- 75Entertainment WeeklyLisa SchwarzbaumEntertainment WeeklyLisa SchwarzbaumThe pleasure of any Star Trek movie lies in experiencing the familiar mixed with the inventive.
- Star Trek: Generations is a successful entry in the series, and a darn good film on its own.
- 67Tampa Bay TimesSteve PersallTampa Bay TimesSteve PersallParamount prefers to think of Star Trek: Generations as the first of a new film series, rather than the seventh act of the old, but prior knowledge of the saga definitely is a necessity. It's a movie filled with punchlines that depend on the audience knowing the set-ups. [18 Nov. 1994, p.3]
- 63ReelViewsJames BerardinelliReelViewsJames BerardinelliGenerations spends its running length searching for, and never completely finding, its niche.
- 63USA TodaySusan WloszczynaUSA TodaySusan WloszczynaGenerations feels like a flimsy device to ensure Trek's earnings continue to live long and prosper. [19 Nov. 1994, p.1D]
- 60The New York TimesJanet MaslinThe New York TimesJanet Maslin"Generations" is predictably flabby and impenetrable in places, but it has enough pomp, spectacle and high-tech small talk to keep the franchise afloat. And in an age when much fancier futuristic effects can be found elsewhere, even its tackiness is a comfort.
- 60Washington PostRita KempleyWashington PostRita KempleyA flawed but funky adventure.
- 50Chicago Sun-TimesRoger EbertChicago Sun-TimesRoger EbertHere is a movie so concerned with in-jokes and updates for Trekkers that it can barely tear itself away long enough to tell a story. From the weight and attention given to the transfer of command on the Starship Enterprise, you'd think a millennium was ending - which is, by the end of the film, how it feels.
- 40Chicago ReaderJonathan RosenbaumChicago ReaderJonathan RosenbaumAt least the special effects and outer space vistas are more handsome than usual.
- 40EmpireAngie ErrigoEmpireAngie ErrigoDevoted Trekkers will have to see it to keep abreast of the ships’ logs, but Saturday night at the flicks fun-seekers are apt to concur this one only fires on stun.
