Review of Star Trek: Generations (1994) by Steve F — 12 Apr 2009

You might think I'm rating this too highly, but take a pill. Firstly, Malcolm McDowell has an unmatched intensity and is chilling as the villain. Secondly, although it's not executed perfectly, the theme of the movie IS mortality.

..life and death, and what defines our lives. So having Kirk in here makes perfect sense. Now, I will admit the novelization played this out way more effectively, but this movie was still great in bringing the character interactions up to a new level and raising the stakes.

This movie's biggest flaw? Not the temporal mechanics and the discussions therein...but that it came between Star Trek VI and First Contact. Man...that's harsh.
