This was the movie that formally handed the baton from the ‘old crew’ to the TNG crew. It seems to be viewed by many as one of “the bad ones” (in the pretty consistent ‘good film-bad film’ flip-flop). But for me it’s one of my personal favourites, neatly blending the old and the new in a novel and inventive way. It includes the death of an icon (“Oh My” – great trivia question!) and the most spectacular demise of the Enterprise put onto film.

Patrick Stewart adds his usual RSC gravitas, and the scenes between him and Shatner are great fun. As Commander Data getting a dose of feelings from his ’emotion chip’, Brent Spiner is also great. The rest of the TNG crew get a mixed amount of air time, with the lovely Marina Sirtis putting in a great performance – particularly during the crash scene – but with Gates McFadden getting little other than an early bath!

The movie’s not without its issues though. Some the scenes – particularly one in ‘stellar cartography – could do with a lot of tightening up. This was director David Carson’s feature debut, after some previous Trek TV experience, and a more experienced movie director might have achieved an even better outcome.

"screened a print of it for the crew before we started, because that’s a film that not enough people have seen on the big screen. It’s an almost perfectly made film. It’s one of the great American movies and people don’t quite realize how great it is — probably because it’s four hours long!"
