C

Details Movie Rated: PG; Genres: Action/Adventure, Sci-fi and Fantasy; With: F. Murray Abraham, LeVar Burton, Michael Dorn, Jonathan Frakes and Gates McFadden...; Distributor: Paramount Pictures

Next Generation fans might be captivated by this latest sequel, but if you're only a casual Trekker you'll feel a little disoriented, as if you forgot to read your Roddenberry Cliffs Notes. You'll grasp that Picard and crew are trying to save a beleaguered extraterrestrial community, in a story punctuated by shipboard romance and Data's consternation over the whole emotion thing. Basically a good rental choice for anyone stirred by such lines as ''Transferring positronic matrix functions!'' C
