Star Trek Generations (Special Collector's Edition) Reviews
The Death of James T. Kirk. Next Generation begins.
In the previous film, STAR TREK: THE UNDISCOVERED COUNTRY (1991), we came to the final voyage of our beloved Enterprise crew that we have known for 25 years. We would never see Kirk, Spock, McCoy, Scotty, Uhara, Chekov or Sulu together again. However, Rick Berman, Ronald D,. Moore, and Brannon Braga had one more idea!
The new Star Trek tv series, Star Trek: The Next Generation (1987-94) became such a sensation, when it ended on television in 1994, it was time for the Next Generation cast to continue their voyages on the movie screen.
The idea begins with a bottle of Dom Pergnon champagne, vintage 2265 (the year Kirk began with the Enterprise) christens the new NCC-1701-B Enterprise. Captain Kirk (William Shatner) visits the bridge and is soon hounded by reporters. Also guests aboard the bridge are Chekov (Walter Koenig) and Scotty (James Doohan). Captain Harriman (Alan Ruck) gives the honors to Kirk to "take us out".
Soon, the Enterprise receives a distress call. The Enterprise does not have a tractor beam installed yet. Kirk tries to sit by and let the new young captain command, but when trouble becomes to great, the captain finally asks Kirk for suggestions. Scotty was able to save 47 of 150 people aboard the Lakul. Safely aboard is the leader Suran (Malcolm McDowell) and Guinan (Whoopie Goldberg). Kirk decides to go down to Deck 15 to help the Enterprise make a blast. They have no torpedos yet. The Enterprise is hit. Deck 13, 14 and 15 have been destroyed. Scotty and Chekov finds the deck rooms and Kirk gone.
Now it is 78 years later. The Enterprise crew contains Captain Picard (Patrick Stewart), Riker (Jonathan Frakes), Data (Brent Spiner), LaForge (Levar Burton), Worf (Michael Dorn), Beverly Crusher (Gates McFadden) and Troi (Marina Sirtis). They are responding to the Amargosa Observatory. They beam down for survivors. Riker and Worf find Dr. Tolian Soran (wasn't he on the Enterprise where Kirk was "killed"?). They also find two dead Romulans.
Guinan who was also saved by the Enterprise 78 years ago, is now a bartender aboard Picard's ship. Guinan explains to Picard that when she was rescued aboard the Enterprise B, she was in an energy ribbon that destroyed the Lakul. The energy ribbon is also a doorway to the Nexus. "It is like being in joy". She was beamed out of it by the Enterprise B. So was Suran who is now a very dangerous man and is holding LaForge hostage.
Later in the film, when Picard, the Enterprise crew and Saran are swept up by the energy ribbon and enter Nexus. It is like heaven. Picard finds another person who has just arrived in the Nexus. It is James T. Kirk alive chopping wood for his cabin house.

LOST IN THE ALPHA QUADRENT
TO THE PREVIOUS REVIEWER. I PURCHASED THE S.C.E. OF GENERATIONS WHICH LISTED THE TRAILERS BUT COULD NOT FIND THEM ON EITHER DISK HOW DID YOU FIND THEM? I V'E TRIED WRITING PARAMOUNT ABOUT THIS,BUT THEY WILL NOT RESPOND. I THINK GENERATIONS HAD THE BEST TRAILERS OF ALL THE STAR TREK MOVIES AND I WOULD REALLY LIKE TO HAVE THEM!
