Paramount debuts Star Trek: Generations in theaters, the first movie to primarily feature the cast of Star Trek: The Next Generation, though original Trek actors William Shatner, James Doohan and Walter Koenig reprise their roles. This movie has the most in common with the recently-ended series, with David Carson (director several well-regarded TV episodes, including the two-hour Deep Space Nine pilot) and composer Dennis McCarthy continuing in their respective roles here, though fan reactions are mixed over the death of a major character.
Paramount debuts Star Trek: First Contact in theaters, featuring the cast of Star Trek: The Next Generation directed by their own co-star, Jonathan Frakes. The movie focuses on the Borg, arguably the strongest enemy to arise from TNG, and features actors and elements of both Deep Space Nine and Voyager. This proves to be the biggest hit of the TNG crew’s tenure at the movies.
Paramount debuts Star Trek: Insurrection in theaters, featuring the cast of Star Trek: The Next Generation directed by their own co-star, Jonathan Frakes. Written by former TNG executive producer Michael Piller, the writer responsible for the fan-favorite TV two-parter The Best Of Both Worlds, this movie’s development is somewhat troubled, and its increased reliance on humor earns mixed reviews.
Star Trek: Nemesis, the fourth and final feature film of the Star Trek: The Next Generation movie franchise, premieres. Directed by Stuart Baird and co-written by Brent “Data” Spiner, Nemesis falls flat at the box office (and even before its opening day, Paramount is already promoting it as the last voyage of the Star Trek: TNG cast). The next movie in the franchise takes a radically different approach to the Star Trek universe.
