Star Trek VII: Generations - Nostalgia Critic 

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.

Captain James T. Kirk lived his life on the bridge. Then he died under a bridge.

Kirk's first appearance on Star Trek begins with him on the bridge and his last appearance ends with a bridge on Kirk. ^_^

I love how there's no other ship in the middle of Earth's solar system. Last time I checked, that was the heart of the Federation. There should have been dozens of ships.

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.

Kirk's last words were "That was fun. Oh my."

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)

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.

12:35 - It has been very well established over and over again that transporter beams cannot penetrate forcefields and shields. That´s kinda part of the reason they have shields in the first place. And I´m not even a Trekkie.

Rest in peace James Horner, composer of "KHAN! KHAN! KHAN! KHAN!...KHAN! KHAN! KHAN! KHAN!..."

Kirk: "This is not my beautiful house." Picard: "This is not my beautiful wife."

The Nexus............... Where you get to modify your Fallout and Skyrim games. =D

That's how Captain James T. Kirk died...!? The hell! That was weak.

One of the few more consistent rules in Star Trek is being unable to beam trough force fields.

Whew! We barely avoided a sequel, "Star Trek Generations: The Search For Spot"

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.

You, uh, can't beam through shields...

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

My Favorite lines from this Review. "OH! I Hate this! It's revolting!" "More?" "Yes please."

Surprised no Cerebro joke was made during that scene with Picard and Data in the spherical room

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.

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.

15:02 "Time for a game of disappearing bears."

How can a holo-Deck make water? What happens if you swallow that water? So many questions...

The Tom and Jerry - scream at 20:12 XD

1:20 My friend laughed that Sulu has a kid, but George Takai is gay. Why is it people always assume that characters portrayed by actors and actress' must follow the same sexuality? Someone once said that Dory and Marlon shouldn't happen because Dory's voice actress is a lesbian. WTF goes through peoples minds?

The first Star Trek movie I saw and I still do love it. Even with its problems I can go back and watch this anytime and never get bored.

Two points of order: 1. shields generally prevent transporter function 2. it was mentioned in the movie that flying into that "ribbon" with a ship is dangerous and you either die or get into the Nexus - Sauron ;) just wanted the 100% guaranteed way of course changes (however stopping stellar fusion would not have changes the gravitational effects of a star, so... )

Wait was Geordi kidnapped often? I mean I do remember a few episodes where he was kidnapped like the one where the Romulans kidnap him and brainwash him to kill a Klingon but did it happen more often than I thought.

There's also the Sorren from Legend of the Guardians: the Owls of Ga'Hoole.

It's weird how horrifically bad this movie is and how great TNG the series was.

16:57 - By the time NC said that line, all of the sudden, his brain has been 'magically beamed' out of his skull, heading towards a whole new realm where the answer to life, the whole universe and everything is 42. His vessel, shortly after the 'beaming', briefly holds his stance a little bit longer and then slumps on the table, completely still and lifeless.

"Picard to Farragut" "What'chu call me!!??" Funny stuff!

one movie that needs a full review is Star trek First Contact for Many reasons: 1. it has a Beautiful score 2. the action is fun and intriguing 3. the use of the song "magic carpet ride" is terrific 4. it is the feature film return of the Borg since Their appearances on Tng episodes those reasons and many others

Would it have made Kirk and Picard's breakfast more epic if captain Janeway and commander sisko came over for brunch.

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.

wait a minute. The emotion chip? but in one episode they burned the thing out! damn you non-canonical convenience!

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.

Picard’s nephew and brother actually ARE established characters appearing in the second episode of the 4th season “Family”. Considering how it comes immediately after the series’ first two parter (and is very connected to said two parter) I imagine they felt most audiences had seen it

"Picard to Faraget"..."what'd you call me!?" Oh man that struck me funny for some reason lol. Another thing about this movie that makes no sense is the fact that they basically made a alternate universe when they came out of the Nexus. Since time has no meaning inside it, Sauron is actually still in there. He won despite them going back.

I know it’s been a decade, but please cover the even-numbered films!

That scream when Kirk is flying down the mountain strapped to the bridge 😂😂😂

There is something comforting about these old critic videos. I cant believe I was watching these in highschool God time flies

Boomer/Spot Will Live

This was the first Nostalgia Critic video I ever watched. Memories.

nostalgia critics misery amuses me

20:12, I'm surprised he didn't go with the Goofy scream.

2:38 - should be in real movie. Made my day.

I got the Sauron X-Men reference… god, I'm such a nerd

I really like this film. I love Data in the movie (I found him hilariou), I like the plot, I like the Kirk/Picard dynamic, I like the Klingon sisters, I liked Geordie's kidnapping. I think it's wonderful

12:40 I hate to be a Linkara here, but its pretty well established that its impossible to beam anything through a shield/force field. In fact, beaming anyone/anything during a combat scenario is generally seen as pretty risky because you have to drop shields to do so.

I don't know why, but I laugh at this every time... 21:41

2:00 that line works in-universe and out.

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

I know I'm really, reeeeeealy late for this, but that scene in the cool blue room we never see again goes as such: "Why doesn't he just fly into it with a ship?" "Our records indicate that every ship that has approached the ribbon has either been destroyed or severely damaged". So...there's that...

Oh goodness. I almost died laughing. Not the best way to go while at work. "You're my hero."

I actually like Generations.

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

'All hands, brace for boobity boobity!' LMFAO

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

Actually, we saw Picard's family in the episode... Family, when they helped Picard get over his assimilation into the Borg collective, so... for the fans of the series, we knew them and were aware of their importance to Picard. Oh and technobabble is one half of the fun with Star Trek.

Eggs + toast + Kirk & Picard = parts of a complete "Trekfast"

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.

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

So.... When is Doug going to review the 'even' Star Trek films?

Ah Data, pushing off Beverly was my childhood dream. Well done.

2:39 that part killed me :D

"I've analysed Generations with a team of Scientists..."

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

Someone go fetch me a drink, cause I'm Firsty!

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?

Got a like for the "you're my hero" XD

16:29 hello boom mic's shadow *waves*

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?

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

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?

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

This ruined the whole ending of Star Trek VI. It was a perfect way for the crew of TOS to go out. They road off into the sunset, and then the actors signed their names in the ending credits. The end! We did not need to know how any of them died!

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!

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

"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

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

6:06 I GOT THAT REFERENCE! I AM HARDCORE!

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.

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.

Captain Picard and Kirk never left the Nexus.

16:41 To prevent as much change to the timeline as possible, while still stopping Sauron from ending so many lives. Which is still stupid since that would create a paradox, but meh, they've done it before.

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.

Captain on the Bridge? Bridge on the Captain.

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

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.

14:49 Anybody notice how the little girl threw the bear at the ground when being picked up?

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

You tiny little lifeforms. Where are you? Bee-doo doo doo doo Beep. Beeeeeeeep.

20:12 HAHAH! Did not expect the Tom scream to come out of nowhere

you precious little lifeforms.

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

I loved this movie. Oh, well.

14:11 - McDonald's or McDowell's? We cannot afford to anger Malcolm McDowell (cheesy Coming To America reference I know)

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. :)
