“Star Trek: Generations” (1994)
Directed by David Carson
Stardate: the 23rd Century. Retired Starfleet officers James T. Kirk (William Shatner), Montgomery Scott (James Doohan) and Pavel Chekov (Walter Koenig) are guests of honor aboard the newly christened Enterprise-B. A test run takes an unexpected turn, however, 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 (Patrick Stewart) and the crew of Enterprise-D rescue an El Aurian physicist named Soran (Malcolm McDowell). Unbeknownst to Picard, Soran harbors a deadly plan that includes the destruction of the Enterprise and millions of lives. Now Picard’s only hope for a future rests within the Nexus… and a legendary captain from the past.
I know, I know. You might be saying Star Trek: Generations is even less of a holiday movie than Die Hard because the only Christmas scene in it is a vision Captain Picard has while in the Nexus. I don’t care. This is a holiday movie to me that I enjoy watching every winter season.
I was so excited to see The Next Generation cast when it hit theaters in 1994. Hands down still my favorite Star Trek series.
