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".

I agree, Kirk did indeed die a meaningful death and the film was great, the first Trek movie Ive seen in a theater.

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.

Agreed. Generations is the only TNG movie that has held up over the years. My only issue with the movie is the whole Nexus concept. Just so many weird aspects and unanswered questions - like why did Kirk and Picard go back to right before Soran was going to launch the rocket? Or, better yet, if that was inevitable then why have Guinan say that anyone in the Nexus can go anywhere in any time?

But when I watch the movie I don't really ask myself those questions. Well, I guess I did when I first watched it, but I've gotten over those faults and have grown to really like Generations. As Gustavo said, great special effects (the Enterprise D never looked so good), but they could've splurged on a new explosion for the Klingon BoP hehe. A great story, and McDowell was really good as was Stewart and Shatner. I mean that whole scene with Kirk and Picard could have flopped completely, but Shatner really pulled it off and sold the scene.

Anyway, Generations is the only TNG movie that actually felt like you were watching TNG. I like the movie more and more as time goes by...."Time is the fire in which Generations burns." hehehe GRRROOOAAANNN!

"I know exactly where I want to go.. I need to return to veridian 3,just before Soran destroys the star.. I have to stop him"

"Umm.. what about not changing the timeline?"

"Screw that, I need to stop him."

"Okay, then why not go back to the enterprise and arrest him there?"

"No.. I need to stop him JUST before"

"Okay.. how about I put you on the planet inside the shield.. before you go down.. he won't expect that!"

"No.. I need to stop him JUST before!!"

"Okay.. how about you go with Kirk, but I put you both behind him and you clobber him"

"No, no no.. I need to talk to him first and then we'll separate!"

"Okay.. well, if it looks like one of you is going to die.. let the Nexus hityou again befor eyou clock allthe way out.. then you can try again.."

"No.. we have to do this just once.. and if one of us dies.. that's GREAT!!'

"Fine.. meet Kirk".
