But, within moments of take-off, the Enterprise receives a distress signal from two ships about to be obliterated, and Captain Kirk is asked to return to the helm. With his vast experience and expertise, he manages to save one of the ships. However, Kirk disappears in the process, and at least one of the passengers he saves is not all thankful. It seems that the rescue yanked him out of an idyllic world of perfect joy. Now he'll do anything, even kill, to return -- and it's up to Captain Jean-Luc Picard to prevent that from happening.

The series' dullest instalment.

It's nice to see Kirk one last time.

The seventh Trek extravaganza emerges as a disappointment, slightly better than the inept Star Trek V but markedly inferior to Parts II and VI.

Devoted Trekkers will have to see it to keep abreast of the ships’ logs, but Saturday night at the flicks fun-seekers are apt to concur this one only fires on stun.

A successful entry in the series, and a darn good film on its own.

Both a dismal farewell to the old crew and a dull introduction to the new.

This one is fun for fans. And I guess I'm a fan.

This entry isn't particularly strong, but it isn't terribly weak, either -- it's probably the best of the "odd number" Trek movies ever made

Rewards long-time fans but contains basic flaws likely to trouble general audiences.

A superb sci-fi morality play about the vibrancies of love and work.

Mostly, Generations spends its running length searching for, and never completely finding, its niche.

Even so-called trekkies had several bones to pick with the plot and characterisation of this movie.
