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 Scooby, but I was not one of those fans who thought FIRST CONTACT was better. FIRST CONTACT ruined the BORG and the plot was so A to B to C.

Generations is a movie with a larger theme. People keep bashing the Nexus plot device because they just don't get the theme of the movie. I shall try to keep this simple, so you FIRST CONTACT fans can follow along..

The NEXUS represents heaven, Narvana. It takes over our lives so much, we neglect our purpose to live. THAT is what the movie is about.

The movie has three major characters with Kirk, Soran and Picard playing out different parts of the same theme. That theme is 'time' and how we think of it. The Nexus, where time doesn't exist, is the perfect magnet for all three of them...

I can understand how that is hard to grip for some of those in this crowd. But that is okay. The ANIMATED SERIES is now out on DVD for those who need more simple plots like, well, First Contact.

First Contact RUINED the Borg by giving them a queen to speak for them. Totally gutted what made the Borg so scary in the first place.

The REVENGE theme of Picards, and the Moby Dick references, were already done in Star Trek, and in a much better movie...oh...yeah...I forgot. That A.D.D.problem some of you have must have been kicking in....

Sorry...GENERATIONS ages like sweet wine. FIRST CONTACT is what it is..a cartoon for the masses. I expected more from this fan base. Bush's NO CHILD LEFT BEHIND montra just isn't working in our school system I guess..

Chaotic...
