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".

FC not ageing well? It looks like it was made a couple of years ago - not 11 years.

"I would be happy for Star Trek to come along decades later with a new group of minds. I'd love someone to say, 'Besides this one, Gene Roddenberry's was nothing!'" - Gene Roddenberry

"...I think it would be wonderful years from now to see Star Trek come back with an equally talented new cast playing Spock and Kirk and Bones and Scotty and all the rest, as they say tomorrow's things to tomorrow's generations..." - Gene Roddenberry

Sorry, but Generations sucks.

The nexus is the single worst/most convuleuted plot device in the history of Star Trek.

Plus, Kirk's death was the worst ending of any major character ever.
