I know I'm gonna get flack for this, but whether or not you find Data annoying, I do believe he gave a very ACCURATE performance. If you had never felt emotions before and suddenly had them all in full force, then 1) you'd find the sensation fascinating and you'd want to explore it further, and 2) you'd have trouble controlling them.

[@greggreg385]

Jacob Friedman given, but spiner did a bad job conveying that.

[@jeffrokraus5483]

I think it's a very interesting psychological experiment, for all of us to watch. It is a way to see something standing in another persons shoes; I find it interesting how they show what it would be like to experience emotions when it is a new thing. Plus, it was supposed to be funny or amusing, in several scenes, on purpose. It's what makes this movie such a gem. ("Life forms" jingle ... hehehehehe. My favorite!)

[@arthas640]

I'm more or less a robot 99% of the time but if i smoke weed all of a sudden a start feeling emotions and that's more or less how I react as well so i guess your right. I never actually really thought about it like that, but you're right

It's not Picard's brother and nephew you're supposed to connect to, it's Picard. He is the _last_ Picard. He never had children of his own, since his brother had continued the family line. The Picard family line was filled with explorers and adventurers...after Jean Luc dies, there will be no others.

[@monkeyjb1988]

True. Despite Picard's age, he could still have kids.

[@danielthrasher1738]

Also, while we didn't spend a great deal of time with them, the episode they appeared in, Family, is a series classic that any fan will immediately remember as pivotal for the character.

[@feigekatarina5745]

I'm only going to point out the one problem in your statement. The Picard family wasn't filled with explorers. The one episode that featured his brother and nephew. While they're there, they discuss why jean Luc left to do starfleet. His brother couldn't understand why jean luc wasn't like him or their father. The Picard family was filled with FARMERS, not EXPLORERS. Jean luc was the black sheep of the family. Other than that, I think you could be right. For me though, it's just feeling his pain for brutally losing all of his family. Don't go into feeling pain for losing a legacy. Have you ever heard of a person having lost their family mourn, 'oh, no! My family legacy is over! We were so great!' No! It's just the pain of losing their family! Sheesh.

You can't forget that the emotion chip actually came from the tv series. So the fact that it is in the plot is acceptable.. (And of course, it leads to the "Lifeforms" song, wich is awesome)

[@SkyCharger001]

and while it may seem like they are different chips, the original was stated as being damaged at the end of that episode, so the shape we now see may just be the crude repairs necessary to have it functional again. (and the quality of said repairs could be the source of data's worry about it overloading his neural net)

[@nolandavis1129]

It’s just annoying that 7 several years of build up led to Data just making an ass of himself in this movie.

[@claywilliams6480]

[@kayleighbaker7802]

The Lifeforms Song is the best! Even better, Brent was supposed to simply hum while he scanned for lifeforms but he improvised and sang words instead. Leading to genuine reactions from the rest of the bridge.

Gotta say, the downplaying of Picard's only living relatives dying when he feels like family is the one thing that is missing from his life. The play is to have the audience empathize with Picard, which the audience should know fairly well. The play is not have the audience necessarily care about the loss of those characters directly.

The reason Soran didn't just get a ship and wait in the path of the nexus was explained in the movie. The anomaly that functioned as the door has a tendency to rip ships apart and killing everyone on board before they get into it.

[@Martiangrl86]

+NobodyImportant I never watched this movie, so I didn't know that part. So how exactly did Kirk survive to get into the Nexus into the first place? Wasn't he ripped from a ship? And how did Soran and the others survive their first encounter with the Nexus?

[@nobodyimportant2470]

Martiangrl86 The hull of the ship got ripped open and he was lucky enough to get thrown in by the decompression. The same likely happened to Soran and the others their first time in. The rescue at the start of the movie was a suicidal attempt to get in knowing that they would almost certainly all die. The later plan was safer for those wanting to enter.

[@TheWrongHands18]

@@Martiangrl86 Nobody knew Kirk was still alive in the Nexus. They assumed everyone was dying when the ships exploded. The El-Aurians probably could have surmised they would survive. Soran would not tell anyone because he was crazy and wanted the Nexus all for himself.

[@tristinjudd2595]

The reason why I think Robierres death works is because Picard, a character we've come to know as emotionally disciplined and in control of himself is suddenly broken. Not by the Borg, not by some Vulcan Vulcan emotional bonding but by normal loss. In all actuality this is the first time we be seen him break down due to loss.

[@joegrimes9232]

Hmmm I get it seems like an odd moment the death of Picard's family, but his entire character is he resented his family. Rejected them. Picard did love his family legacy, but not what they'd become; technology hating, agoraphobes whom had no adventurous spirit. He spurrned them as a teen joining the academy. Picard has an Ego. He saw himself as special. He never had kids, he was destined for great things. He adores his position, proud of his accomplishments, but always dreamed of having a family. living a simpler, anochronistic life. His character is one of the best, subtle characters built up over 7 series in a show. He's enigmatic, but they clearly demonstrate how conflicted he is with family throughout. He's initially cold to children. Because he wanted to be a father, but it would tie him down. He loves Beverley Crusher and sees himseld as a father figure to her son, but his Duty, his choice killed Wes' Father. . this entire Movie advances Picard beyond his hangups to be more badass in later movies

[@joegrimes9232]

The interplay between Picard and Kirk occurs in full Uniform too, a subtle reminder that this is a fantasy reality, that their obligations, their passions and goals were to starfleet above a complacent life. A parallel to reality that family and self growth is important, but we have a duty, an obligation to society. To place our input and make our mark on history. We wish we could go back and frolic those hours away with our loved ones. Spend days in bed whispering sweet nothings, but we chose this life we lead. That we have an obligation to the future. The Legacy we leave. Anochronistic like Picard's fantasy or Realistic like everyone he cared about on the Enterprise dying, or th people of Amagosa whom had lives now moot because of a fantasy. This film was so deeply underaspprecia ted

[@matthewmuir8884]

13:17 They answered that in the film; every ship that's gone near the Nexus has either been destroyed or severely damaged, and Soran can't be sure if he'll end up in the Nexus before any shuttle he catches blows to pieces. They say this in the very scene where Picard and Data figure out Soran's plan; a scene you showed earlier in the review.

[@romdan7136]

But like the correct Linkara pointed out.... Dude can just beam into empty space where he knows the Nexus will be with a space suit. Or what, the dude can't wait maybe 10 minutes?

[@alexandresobreiramartins9461]

***** In the cinema they tried to make commonplace action flicks that would appeal to the most generic public they could think of, thence the focus on action and bad jokes, while the TV series (like the original series, even though some notches above their depth) tried to be more thoughtful, in keeping with what Star Trek should be about. That's why for me the only good cinema movie of Star Trek out there is the first (V'Ger) one. And yes, I'm ready for all the hatred I'm gonna get for that, but that's how I feel. The only other mildly good one was The Undiscovered Country. The Wrath of Khan was a denigrating ripoff of the original Khan episode, with Montalban's acting being the only good thing in the whole movie, and the others only went downhill from there.

[@dandavidson6107]

Alexandre Martins I totally get what you're saying. I've always thought it strange that the film writers never really sought to mine the series for stories. There were so many possibilities to pick up where episodes left off. I do disagree with you on TWOK, however, partly because it did what I just said above: picked up from an episode, partly because it did it so well (humanizing the characters made all the difference given the aging of the actors), and partly because that film likely saved the entire franchise.

[@Kamenriderneo]

4:40 In the movie's defence, the motionnal chip was first introduced in the later seasons of The Next Generation serie. It was a Brent Spiner centric episode as he played both Data, his brother Lore and their creator, Dr Soon. In the episode, Soon gave Data the chip with plans to pursue this plot later on in the show but it was cancelled before they could. So they added it in the movie instead.

[@domtaylor1887]

I will not lie, I think this film is underrated. Good Points: The humor with Data, Kirk and Picard teaming up, the action, Malcom McDowell, The opening, Data's Life Forms song. Bad Points: The boring exposition, the pointless Klingon villains, Killing off Kirk (I heard he came back in some Star Trek novels), The part where Picard first goes into the Nexus (Seriously, who has that many kids? Extended family maybe? Don't know or care), Kirk's inconsistencies as a character (which the Critic points out at 18:35-18:45), the inconsistencies with the uniforms (they keep switching from the TNG ones to the DS9 ones with no explaination or acknowledgement. Pick one design and stick with it, don't keep flip-floping) Also two points he misses in the review: 12:38- You can't beam into a force field, it is a fact of the show. 13:05-13:15- They explain in the movie why he doesn't do that, the ribbon would tear his ship apart.

[@SpockLover27]

I personally have always liked William Shatner, and George Takei is known for spreading vicious lies about him, so...

[@SciFiFan2012]

Bone Collector source for that, or just an opinion? As much as I like Shatner, he was known for being a douchebag in the Trek era.

[@cjwrench07]

But, his accusations were confirmed by other cast members later on. Leonard Nimoy, was big on letting people know what kind of douchebag Shatner was on and off set. The same with Douhan and Nichelle. Maybe, source your “viscous lies” accusation, from someone other than Shatner, or people who need his good graces for continued fame/income.

[@jeanleon1637]

The uniforms in this movie pissed me off. I get that they were in the process of changing the TNG uniforms with the DS9 uniforms, and they probably had a lot of the former lying around, but is it really that hard to get new uniforms for everyone?

[@DelcoRanz93]

They Did make new Uniforms specifically for this movie but they were dropped at the last minute.

[@SciFiFan2012]

Starfleet2360 I remember because when the film changed uniforms, the Playmates Trek figures had the new versions of them!

[@SkyCharger001]

I've seen the same situation with military uniforms... apparently you don't get the new version until your current one becomes too aged.

[@skyslasher2297]

Actually Spot the was a big part of Data’s character

[@jordanneal576]

I actually like Generations.

[@GamerFromJump]

Imagine if there was a scene set 600 years in the future, where they show some _very_ surprised astronauts from Veridian IV.

[@JRGProjects]

We meet Picard's family in the show after his encounter with the Borg, he goes home to reconnect with his humanity and they died. Plus the uniforms are undergoing a transition from TNG to DS9 which is going on during this movie.

[@vinnyc.1265]

"Data can we blah blah blah the technobabble? Maybe, if we yadda yadda yadda, there's a chance it will boomity boomity. It is very unlikely that it will homona homona, but will give it a shot, and course it'll work." Lmao. 13:34

[@paulderosa3065]

20:05 That’s almost exactly what Dr.Strange did!

[@OverlordZephyros]

you cant beam inside a force field or shields... thats obvious

[@TheSithLibraryArchivesGalactic]

Thank you.. Saved me from having to comment about that fact as well. :D

[@thediscostu4127]

I love how in one shot Data is talking to Dr. Crusher on the sea ship and then he shoves her and it cuts to Lyta Alexander from Babylon 5 wearing the same outfit falling into the water. Movie magic!

[@SirRunt412]

"Picard to Farragut." What'd you call me? omfg lol

[@scottlafferty6857]

Since this was only set a few years after the TNG ep relics, I always wonder if Picard told Scotty about Kirk's real death or if he went on believing he died saving the Enterprise B?

[@david3430100]

2:39 that part killed me :D

[@sireugeneyt]

4:00 Okay what happened? I think I missed something but did Star Trek just go from spaceship to 1700's people on a boat?

[@sireugeneyt]

Darkling276 So that's what Holodecks do? Simulations? For awhile I thought the Holodeck was either where they went to control the spaceship or where the holograms project from. Never seen a Star Trek episode or movie.

[@michaelgarofalo6231]

+Eugene how the hell does holodeck equal the bridge?

[@sireugeneyt]

Michael Garofalo Like I said, I've never seen Star Trek before.

[@michaelgarofalo6231]

+Eugene I know but mate common ship lingo is that bridge = main control centre

[@sireugeneyt]

Michael Garofalo Good point. I associated the "ship" with an airplane. Probably should have though about that.

[@devildavin]

I forgot the name of the Room Data and picard used to track Sauron but they use it quite a bit on Voyager

[@водкачеловек-б1б]

Stellar cartographer

[@clintonwilcox4690]

devildavin It's actually Soren, not Sauron. I know that Nostalgia Critic kept pronouncing it that way, but his name is Tolian Soren.

[@CruelestChris]

Clinton Wilcox No, it's Sauron, Critic and Mr. Plinkett are authorities on the matter.

[@MisterNinten]

BOBsmithISaPERSON I think that is astrometrics.

[@JRGProjects]

Astrometrics is stellar cartography on steroids which was mentioned in VOY: Year of Hell Part 1, it includes Borg technology and can map accross the entire Delta Quadrant

21:30 idk why i just bust a gut laughing at Dougs squeal lol

[@spinningchrysalis4061]

This movie was the product of a period when Next Generation was really running out of steam. In its last season, a lot of the writers had already left for Deep Space Nine or the soon-to-premiere Voyager. The remaining writers seem to have struggled to produce enough scripts for a season AND a series finale AND a movie slated to come out just six months after the series wrapped. The series finale worked out brilliantly. The regular season is mostly remembered for some infamously strange episodes: ideas that either needed some reworking or should have just been discarded. And the movie became... this. It didn't help that, by the time they were shooting the movie, the actors were also very tired.

[@nightmarefuelgamer8981]

Come to find out,the"Nexus"she was talking about,was her kissing Demi Moore in Ghost.

Captain Picard and Kirk never left the Nexus.

[@nothri]

I can go one better! I know where that picture comes from!

[@afoxinaviators4105]

Why are holodecks improbable? Warp Engines, Massive Ships with massive shields, laser weaponry, and holodecks are the improbable things? Mmkay...

[@CruelestChris]

AFoxInAviators Did he say any of those things were probable?

[@afoxinaviators4105]

No, but he specifically selected holodecks and called them 'the most improbable'.

[@CruelestChris]

AFoxInAviators Well, they are. You wouldn't give a military starship a recreational system that has a habit of killing the crew, that's both fantastical and dumb.

[@afoxinaviators4105]

Very good points. But a shield also creates matter out of nothing, and I find warp drives even more improbable. But that's just me.

[@johnwolf2349]

@@CruelestChris 1: The Galaxy class ship is not military. It has nurseries and schools too, so why not holodecks? 2: that only happens if the safeties are disabled, and that's usually either on purpose or a symptom of a much larger problem with the computer system. 3: Yes, Holodecks are probably more likely for us to actually invent at some point than warp drives.

[@alyssinwilliams4570]

Personally, I think Data pushing Crusher off the ship was hilarious

[@DigitalJediMaster]

I remember a bunch of friends and acquaintances went to see the same showing as I did when this came out, and this one particular dude, who for some reason I'd run into for the second time at the same theater for another movie, was once again standing outside the theater criticizing how badly the crash scene looked. He said, had the people who'd done Star Wars done it, it would have looked more realistic. Special Effects provided by Industrial Lights & Magic. It was my first experience with the proto version of what would one day become The Internet Troll.

[@DokkaChapman]

This was actually the first Star Trek film I ever saw. It was playing around xmas time when I was a kid and had only really seen a few episodes of TNG by that point. It's actually one of my favourites of the film franchise. :)

[@tahunuva4254]

The crash scene here is much better than in the new film.

[@usshypernova4199]

Tahu Nuva i'm afraid to say this, but the crash scene is better in beyond.

[@usshypernova4199]

Even though this is still great, even if the only trek movies I've ever seen is the reboot trilogy. You can't take seriously the old ones... especially (you will be all shocked trekkies) wrath of khan: for me Benedict cumberbatch's khan is more threatening than Ricardo montalban but both of them give a good performance. Also the vengeance is more powerful and good looking than the reliant. And the warp battle is more exiting than the mutara nebula. Of course this is my opinion, and I can avoid the plot holes.

[@whyareyoureadingmynickname8158]

I liked Benedict's Khan, but i felt that he was trying too hard to be menacing, and he didn't really feel human, unlike Montalban's Khan. But i respect your opinion.

[@usshypernova4199]

Why are you reading my nickname? I kinda agree with you, I've never seen wrath of khan, I saw the ship battles on KZbin, but I found them boring in confront of the drop scene from the j.j. Star Trek. In those scene the fact that Ricardo montalban was human, for me, it makes him less menacing. Benedict cumberbatch is a calculating, power hungry superhuman who wants revenge against Marcus and the federation and shows in a scene his emotional side for his crew, which justifies his behavior in "into darkness". Also, I don't know if I mentioned it before, but Benedict's khan at least could achieve one of his two goals: taking revenge on Marcus in a very gory way, but couldn't still take revenge on the federation. Ricardo montalban on the other side had the goal of having revenge against Kirk, and I bet my ass that Spock's death wasn't in his plan. Sorry if I'm hard now, but I consider jj abrams' Star Trek the best Star Trek movie ever, then it's up to you to decide. G'night

[@whyareyoureadingmynickname8158]

No hard feelings, to each their own.

[@troyandrew6154]

He forgot to mention data's best line: "oh, shit!"

[@JohnnyZenith]

I remember being embarrassed and actually appalled at this movie. I still am.

[@christhornycroft3686]

My favourite of all the Star Trek movies. Yes, it's cheesy and hokey and has some plot issues, but seeing it for the first time at age 15, I loved it - and I wasn't much of a Trekkie. You don't have to have a brilliant script when you have familiar, likeable characters and you occasionally give them something interesting to do. That isn't always the case here, but I've seen far worse science fiction movies than Generations. I like that they explored more of Data's character and made him different from the TV series. They did a lot of things right with this movie, but it does have its drawbacks as described above.

[@archentity]

''They tried forcing my name to Toby.." Lmao! This man is a fool!

[@parachpbama4372]

I LOVE Sauron from the X-Men comics! Wasn't that when they were trapped in the place? The name escapes me. I remember he could hypnotize people

Savage Land

[@itsjessie2004]

Believe it or not when the Enterprise crashed that was actually in live action cool right

[@yoda908]

Too bad Hollywood will not adapt the books that Shatner wrote set in a different timeline that also features Picard and Kirk. Since the Kelvin timeline exists it is possible. And honestly the best TOS and Next Generations crossover was with Scotty. Especially when he teaches La Forge. "Do you mind a little advice? Starfleet captains are like children. They want everything right now and they want it their way. But the secret is to give them only what they need, not what they want." Also in fairness Picard was completely against bringing children on a star fleet starship if I recall. He's the type that is a father figure to his crew but at the same time not an asshole like Kirk is. He knows when he needs to be a captain.
