Generations was ok

My only problem with Generations is the Nexus. The view inside (given it's hard to put something extremely addictive and debilitating on screen but they could have done better) but especially getting out. If you choose, you can just go out anywhere, at any point in time? That's just ass-stupid and completely breaks it for me. And even if, just for the argument's sake, you would choose to go back 20 minutes instead of going to the first station to prevent the other star from blowing? It just doesn't make any sense.

So remove that, yes the movie is fine. It has good pace, good humor, good visuals. But that's it.

You know, that would have helped. It should have been a one-way-in, one-way-out kinda thing. If I had to rewrite the movie as it was, I'd have said you could only go out the way you came in, unless you went out with someone who had a different go-in point.

So Kirk would come out with Picard in 2371 as he did in the finished film, but Soran would shoot Picard and succeed again. Kirk would then choose to emerge in 2293 with future Soran. We would flash foward to find that the 2371 portion had unhappened, and maybe even Picard's family was alive because Picard had been at home on Earth at the time to attend the state funeral -- of a 148-year-old Kirk.

Reset button? Yeah. But that's only working with what they gave me. :p
