Review of Star Trek: Generations (1994) by Mark P — 05 Jan 2009

Generations has its good points and its bad, it's a movie that has to shoehorn both sets of cast in and perhaps suffers for that reason, Shatner is ever reliable as Kirk but the chemistry between him and Picard just isn't the same as that with Spock and McCoy.

The plot involving the Nexus is really just a flimsy excuse to bring the two casts together, although Malcolm McDowell hams it up nicely as the villainous Dr Soran but the subplots for both Picard and Data are decidedly less interesting.
