 Re: ST Generations
The one thing that's always impressed me regarding 'Generation's was its use of color. Some of the scenes when the Enterprise is orbiting that observatory, with the orange light coming through the windows are just gorgeous.
I also love the changes made to the bridge for it.
Beyond that, 'Generations' is a pretty problematic film. Kirk's presence is almost entirely superfluous, which is too bad because, well, it's Kirk. Chekov and Scotty are reading dialogue obviously designed for other characters. The destruction of the Enterprise, while technically proficient, isn't set up very well at all.
Taken as individual scenes, there's a lot to like in 'Generations'... but when you put them together as a whole, it doesn't quite add up. Still, I agree, that I watch it and feel a great sense of nostalgia. It's the movie that feels the most like the TNG series, only with a much larger budget. I know people say that about the other TNG movies, but, ultimately, that's completely untrue. 'Generations', around the show's final season, using the show's production staff, is TNG in the blood.
