Star Trek: Generations - Special Edition

Details

In bringing together past and present generations of Starfleet commanders, Star Trek: Generations - 2 Disc Special Edition creates the perfect arena in which two of the franchises' greatest and much-loved characters are thrown together in an attempt to save a star system.

Starring Patrick Stewart as Captain Jean Luc Picard, this terrific sci-fi movie sees retired Starfleet officers James T. Kirk (William Shatner), Montgomery Scott (James Doohan) and Pavel Chekov (Walter Koenig) as guests of honour aboard the newly christened Enterprise-B. This 2 disc special edition contains over six hours of newly created extra features, including 3 deleted scenes, a 13 minute alternative ending and 11 behind-the-scenes featurettes.

Leonard Nimoy was originally set to reprise the role of Spock during the scenes on the Enterprise-B. However, because he declined the role, the part was changed to James Doohan's character of Scotty, but the lines remained more or less the same; this explains the odd use of Scotty calling Kirk "Jim", something that only Spock or Dr. McCoy would ever have previously called him.

Years later, Captain Jean-Luc Picard and the crew of Enterprise-D rescue a physicist named Soran (Malcolm McDowell). Unbeknownst to Picard, Soran is a megalomaniac renegade who harbours a deadly plan that includes the end of millions of lives. Now Picard's only hope for a future rests within the energy ribbon, and a legendary captain from the past.

Digitally re-mastered for 5.1 surround sound and DTS, this two disc special edition box contains over six hours of new extra features.

With fantastic special effects and characters that are superbly explored, Generations is a must for Star Trek fans old and new. The two disc Star Trek : Generations – Special Edition is available to own on DVD from Paramount Home Entertainment from 20th December 2004.
