Well, you happened upon “Generations” the first TNG era film. Arguably the 2nd, 3rd, or 4th worst depending on who you talk to (I hold “Insurrection” above both “Generations” and “Nemesis,” so my opinion is expectedly skewed). “First Contact” will always reign supreme. As for Shatner, well, his approach and the time in which he performed are part of a niche unto itself. If it helps, view their stories as poorly transcribed accounts reenacted by a local troupe of actors. Add booze as necessary,
