== ''The Next Generation'' films ==

The seventh film acted as a transition between the films featuring the original cast and those with the ''Next Generation'' cast. The ''Next Generation'' cast made four films over a period of eight years, with the last two performing only moderately well (''Insurrection'') and disappointingly (''Nemesis'') at the box office. Film titles of the North American and UK releases of the films no longer contained the number of the film following the sixth film (the sixth was ''Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country'' but the seventh was ''Star Trek VII: Generations''). However, European releases continued using numbers in the film titles until ''Nemesis''.

===''Star Trek VII: Generations'' (1994)===

{{Main|Star Trek VII: Generations}}

[[Jean-Luc Picard|Picard]] enlists the help of Kirk, who is presumed long dead but flourishes in an extra-dimensional realm, to prevent a deranged scientist ([[Malcolm McDowell]]) from destroying a star and its populated planetary system in an attempt to enter that realm. This film also included original crew members Scotty ([[James Doohan]]) and Chekov ([[Walter Koenig]]).

Following seven seasons of ''The Next Generation'', the next ''Star Trek'' film was the first to feature the crew of the [[USS Enterprise (NCC-1701-D)|''Enterprise''-D]], along with a long prologue sequence featuring three cast members of the original series and the only appearance of the ''Enterprise-B''.

===''Star Trek VIII: First Contact'' (1996)===

{{Main|Star Trek VIII: First Contact}}

After a failed attempt to assault Earth, the [[Borg (Star Trek)|Borg]] attempt to prevent First Contact between Humans and Vulcans by interfering with [[Zefram Cochrane]]'s ([[James Cromwell]]) warp test in the past. Picard must confront the demons which stem from his assimilation into the Collective ("[[The Best of Both Worlds (Star Trek: The Next Generation)|The Best of Both Worlds]]") as he leads the new [[USS Enterprise (NCC-1701-E)|''Enterprise''-E]] back through time to ensure the test and subsequent meeting with the Vulcans take place.

The first of two films directed by series actor [[Jonathan Frakes]].

===''Star Trek IX: Insurrection'' (1998)===

{{Main|Star Trek IX: Insurrection}}

Profoundly disturbed by what he views as a blatant violation of the Prime Directive, Picard deliberately interferes with a Starfleet admiral's ([[Anthony Zerbe]]) plan to relocate a relatively small but seemingly immortal population from a mystical planet to gain control of the planet's natural radiation, which has been discovered to have substantial medicinal properties. However, the admiral himself is a pawn in his alien partner's ([[F. Murray Abraham]]) mission of vengeance.

''Insurrection'' brought in ''Deep Space Nine'' writer Michael Piller instead of Ronald D. Moore and Brannon Braga who had written for ''Generations'' and ''First Contact''.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Giles |first=Jeff |date=July 20, 2016 |title=Every Star Trek Movie Ranked From Worst To Best |url=https://editorial.rottentomatoes.com/article/every-star-trek-movie-ranked-from-worst-to-best/ |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20171127125259/https://editorial.rottentomatoes.com/article/every-star-trek-movie-ranked-from-worst-to-best/ |archive-date=November 27, 2017 |access-date=May 23, 2018 |website=[[Rotten Tomatoes]]}}</ref>
