But, hey, at least he finally dies, and we are now spared any more Trek films with a crew of 80 year-old has beens. But enough of the story. After the stellar Paramount DVD release of Star Trek First Contact, expectations are high for Generations to live up to the same standard of quality. Alas, it misses that mark in terms of video quality, although the sound is up to par for the most part. The biggest drawback in terms of image quality is the lack of 16x9 enhancement.
Black level is solid throughout.
A good presentation that is mainly hampered by the lack of 16x9. The audio is better than the video, with a typically terrific 5.1 sound mix. Although Generations is a more subdued Trek film than some of the other entries, it is a great soundtrack and about the only complaint I have is the same I have with many action film soundtracks, which is that they often crank up the effects so loud, it obscures the dialogue. But, overall, a very good 5.1 mix. There is also English and French 2.0 surround versions provided, and they do sound better than the downmixed 5.1, but if you can go 5.1, by all means do it.
