Reviews for Star Trek: Generations
Both a dismal farewell to the old crew and a dull introduction to the new.
08/10/03
So so attempt to combine two generations of Star Trek crews.
06/07/03
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.
05/20/03
Generations is predictably flabby and impenetrable in places, but it has enough pomp, spectacle and high-tech small talk to keep the franchise afloat.

Top CriticA successful entry in the series, and a darn good film on its own.
03/11/03
A superb sci-fi morality play about the vibrancies of love and work.
08/18/02
...tries too self consciously to connect the old crew to the newer one and never quite makes a smooth transition.

This one is fun for fans. And I guess I'm a fan.
01/01/00
A rich and absorbing saga.
01/01/00
Uninspired.
01/01/00
Mostly, Generations spends its running length searching for, and never completely finding, its niche.
01/01/00
Even so-called trekkies had several bones to pick with the plot and characterisation of this movie.
01/01/00
This film is a triumph of style over substance.
01/01/00
A flawed but funky adventure involving a time warp known as the Nexus.
01/01/00
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.
01/01/00
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.
