Original theatrical release: 1994
The seventh movie based on
Star Trek featured an appearance from
William Shatner, along with two other Original Series cast members (
Walter Koenig and
James Doohan), but, more importantly, it marked the debut of the
Next Generation crew on the big screen. The double-disc set contains numerous tantalizing bonus features, including some famous deleted scenes. For example, there was a famous scene featuring
Captain Kirk performing orbital skydiving that was shot for the opening of the movie but was eventually cut. Early publicity stills from the movie, along with descriptions in the novelization, featured this scene and only served to whet the appetites of those wanting to see more.
