As a lifelong fan of the Star Trek movie franchise ( my introduction to Trek as a child of the '80s was the movie series), it took me a while to accept the Next Generation crew. I eventually grew to love the series and the intelligent stories it told. Though you did get some episodes which were "ok" and pretty standard tv fare. This film feels to me like a decent two part episode and not much more that .Compared with earlier films featuring the original series crew,the Next Gen films feel a lot less cinematic. Perhaps because the jump from dodgy tv series look to full blown special effects movies was so huge for the original cast. I really don't get why this one is so beloved, to be honest.
