Trek fans may be more forgiving, but, for the rest of us, the sluggish STAR TREK GENERATIONS is a mixed bag at best. The story is interesting, but each scene goes too long. The cast is earnest, but the direction lacks punch. And so on. (The best example of the latter is a Klingon comeuppance that delivers none of the impact of a similar scene in STAR TREK II.) Original Enterprise captain James T. Kirk appears on both ends of the story, though they cut the scene where Shatner turns to the screen to plead "get a life." Remarkably unremarkable. Grade: B-
