Star Trek Generations brought together the franchise's past and present for one unique film outing in 1994. Featuring various members of the original series and the returning crew of the fan-favorite television show, The Next Generation, the writers of the film sought to hand off the baton from the first crew to the next crew. Everything was coming together, with the film serving as not only a seventh film in the original series catalog of movies but also the first film for the Next Generation crew.

In the 1960s, science fiction television was changed forever by two brilliant shows, one in the U.S. and the other in the U.K. In 1963, Doctor Who revolutionized the nature of the family sci-fi serial on television, Then, in 1966, Star Trek changed the game with the first episodic sci-fi series aimed at adults with continuing characters. Six decades later, Doctor Who has outgrown its “kid show” origins, while Star Trek extended to with various spinoffs into nearly every demographic imaginable. Together, Who and Trek represent the stalwarts for what TV sci-fi can accomplish. Plus, both franchises possess similar philosophical DNA: the ethical dilemmas faced by members of Starfleet very often share parallels with the troubles encountered by the Doctor and their companions.

During its initial three-year run (1966-1969) on NBC-TV, one of the defining characteristics of Star Trek (aka Star Trek: The Original Series) was its unabashed optimism about humanity’s future and its relationship to the rest of the cosmos. Here was a science fiction series which proclaimed that by the 23rd century, humankind would all but end war, racism, violence, personal conflict, sexism (well, sort of), and more of our most grievous failings, so that it could soar into the stars as part of a galactic consortium (the United Federation of Planets) of like-minded races and civilizations.

In terms of how we view science fiction movies today, the 1980s was easily the most influential and formative decade. But, interestingly enough, by 1983 after the release of Return of the Jedi, the massive influence of the Star Wars franchise on blockbuster sci-fi movies had morphed into a new phenomenon: the anti-Star Wars sci-fi epic. 1984’s Dune and 1986’s Aliens are two great examples of this miniature trend, a moment where great directors like David Lynch and James Cameron attempted to wrest the storytelling themes and aesthetics of space-based sci-fi cinema away from the Star Wars mold. And sandwiched smack-dab in the middle of this moment was a cult flick that bombed in 1985, but went on to become a classic.
