Star Trek VII - Treffen der Generationen

Alles in diesem Film ist irgendwie halbherzig ... die Geschichte gehört zu den lauwärmeren und den geradezu in die Länge gezogenen, der Humor in Form von Datenemotionen wirkt hier überraschenderweise sehr verwirrt und selbst Kirks Treffen mit Pickard ist bei weitem kein solch kraftvolles Ereignis, das es diesen Film ein paar Lichtjahre vorantreiben würde. . Außerdem sollen ja die Legenden nicht auf eine so gewöhnliche Art und Weise sterben ... David Carsons Regie ist es ziemlich anzumerken, dass er bei den Star Trek VII - Treffen der Generationen lediglich Serien hat einfließen lassen und quasi nicht in der Lage dazu ist, sich von der "Winzigkeit" der Episoden zu lösen. Die hervorragende Charakterdarbietung Patrick Stewarts ist ein unbestreitbarer Vorteil ... Und recht schöne Trickaspekte, die einen effektvollen Absturz des Raumschiffs Galaxy-Class kreieren. Das gibt´s ja nicht einfach nur so. Für einen wirklich guten Science-Fiction-Film, ist das ziemlich wenig, für einen nur durchschnittlichen Star Trek, ist das gerade solala. (26.03.2007)

This crew is very difficult to get used to. Even more so because at the beginning, a fraction of the original crew flashes by and shows that they could still handle it. But time has moved forward quite a bit, and a sloppy story based on something called Nexus takes precedence, which ultimately contradicts all its principles. And when the viewer gets a direct comparison, Shatner, surprisingly overshadowed by Stewart, defeats him by a class difference? In the end, it is a shocking weakness that only gains points for Kirk and loses a lot for what it does with his character. The Next Generation's legs were cut out from under them before they even took their place on the silver screen. (26.05.2009)

Perhaps more than any other film in the Star Trek series, Generations can be said to be intended for and mostly embraced by the large community of TV series fans. Much is subordinate to this - especially the deliberate connection of the original (of course, significantly aged) series characters with the new generation of their successors. In terms of story, it is a weaker installment, although the choice of Malcolm McDowell as the villainous Soran helped a lot. Overall impression: 55%. (08.12.2008)

Again, it's more of a nostalgic episode. I enjoyed the passages here with Kirk and possibly with Chekov and Scotty, but there are unfortunately too few of them. I'm not really into the new generation of "Star Trek" and I don't have the same connection to those characters as I do to the original ones. Even though I didn't watch the series, I was captivated by the movies and it was nice to meet them again. At least with some of them. (10.04.2015)
