Summary
- Star Trek Generations featured three versions of the USS Enterprise in different time periods and in the holodeck, making it the movie with the most Enterprise variations.
- Captain Kirk dies at the end of the film and has never been resurrected in the franchise's canon.
- The USS Enterprise-D, the flagship of the United Federation of Planets in Star Trek: The Next Generation, is destroyed, but its destruction is later reversed in Star Trek: Picard season 3.
Star Trek Generations featured three vessels named Enterprise in two different time periods and in the holodeck. The first film starring the cast of
Star Trek: The Next Generation, Star Trek Generations' big draw was the historic team-up of Captain Jean-Luc Picard (Patrick Stewart) and Captain James T. Kirk (William Shatner) from Star Trek: The Original Series. Captain Kirk also died at the end of Star Trek Generations, a demise the franchise has held firm to as Kirk has never been resurrected in canon.
Captain Kirk was brought to the 24th century by the Nexus, an other-dimensional ribbon of energy where the rules of time and space don't apply. Kirk and Picard team up to stop Dr. Tolian Soran (Malcolm McDowell), an El-Aurian madman willing to destroy a star system in order to return to the Nexus. Soran encounters two different versions of the Starship Enterprise in two different time periods, while a third Enterprise manifests on the USS Enterprise-D's holodeck. Star Trek Generations actually boasts the most versions of the Enterprise to appear in a Star Trek movie, something that wouldn't be topped until multiple Enterprises appear in Star Trek: Picard season 3.
