Star Trek: Generations
There were only two ways for "classic Trek" cast members to appear in a movie with the cast of Star Trek: The Next Generation: either Capt. Kirk and his contemporaries would have to be very, very old, or there would be some time travel involved in the plot. Since geriatric heroes aren't very exciting, Star Trek: Generations unites Capt. Kirk (William Shatner) and Capt. Jean-Luc Picard (Patrick Stewart) in a time-jumping race. When the just-retired Kirk is happily trapped in the timeless purgatory of the Nexus, Picard must convince him to leave this artificial comfort zone and confront Dr. Soran (Malcolm McDowell), the madman who will threaten billions of lives. Passing the torch to the Next Generation with dignity and entertaining adventure, the movie isn't going to please everyone with its somewhat hokey plot, but it still ranks as a worthy big-screen launch for Picard and his stalwart crew.
Star Trek: First Contact
Even-numbered Star Trek movies tend to be better, and this one (number eight in the popular movie series) is no exception--an intelligently handled plot involving the galaxy-conquering Borg and their attempt to invade Earth's past, alter history, and "assimilate" the entire human race. Time travel, a dazzling new Enterprise, and capable direction by Next Generation alumnus Jonathan Frakes makes this one rank with the best of the bunch. Capt. Picard (Patrick Stewart) and his able crew travel back in time to Earth in the year 2063, where they hope to ensure that the inventor of warp drive (played by James Cromwell) will successfully carry out his pioneering flight and precipitate Earth's "first contact" with an alien race. Sharply conceived to fit snugly into the burgeoning Star Trek chronology, First Contact leads to a surprise revelation that marks an important historical chapter in the ongoing mission "to boldly go where no one has gone before."
Star Trek: Insurrection
Star Trek fans were decidedly mixed in their reactions to this, the ninth big-screen feature in Paramount's lucrative Trek franchise, but die-hard loyalists will appreciate the way this Next Generation adventure rekindles the spirit of the original Trek TV series while combining a tolerable dose of New-Agey philosophy with a light-hearted plot. This time out, Picard (Patrick Stewart) and his executive crew must transport to a Shangri-la-like planet to see why their android crewmate Data (Brent Spiner) has run amuck in a village full of peaceful Ba'ku artisans who--thanks to their planet's "metaphasic radiation"--haven't aged in 309 years. Many humorous asides make this film as entertaining as it is slightly disappointing. Without the laughs, this is a pretty routine entry in the franchise, with no real surprises, a number of plot holes, and the overall appearance of a big-budget TV episode. --Jeff Shannon

These are the first 3 "Next Gen" films, but there is a 4th: "Nemesis". I thought I would point this out since it cost me $20.00 on a bet as I couldn't remember what the 4th movie was. $20.00 later, I know. That's the problem with online searches, they're not always 100% correct. I guess I should've gone to StarTrek.com to make certain.
As I recall, Generations was the best of these because you had the 2 "generations" of captains playing off of each other which made for some great ... Read More

After The Classic Crew final bow in Star Trek VI The Undiscovered Country,the torch would be passed to The Next Generation crew to pick up the movie franchise.Unfortunately, after four installments,the TNG era films has yet to capture the big screen experience like the classic Trek films.
ST Generations (1994)passed the torch between the classic crew and the Next Generation.The historical meeting of Captains Kirk & Picard is what Trekkers longed for.Unfortunately,the result is a convuluted extended ... Read More

Generations is what I would consider the good movie in this set. Insurrection is a little better. The best by far is First Contact. Everything about the Borg is creepy - I love them!
If you are looking for a COMPLETE Star Trek movie boxset - I don't recommend this set. However if you simply want to just own the first 3 TNG movies - than this will do the trick. I do think all 3 movies are very well done, which is the reason for 5 stars.

If you are a Trekkie and don't have these three movies yet, it would be a good idea to get this pack. fans of the original star trek series and the first 6 star trek movies (who probably don't like the next generation much anyway) might discourage you from buying the pack. however as a fan of the next generation series and the occasional reader of the books, I found these movie to be very well done and worth owning on DVD. Generations: is the perfect transition between the original Star Trek and The Next ... Read More

Classic film making, and the Star Trek Next Generation movies are a perfect example of it. Star trek Generations, a great movie to bring in a crew with, I love it. Star trek First Contact, one word, rocks. This film blows away any of the new Star Wars movies(1 and 2). Star Trek Insurrection, it may have gotten bad reviews(go figure) but I loved it. These 3 movies never get old, I watch them over and over again. But before I stop, I would like to say that one of the reviewers said if you had all ready ... Read More
