The seventh Star Trek feature passed the torch to a new crew. Decades after the original "Trek," the skipper of the fourth USS Enterprise is Jean-Luc Picard (Patrick Stewart), who investigates a massacre at a science outpost. The only survivor is Dr. Soran (Malcolm McDowall), who perpetrated the event to cover up his invention: a bomb he launches into a nearby sun, exploding it. As Soran escapes with Klingon cronies, Picard learns that Soran's plan is to summon a heavenly energy ribbon called

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.
Generations is predictably flabby and impenetrable in places, but it has enough pomp, spectacle and high-tech small talk to keep the franchise afloat.
A rich and absorbing saga.
Mostly, Generations spends its running length searching for, and never completely finding, its niche.
A flawed but funky adventure involving a time warp known as the Nexus.
From the opening shot of a champagne bottle floating in space to the pulsating ribbon of an engulfing Nexus, the film's images dazzled me.
Doesn't work as a goodbye to Kirk or as a hello to Picard.
...seems to drag on for at least a half an hour longer than it needs to. (Blu-ray Edition)
Star Trek: Generations suffers from the feeling that it is only a bigger budgeted episode of the television show, one that fails to use the full potential of the cinematic medium.
The seventh Trek extravaganza emerges as a disappointment, slightly better than the inept Star Trek V but markedly inferior to Parts II and VI.
I had hoped Generations would rescue Star Trek from its pervasive dullness, but somehow things have gotten even more boring
Old/new Starfleet heroes warpspeed a lukewarm plot.
a little stiff but still good
It's nice to see Kirk one last time.
The series' dullest instalment.
A two part TNG episode that never fully takes advantage of it's film medium. The acting is overall decent and the visuals are entertaining to look at. However, the movie is plague by episodic writing, questionable character motivations, and a nonsensical plot device(The Nexis). The movie is meant to pass the torch

The first Next Generation film is unfortunately a big mess that uses a confusing plot device to bid a ridiculous adieu to Captain Kirk while giving space to the uncharismatic crew of Captain Picard in the Star Trek movies - and not even the unnecessary subplot makes it worth seeing.
