The pleasure of any Star Trek movie lies in experiencing the familiar mixed with the inventive. - 67
Austin Chronicle
Star Trek: Generations is a successful entry in the series, and a darn good film on its own. - 67
Tampa Bay Times
Paramount prefers to think of Star Trek: Generations as the first of a new film series, rather than the seventh act of the old, but prior knowledge of the saga definitely is a necessity. It's a movie filled with punchlines that depend on the audience knowing the set-ups. [18 Nov. 1994, p.3] - 63

Generations spends its running length searching for, and never completely finding, its niche. - 63

Generations feels like a flimsy device to ensure Trek's earnings continue to live long and prosper. [19 Nov. 1994, p.1D] - 60
The New York Times
"Generations" is predictably flabby and impenetrable in places, but it has enough pomp, spectacle and high-tech small talk to keep the franchise afloat. And in an age when much fancier futuristic effects can be found elsewhere, even its tackiness is a comfort. - 60
Washington Post
A flawed but funky adventure. - 50
Chicago Sun-Times
Here is a movie so concerned with in-jokes and updates for Trekkers that it can barely tear itself away long enough to tell a story. From the weight and attention given to the transfer of command on the Starship Enterprise, you'd think a millennium was ending - which is, by the end of the film, how it feels.
