    They did one once or twice in CineWorld, in Dublin.

    Would struggle to be a success as movies 1,5,7,9,10 would have no one going

    Generations wasn't THAT bad. Certainly doesn't deserve to be mentioned in the same breath as The Final Frontier, Insurrection or Nemesis.

    Generations was terrible!!
    Riker and Worf talking techno babble instead of just pulverising the Duras ship.
    Data overacting every scene just because of an emotion chip.
    Picard coming out of a nexus at the time that he went in, rather than earlier.
    Most contrived reason to bring Kirk in
    Actually having Kirk in a Next Gen film

    Granted it's weak, but what I did enjoy...

    Seeing the Enterprise-B finally, instead of gazing at a tiny gold model of it on Picard's briefing room wall.

    Watching Kirk charge through pummeled starship corridors, punch in commands in a groaning Engineering, and shed a tear as his firends gazed out from the giant crater where Kirk used to be.

    The upgraded, moodily-lit Enterprise-D bridge swamped in an ocean of reds and blacks against the Amargosa star---very dramatic.

    Watching Data deal with and learn from his guilt at being afraid, and the friendship between Geordie and La Forge that, for the other TNG films, went criminally ignored.

    Malcolm McDowell: character was sh1t, but it was still cool having him get under Picard's skin: time is the fire in which we burn, Captain. I know you understand...

    Riker's Moment: whip-pan and Riker's deadpan command: FIRE.

    The sight of Enterprise breaking up, imploding, and then the saucer hitting planetside...as a child I was thinking, is this really happening?!?!

    It made quite an entrance didn't it? I love the Excelsior class :cool:

    Terrible, terrible plot, and really cheesey bringing Picard and Kirk together, but still quite enjoyable I think. I loved it when I saw it in the cinema... It was the one which most seemed like an actual feature film of the TNG ones - until maybe Nemesis

    I disagree my fellow trekker, in my opinion First Contact was the only TNG film that felt big enough to hit the cinema. Generations felt like a pumped-up crossover episode.

    Generations reveals that Riker chose to remain in the Q Continuum from the time when he was inducted into it and immediately began to act like an ass. This is demonstrated when he says he plans on living forever to Picard at the end of the film, evidence of the fact of his immortality and the continuum is the most likely candidate by about a million for this.

    Oh yeah, isn't there a TV meta-narrative conspiracy about shows such as Star Trek, the X Files, Twin Peaks etc all being products of this autistic boys mind in this tv show where in the final episode you see a snow globe or something of the town in which the show is based and somehow all the shows we watch on TV are being lived out in his mind? I'm trying to remember the name of the show so I can read up on it again.
