Product Description

A two-disc collectable box set containing exclusive bonus features, STAR TREK GENERATIONS - SPECIAL COLLECTOR'S EDITION fast forwards to the 23rd century, uniting crew members from the original series with the Next Generation crew. In STAR TREK GENERATIONS - SPECIAL COLLECTOR'S EDITION, a test run takes an unexpected turn when the starship encounters two vessels trapped inside the Nexus, a mysterious energy ribbon. During a perilous rescue attempt, Kirk is swept out into space. Seven decades later, captain Jean-Luc Picard (Stewart) and the crew of Enterprise-D rescue an El Aurian physicist named Soran (McDowell). Unbeknownst to Picard, Soran harbors a deadly plan that includes the destruction of the Enterprise and millions of lives. Picard's only hope for a future lies within the Nexus.

Additional Features

Like all the previous Star Trek two-disc special editions, Generations is a significant improvement over the initial release, with an anamorphic widescreen picture and the first-ever DTS soundtrack for a Trek DVD. The audio commentary is by longtime Next Generation writers Brannon Braga and Ronald D. Moore, who were tapped to script the film. While they may not have the star power of the directors and actors who have done commentaries in this series, they do have a lot of insider TNG information and don't shy from admitting what they thought worked and didn't work (the technical talk is "definitely our show at its worst"). The four deleted scenes offer a more macho entrance for Kirk, a humorous bit with Data, a poignant scene of Picard's possible future, and an alternate--and duller--ending that has a slightly different outcome from the film. Not surprisingly, many of the other features have a strong Enterprise slant, including a history of the ship's lineage, a tribute to original art director Matt Jeffries, and examinations of the famous scene through storyboards and behind-the-scenes footage. --David Horiuchi

I love the fact that this really is the official hand-off ...

Reviewed in the United States on July 30, 2017

Format: Prime VideoVerified Purchase

I love the fact that this really is the official hand-off of the old series to the new, even if it is after the actual fact. The story was very well written and weaves together two very different Star Treks, paying homage to one and instilling a blessing on the other. Be sure to watch this on your laptop so you can pull up the trivia easter eggs sprinkled throughout the movie. They will give you back story or perhaps a fact about the actor or the scene or location and can be interesting by themselves.

Until this movie, I never realized what an accomplished horseman Shatner is. In the scene with him and Patrick Stewart, what people don't realize is Shatner is riding his own horse on his own property and did his own jumping over the ditch, something he did often at that time with that horse. Stewart does not ride his own horse in this film but the saddle he grabs is his own, also being an accomplished horseman in his own right. To watch the equestrian interplay between the two actors is lovely if you have a decent grasp of equitation. Shatner's horse is not out of control at any time when he's dancing around. The actor is giving the horse very subtle cues to make the movements that it makes. Stewart is not just sitting there either. It takes an equal amount of horsemanship to keep a mount calm and immobile while another horse circles it that closely. To think they did this while reciting lines and doing scenes is amazing to me.

This is a great movie.

A kid's review:

This movie is really something; a great plot line, characters from both Star Trek The Original Seriesand The Next Generation.

This movie is full of jokes. It has almost as many jokes in it as Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home.

The only downside is it needs more of The Original Series. It only contains Captain James "Jim" Kirk (William Shatner), Lieutenant Commander Montgomery "Scotty" Scott (James Doohan), and Ensign Pavel Chekov (Walter Koenig). It could really do with the other four well-known cast, namely Lieutenant Commander Leonard "Bones" McCoy (DeForest Kelley), Lieutenant Hikaru Sulu (George Takei), Commander Spock (Leonard Nimoy), and Lieutenant Nyota Uhura (Nichelle Nichols).

Great movie, though.

Nice Debut for the TNG Films

Reviewed in the United States on October 6, 2016

Format: Prime VideoVerified Purchase

A great film for fans of the original trek and TNG; the idea of the Nexus - a place where you can create your own reality - keeps drawing me back to this film. And one of the most honest and human death scenes of any film. The Amazon Prime version has some wonderful tidbits you can click on, such as information about the historical ship used in the TNG cast's opening scene, the ranch and horses used in Kirk's version of the Nexus, etc. Fun trivia, and a fun watch!

The cheesy movie where Picard meets Kirk and both get out-acted by Malcolm McDowell as he manages to character act a character that is so thin on details it shouldn't exist. The plot doesn't make sense, the effects are dated, and it somehow still manages to capture the fun of TNG Star Trek in an easily consumable way.

Not horrible. Not great.

Reviewed in the United States on December 6, 2019

This movie works as a nice bridge between the Original Series and Next Generation crew. Some nice moments, but overall, the pacing and plot feel just a bit off. And how the story ultimately turns out for Captain Kirk... well... let's just say it's very lackluster, which, as a huge fan of the original series, makes me quite sad.

An Excellent Collection: Superb Second Disc is Great

Reviewed in the United States on June 24, 2006

Format: DVDVerified Purchase

GENERATIONS is the so-called Passing of the torch in the Star Trek Universe of the time of the movies release.
The movie is basically about getting the two Captains together to fight off an El Aurian Scientist who wants to live forever in the Nexus.The film is a great fun watch.Some of the minor criticisms about the movie really come down to who likes which version best. Well, as someone who thinks that There can be only one, Kirk, for me, is the only Captain, however, I can appreciate what Picard has done, but still my opinion is in favour of Kirk.
The commentary by the two writers of this movie is interesting, but not entirely fulfilling, still, it does live up to its entertaining task, which some informative commentaries never quite achieve.
THIS DVD: Great menus of the various options. Nicely done as well.Great Sections abound. In THE STAR TREK UNIVERSE, the tribute is excellent, and at points very touching. The creation of the Picard Family Album is at turns interesting, at turns funny to the point of silly, but all entertaining.
The Remaining features that cover Production, Visual Effects, Scene deconstruction, and also the Deleted Scenes, are all both entertaining as well as informative. It was informative to see the scenes that prompted the major re-shoot, and revealing to see why it was made necessary.
I now have Three Versions of this Film, Two on VHS, now this one on DVD. It is intersting to see that the cover is the best and clearest on this DVD 2 disc, and the British one has some very rare extras, and is a numbered release which I was very happy to get. Kirk is dead, long live the Captain of the Enterprise, Captain James T Kirk !!! Hopefully the rumours that the next film will have the young Kirk and Spock acted by other actors, but voiced by the originals. Certainly Shatner does some superb voice work... check out his Audio Books.

Please note: the SCE version DOES have the Theatrical trailers, so don't think you will miss that... it says so on the box, and its on the disc set I have.

And thanks again to AMAZON for making good on another USPS mess up where my DVD was damaged.The new copy was great, totally intact, not used as a football, and the quality is superb. KUDOS to Amazon !!!!!!!!

2nd best TNG film.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on September 4, 2018

First Contact will always be my favourite TNG film as well as my favourite Star Trek movie overall but Generations comes in close as my 2nd favourite TNG film, the CGI and special effects still look great after 24 years and the destruction of Enterprise D always gets me every time, I remember watching that for the first time with my jaw wide open. The only thing I don't like is how they killed off Kirk, he deserved a much better send off but overall it's not a bad film at all.

Though it may not be a perfect film, Star Trek: Generations is very underrated, I feel. Its plot's details can't always fight scrutiny and the pace can be awkward, yet it has some intriguing ideas and genuinely poignant moments. For an odd-numbered Star Trek film, I'd say it's pretty good.
In the prologue, retired captain James T. Kirk's attending the maiden voyage of Enterprise-B when two ships, containing alien refugees, send out a distress signal; they're caught in the Nexus, a destructive energy ribbon which keeps its prisoners in states of pure joy. Thanks to Kirk, a handful of them are saved while Enterprise-B just manages to escape, though he's seemingly sucked into the vaccum of space. 78 years later (according to an on-screen transcript; dialogue puts it at 80), The Next Generation crew discover an attacked observatory and rescue Dr. Tolian Soren (Malcolm McDowell), one of the original refugees, who'll sacrifice countless lives getting back to the Nexus.
I was a bit confused by what the Nexus is and does. Apparantly those within it can alter time outside it, which makes me wonder why one character doesn't exploit this to save more lives, or why, for that matter, Soren doesn't simply go back to before he became a refugee. HOW those within the Nexus can control time outside it is another matter entirely. Also, Guinan (Whoopi Goldberg), who was with Soren in the Nexus all those years ago, describes it as though its effect is purely visceral, whereas later we learn that it works in a more psychological way, though that's a minor point.
Soren's a fairly typical teeth-gnashing bad guy. The film could have been truly epic if it had developed him the way it did Picard and Kirk; their story arcs are Generation's emotional core. I found them deeply effective, elegiac even, as they ponder what lives dedicated to duty have cost them. These men share desires and regrets, sometimes expressed by the film with great poignancy. This is where Generations truly shines, and feels like a much-critically maligned part of it. Data's subplot, involving his acquisition of an emotion chip, is also good, but Picard and Kirk are what drive this story. Patrick Stewart and William Shatner deliver great performances (I was, however, amused to see a geriatric Kirk in a fight scene). I wish more time had been spent with Kirk; he takes a long time to re-appear after the prologue, while scenes which aren't really vital pop up. His last scene, however, is really quite moving. The same Kirk who waded through tribbles, witnessed the next step in our evolution, fought Khan twice, lost a son and forged peace with Klingons, ended up 80 years from home, attended by his successor after briefly finding happiness again. It's a powerful swansong.

"...The predator has no teeth."

It's often been tradition for sci-fi films to introduce themselves with a fantastic opening shot - Danny Boyle did it recently with 'Sunshine', and Generations is where Star Trek has a stab at a sensational opening piece. As the music rises from a barely discernable sound to a familiar fanfare, a champagne bottle twists in the vacuum of space and smashes against a new vessel - the third Starship Enterprise. Captain Kirk is on board along with some old friends to see the ship off on its maiden voyage with a young crew. A symbolic jolly around the cosmos and back turns more serious though when a distress signal is received, and pretty soon Kirk is up to his heroics, but sadly doesn't return.

It's an emotional goodbye to a Starfleet icon and the first 20 minutes feel in keeping with the first 6 'Trek films. The look and style is spot on, and it's a perfect marriage of eras when moments later we get to see the Next Generation Crew and another legendary Enterprise captain.

Generations gives us an adventure which finds the two captains assisting each other to defeat a man completely blinded by his desire to find paradise in a mind altering mass of energy called the Nexus. There are some definite plot holes around the Nexus and it's never satisfyingly explained - especially how the two manage to seemingly go back in time to a specific destination - but never mind, the film has its strengths too. Malcom McDowell is perfectly cast as the villain here. His creepy delivery and slow delivery gives the impression that every word is carefully considered for maximum impact. An actor with gravitas was a definitely required and McDowell is never overshadowed by two of the biggest names in Star Trek history. McDowell's portrayal of the manic Doctor Soran is done with humility, although he is prepared to kill millions to get to his beloved Nexus he still grounded in reality - his tragic past humanises him and he isn't a simple pantomime baddy, there for the audience to hiss at.

As with many of the Star Trek films humour plays a big part, but there's no squabbling between McCoy and Spock here (they don't appear in the film) instead most of the humour comes from Data's experience of emotion for the first time. He's going through something of an emotional puberty as he gets to grips with the chip, and the whole thing does sometimes feels as though it's been done purely to give the fans something new - but I think most would have been happy to keep the 'old' Data. It works well though in parts and manages to integrate itself into the overall story even if at times it's an obvious way to shoe-horn in the odd laugh ("...you lovely little life forms...").

Struggling with emotion is a common theme of the film, whether it's Data and his positronic meltdown, Picard distraught over the loss of a family member, or Kirk seeing life as it could have been. It often gets quite sentimental but it's not too over-the-top.

The Enterprise herself is a big a star of the show as any of the crew and the Enterprise-D looks superb here. I remember watching this at the pictures when I was 15 and being in complete awe at the saucer separation scene, and in Blu-Ray it still looks good. Many will think it would look better if it were CGI, but personally I much prefer the use of models. The textures and overall physics are much more real with models, CGI can look incredible - but it can also look obviously like CGI. Although the Enterprise appears magnificent, there is a scene where the explosion of a Klingon Bird Of Prey does look just like a hollow model being blown to bits.

The model work has been tackled well with regards to camera work, we get to see the ship from all angles which is great for fans of the series who were used to standard archive shots which were re-used time-an-time again. The live action parts have a familiar feel with David Carson directing, but that's because it looks like the TV series did, it doesn't seem to have taken on the visual qualities you expect from a film. The directing style plays it safe rather than being ambitious which is shame - but that was addressed in the next Star Trek film (First Contact).

This Blu-Ray transfer looks superb, the textures are detailed and the colours are vibrant. The image is clean and the special effects are shown at their very best. The previous Star Trek films often had very quiet dialogue which was drowned out by the music, but here every word is clear. There are plenty of special features - my favourite of which are a mini documentary about the models used, and a feature covering the destruction of the Enterprise.

In a nutshell: It's clear that this film was a vehicle to get Kirk and Picard together and the rest of the film is fitted around that. The story shows great promise but in the end it feels like a two-part TV episode with a few great special effects thrown in. I'd give this 3.5 stars if I could - but I can't. The bonus features on the disk have swayed me in the direction of 4 stars.

This is the transfer film from old to next generation,We begin with the launch of the Enterprise B with Kirk,Scotty and Checkov aboard and it isn't long before their up to their necks in trouble, without giving away plot lines we switch to the Enterprise D, and for once we see the crew enjoying themselves on the holodeck, not long before for all hell brakes loose and we're off on another "Trek".This film is first class entertainment the acting is first rate and for my liking Patrick Stewart has never been better,.I just wish they would have somehow brought Kirk back.Paramount would not entertain idea of bringing the old crew back again at any cost.Shame on them..

Many give First Contact this award, but for me, that film just felt a little poo faced and the initial borg cube fight was hugely disappointing. I love the Nexus plot in this film and Kirk is given a good sendoff. not sure why it has a 15 rating though. Musical score is second only to Final Frontier

As for the Blue Ray itself. There are plenty of interesting extras to get your teeth into. The picture quality is excellent although the sound is poorly balanced. As is so often the case with 'remasted' films, the dialog is too quiet whereas the action and music too loud. This is particularly bad for the whole series, particularly the later films.
