New Version of Original Generations Ending Available for Download

Features

By GustavoLeao / 10:59, 18 August 2007 / Star Trek: Nemesis

The brazilian Trek Brasilis website made available online a new version of the original ending of Star Trek Generations, in which Kirk is shot in the back by Soran, for download. This completed version of the ending was found in a rare workprint of the movie.

This new version is completely finished, featuring a temp score music (from the movie Dance with Wolves) and all the post-production special effects from Industrial Light and Magic are in place. In this version, for example, you can see the Nexus approaching the mountain top and you can also see Soran's missile exploding in the horizon of the Veridian III valley after Picard altered its course. There is also a bit of dialogue with Kirk and Picard before the captain's death. This version is also better edited, since it was the version presented to test screenings by Paramount.

None of these post-production elements feature in the version of the original ending found in the Special Edition DVD of Generations. The DVD version has no special effects and no music and the editing is not finished.

You can download the video AVI (Divx) with 17,1 Mb and 7 min 37 s
at Trek Brasilis.

UPDATE : You can now watch the entire new version of the ending at YouTube.

UPDATE 2 : TrekCore also posted this rare Generations footage for download. Scroll down to the bottom of the page for the download link of "Alternate Ending II".

Sorry, I disagree.

Generations was a wonderful movie, the best TNG movie, beatifully directed by David Carson and featuring wonderful acting by Shatner, Stewart and a menacing Malcolm McDowell as Soran. Plus, the best of the best of FX from ILM and a beatifull musical score by Dennis MaCarthy. And Kirk's death did not bother me - he died a hero, a very human hero and Shatner played that scene with a lot of emotion. A great movie, indeed.

Have to disagree with you..and when comparing GENERATIONS to the other TNG movies, it wins hands down...

And as for the plot device? The NEXUS was a great plot device. Incase you missed it, the movie isn't so much about what you are seeing, but what the movie is about. The NEXUS is no different than heaven. It is a place that too many people put too much stock into than instead of their real lives.

That is the message of the entire movie. I am just so sorry it didn't have a clear cut, follow the dotted line plot like First Contact or Nemesis. But, we all have our different cups of tea I suppose...
