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.

Reviews for Star Trek: Generations
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
