Star Trek: Generations was released in 1994 as the seventh movie based on the 1960s science-fiction TV series. The movie featured the novelty of including not just Captain Kirk and cast members of the original "Star Trek" show, as had the previous "Star Trek" movies, but Captain Picard and the entire crew of "Star Trek: The Next Generation" also appeared in the film. Since "Generations" appeared in theaters, the franchise has produced five more movies, and two more TV series, proving perhaps that Trekkies, like the characters of "Star Trek" themselves, live forever.
