And so we move from the old to the new. Well, at least to the 90's. This is a pretty decent film and a good transition from the original series to the Next Generation.Admiral Kirk (William Shatner), Scottie (James Doohan), and Chekov (Walter Koenig) are invited to the launch of a new Enterprise, under the command of a new captain when they get a distress call from a ship caught in an energy ribbon. They respond and manage to save some of the passengers, including a man named Soran (Malcolm McDowell) but Captain Kirk is lost. Seventy years later, Captain Picard (Patrick Stewart) receives some terrible personal news at the same time as yet another distress signal, this time from a star observatory. They find the same man, Soran, as the only survivor of a vicious attack by Klingons. Engineer Geordi (LeVar Burton) thinks something is off about the attack and seeks to re-examine the site. Soran kidnaps him and escapes to the Klingon ship. The Enterprise crew learns from Guinan (Whoopi Goldberg), who was one of the original survivors, that Soran wants to return to the ribbon because it keeps the inhabitants in a state of perpetual happiness outside of normal time and space. In order to get inside, Soran destroys a planet with millions of living beings to distort the path of the ribbon. Picard gets sucked up with him and must then confront his greatest desire and convince Kirk to also give up his personal fantasy. Together, the two captains must change the past to save the future.
Holy shit, you guys. It is really hard to concentrate when you have tiny gremlins behind you watching Veggie Tales, The Chipmunk Adventure, Pokemon: Indigo League, and Ice Age: Collision Course. It's been a long weekend.
