There were only two ways for "classic Trek" cast members to
appear in a movie with the cast of Star Trek: The Next Generation:
either Capt. Kirk and his contemporaries would have to be very, very old, or
there would be some time travel involved in the plot. Since geriatric heroes
aren't very exciting (despite a welcomed cameo appearance by the aged Dr.
McCoy), Star Trek: Generations unites Capt. Kirk (William Shatner) and
Capt. Jean-Luc Picard (Patrick Stewart) in a
time-jumping race to stop a madman's quest for heavenly contentment. When a
mysterious energy coil called the Nexus nearly destroys the newly christened
U.S.S. Enterprise-B, the just-retired Capt. Kirk is lost and presumed
dead. But he's actually been happily trapped in the timeless purgatory of the
Nexus--an idyllic state of being described by the mystical Guinan
(Whoopi Goldberg) as "pure joy." Picard must convince Kirk to leave this artificial comfort
zone and confront Dr. Soran (Malcolm McDowell), the
madman who will threaten billions of lives to be reunited with the addictive
pleasure of the Nexus. With subplots involving the android Data's unpredictable
"emotion chip" and the spectacular crash-landing of the starship Enterprise,
this crossover movie not only satisfied Trek fans, but it also gave them
something they'd never had to confront before: the heroic and truly final death
of a beloved Star Trek character. Passing the torch to the Next
Generation with dignity and entertaining adventure, the movie isn't going to
please everyone with its somewhat hokey plot, but it still ranks as a worthy
big-screen launch for Picard and his stalwart crew.
