The seventh Star Trek feature passed the torch to a new crew. Decades after the original "Trek," the skipper of the fourth USS Enterprise is Jean-Luc Picard (Patrick Stewart), who investigates a massacre at a science outpost. The only survivor is Dr. Soran (Malcolm McDowall), who perpetrated the event to cover up his invention: a bomb he launches into a nearby sun, exploding it. As Soran escapes with Klingon cronies, Picard learns that Soran's plan is to summon a heavenly energy ribbon called the Nexus. Those who enter it live forever with every wish fulfilled. Attempting to stop Soran, Picard ends up inside the Nexus, where he discovers former captain James T. Kirk (William Shatner), believed to have been killed in an accident 78 years earlier. ~ Karl Williams, All Movie Guide

What stood to be the biggest of the Star Trek movies (though it didn't turn out that way) has been given acceptable treatment, but little more, on DVD. The first appearance of the Enterprise-D in widescreen is very impressive, and it will look great on big-screen monitors, and the producers have seen to it that the sound effects will test the tolerance of any home amplifier along with the accompanying speakers. The movie has been broken down into 16 chapters, which seems a little skimpy on a film of this length. The menu opens automatically, but there are no special features (not even a trailer) of any consequence. ~ Bruce Eder, All Movie Guide
