past.

I think choosing David Carson as director was the biggest mistake, unless you leave out the space battles and fights (he directed season 3 episode 'Yesterday's Enterprise' which was a great story, until the battle scene which puts the kick-ass Enterprise-D to shame, just like in this film). Good acting with horrible direction...watch only once before deciding to buy.

No matter if the production values are a bit cheap or the logic of some scenes incredibly weak - Kirk standing around silently on the bridge while Harriman goofs and people die - the first TNG feature film grows on you. It's generational fun and Malcolm McDowell's wicked villainous mirth is well worth seeing again and again.

After a 2nd viewing, I really like Star Trek Generations, it's a very good introduction with great scenes and cinematography. If you didn't like it 1st time around, definitely go rewatch it
