ST: VII - Generations.

Arguably the last great trek film. Although I enjoyed STVI much more. I watched this entry out of duty than anything, to see how Kirk dies.

The Nexus was a corny plot device, but worked in the way it was meant to. Tollian Soran didn't seem particularly evil, maybe they should have developed him more, as a man who knew that what he was doing was wrong, but could not help himself.

Well, that's just it: according to Brannan Braga and Ron Moore, Soran was never intended to be a fearsome villain, he was merely misguided. He was just a man who lost his ethical values, and wanted to be with his family at all costs. Desperate men do desperate things.

that was hilarious -- and then Data pushed Crusher in - i thought that was really funny - even if Crusher and Geordi didn't -- why? b/c it was classic Data -


but - the 'overacting' of emotion started to grate on my nerves about 2 mins after he put that stupid chip in --- but, then there's the 'oh sh**' scene - which is priceless ----

Amen! That scene where Data curses had the whole audience roar with laughter, myself included.

Acting was mostly acceptable, the standouts being Shatner, Stewart, Goldberg, and Burton.
Sadly Brent Spiner''s talents were wasted on a humor subplot that dragged, and Michael Dorn's role was practically non-existent!
Its just a shame that a better script could not have been developed to best faciliate the Next Gen's jump to the big screen.
