Synopsis
In the year 2293, Kirk, Scotty and Chekov reunite for a ceremony celebrating the launch of the brand new U.S.S. Enterprise NCC-1701-B. (Wait—isn’t this a film about the crew of the Enterprise-D?) But on its maiden voyage, the Enterprise-B must attempt to rescue the passengers of a pair of vessels that have become ensnared in an “energy ribbon”—a deadly space phenomenon. The rescue attempt is only partly successful, and the fateful encounter will resonate through the decades to impact upon the lives of Captain Picard’s crew in the 24th century, where a man named Tolian Soran threatens to take the lives of millions of innocent people unless two Enterprise captains can stop him.

Review
Although the film did feature the hallmark meeting of both Captain Kirk and Captain Picard. the film suffers from a story that is written like an extended special episode for 'The Next Generation' series.

Rating
3/5 Stars
