Nearly eighty years later the Enterprise-D of Captain Picard (Patrick Stewart) turns up at a science station that has been attacked by the Romulans. There they encounter the mysterious Dr Soran (Malcolm McDowell) who was also present when Kirk died on the Enterprise-B. Soran wants to return to the Nexus, a strange ribbon of energy that exists outside of normal time and space.
Unfortunately the only way to do it will result in millions of innocent deaths. Picard finds it impossible to stop Soran alone and needs help... help in the form of Kirk who is still alive and well and in the Nexus...
Although uneven at times this is a solid entry in the Star Trek series. The effects are decent though where the film really scores (as usual with Trek at it's height) is with the humanity. A theme of the film, which both Kirk and Picard portray, is the loneliness that comes from being in that chair, the chair of the captain of the Enterprise. However together they did something pretty great, again.
