Star Trek: Generations (1994)

The handover film, and the one that most assumes you know both crews. The original series' Kirk (William Shatner) and the Next Generation's Picard (Patrick Stewart) meet in the Nexus, a strange realm outside time, and join forces to stop Malcolm McDowell's scientist from destroying a planet. Shatner and Stewart are fun together once they finally share the screen, but newcomers may struggle to care about a crew the film never properly introduces. Director David Carson came from the Next Generation TV show, and it shows. Better as a second Next Generation film, after First Contact, than a first.
