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.

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.
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.
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.
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.
...tries too self consciously to connect the old crew to the newer one and never quite makes a smooth transition.
At least the special effects and outer space vistas are more handsome than usual.
I had hoped Generations would rescue Star Trek from its pervasive dullness, but somehow things have gotten even more boring
It would have, however, been nice if Generations would have gone beyond the scope of the television series to deliver something a bit more substantial.
Everything this picture does differently is a piece of a potentially exciting story, but there just isn't any glue to hold this model Enterprise together.
Here is a movie so concerned with in-jokes and updates for Trekkers that it can barely tear itself away long enough to tell a story.
