Star Trek Generations - The Nexus / A Christmas Hug

[Andrew28b]

I play this song while paying my respects in wolf 359 on star trek online

[wolverine27741]

Loved this creative scene in the movie we all should have a nexus when,we pass

[RFKFANTS67]

@LoadMySTG44 I truly hope it will be :} See everyone we cared about, and for me,..too meet the late Reno air race pilot Jimmy Leeward lost this past september 16nth

[courtgizzle]

Wow too bad Capt Kirk didn't have the time to se Spock and bones in the nexus

[RFKFANTS67]

@courtgizzle  Or his son David for that matter...

[captaint1000]

@LoadMySTG44 just my thought on that too

[captaint1000]

This music brings a tear to my eye and I'm usually one cynical bastard.

[StarFleetCommand3]

@LoadMySTG44 a big strip of bacon in space that teleports you into a dream world where anything is possible

[silpheed101]

if there was a real nexus, i will take my beloved girlfriend there, so she can reunited with her mom and her childhood kitty, i know she will be happy there, if nexus doesn't permit me to enter, i can live w/ that because she will only know the joys of life but i may never see her again. i can live in hell knowing she is in heaven.

[Yobbie72]

@silpheed101 OK, you sound like you need to look after your own chi first, dude.

[silpheed101]

@Yobbie72 well u sound like my brother and alot of my guy friends who live by tom leykis rules

[NightWanderer31415]

This is one of the most compelling and beautiful scores I`ve ever heard in a movie. The way it builds up from that dark and awe-inspiring beginning to the beautiful finale... I feel it really gets to the whole point of being alive. I think the Darkness only exists so one might better appretiate the Light that comes after it... and this song kinda reminds me of that...

[davetherave1701]

@NightWanderer31415 Totally agree brilliant score sums up the scene perfectly

[TheDEATHSTARIII]

the nexus didnt always make much sense but was a good idea in concept. its things like how do u get out of Nexus that bothered me?

[avarice117]

@TheDEATHSTARIII  maybe just bear with me here what if it wasn't reality and picard was still in the nexus. Thus making it a overblown fantasy i often wondered how they got out as well i need to see the movie again *grabs popcorn*

[TheDEATHSTARIII]

@avarice117 interessting but it would make first contact, insurection and nemesis in the dream nexus world too

[woofbiteme]

Picard was a sissy. He should have been played by somebody with hair.

[calvinlig]

@woofbiteme Why,because he was upset about his family being killed?your an idiot.

[courtgizzle]

Picard was more intelligent. Kirk was more a warrior. I like them both.

[OsanBlackCat5RS]

3 people where pulled from the Nexus

[ScottishAtheist]

Hair at the back of my neck stands up listening to this. Great track.

[xJoSephhhhh]

I agree w/ that it's a shame the rest of the movie didn't quite live up 2 the standard that those scenes did, I would love it if they had made generations better, included Spock & some of the other original members of the crew but kept this storyline & those scenes.

[avarice117]

Someone once told me that time was a predator that stalked us all our lives. I rather believe that time is a companion who goes with us on the journey and reminds us to cherish every moment, because it will never come again. What we leave behind is not as important as how we've lived. one of the greatest quotes to live by.

[RFKFANTS67]

If time has no meaning in the Nexus? Captian Kirk isn't really dead or the Enterprise D crew:} truly paradise

[ToyotaMKIII]

@RFKFANTS67 No, the crew did die. The planet blew up from the shockwave because the sun was destroied by the solar probe. Same type that blew up the observitory where they found Scoran. Watch the movie, you can see the crew running away as the shockwave hits them.

[Dailybread5]

4:32 my favorite part.

The whole thing is beautiful though.

[hsharrott]

This is my 2nd favorite score next to the intro theme. I love how the intro starts out softly with a bottle of wine spinning then builds to a bottle smashing climax.

[FoxMcCloud2364]

1:30 - 4:05 my favorite part of this soundtrack score. So beautiful, makes me want to cry :'(

[1981kerr]

I lost my mum the other day and i would give everything to go into the nexus for one more hug and good bye.

[Ironyumi5]

@1981kerr im very very sorry, i dont think i could listen to this music after something like this, i'd kill me.

[1981kerr]

@Ironyumi5 thanks for your comment, i close my eyes while listining to this and imagine seeing my mum one last time and telling her how much i miss her.

[Ironyumi5]

@1981kerr this song swells up so many emotions out of now where when i listen to it so i see what you mean. I just put on my mp3 so now i can listen to it anywhere.

[vaporfreedom]

@1981kerr I am sorry for your loss =(

[MrDavidHarrison]

4:33-4:56, probably the most powerful 23 seconds of score in all of 'Trek - IMHO...

[ThoughtTraveler]

I think that the scene where Picard is in the Nexus and meets his dead nephew and the family he has always wanted is the one that has touched more people than any other in the ENTIRE Star Trek Film Series.

I think we ALL want to find a Nexus where we can go and be happy and escape this upside down - Insane Aslyum of Society that we find ourselves in.

If YOU were in the Nexus - would you return to your duty in Star Fleet.....or stay forever in happiness and bliss?

[Amar7605]

I want to play this song on my deathbed.

[1981kerr]

I have this entire film sound track but its so badly scratched its barly playable....then again i have had it for nearly ten years, nice to hear it in its original glory.

[BlueSkin100]

really beatiful music! marvellous!

[AJGreene007]

I both love and hate this Star trek movie because as Star Trek, I like it a lot and has some interesting stuff in it. I also hate this one because of the nexus thing. Everytime I watch this one, I always wish on how if there was a nexus, I'd throw myself up in it just so I can see my late beloved girlfriend and never leave her. I try to avoid watching this one because I feel saddened by the idea.

[4everinfinity]

there is..... just belive. thanks mr. MrCarthy

[ConsciousCosmic]

It begins in darkness and evolves into light.

Thank you Mr. McCarthy. Many fond memories of this piece!

[jdury]

The music that kicks in at 1:44 is so beautiful.

This part of the movie always makes me cry every time.

[AnthonyBlunt]

I taped this off the radio in the year the movie came out. Now I have finally tracked it down. Excellent music, Mr McCarthy.

[vorsdec]

i don't know what to say, but it was so emotional to me when captian picard finally met captian kirk

[anewunderstanding]

I grew up watching star trek, I have to say this movie was the most nostalgic times of my life. I rerember I was 7 when this came out in 1994, and leaving the theatre..good movie!

[mentalrectangle]

It was a decent movie, but a better Enterprise B captain and a more realistic space battle at the end would have improved it a lot.

[WC3POchannel10A]

These scenes with Picard in the Nexus with the family he never had and then with Kirk are in my mind some of the greatest in all Trek. Roddenberry always said he did not want it to be all about blinking lights and zap guns and here was a scenario that got to the heart of these characters. Great music too, I love the music very much.

[PaulDougouba]

Yes. It is sad that Picard had to give up so much for StarFleet.

I think you loose your humanity that way.l

[kakalunga]

Its the price for sitting in the Captain's chair.

[peterdepeer]

@PaulDougouba it all depends on your viewpoint.

Star Trek philosophy has a strong connection between humanity and its quest of gaining as much experiences and knowledge as possible. By doing so they are able to lift others and themselves to a higher plane by expanding their mind and horizons. Picard does just this because as a captain in StarFleet he is mapping the unknown possibilities of existence. Not having a family life is regrettable but unimportant if looked upon it in this way.

[CommanderCartwright]

Awe Inspiring!!!

[CalgarSkull]

Great music! I really like this movie I know it was not considered one of the more beloved of the series but I thought the story and action was wonderful. The whole Nexus concept was original and unique.

[DarthShinzon]

Ewoks??? This is Star Trek, not Star Wars!!!

[mikeygormley]

He knows...he's what's called a troll!!!

[tarasvoice]

Wonderful music!!! The movie is not bad but it could be better is all. I love both cues.

[TURBODORK2]

was this the one with the ewoks ?

[alcoholismb]

Why point that out? it was so obvious... You lil klingon you lol

[Lobohusker]

Generations was a good 'Season Finale.'  Weak Capt of Enterprise B btw

[catchersmitt0]

whoa, is there anything Hollywood Dramatic Voices can't do?

?????????????????

[alcoholismb]

Brilliant film sad beginning where With the tragic death of his brother, Robert, and his nephew, Rene, in 2371, Picard experienced regret at his decision not to have children.... i really love the episode where picard lives a whole life in 20 mins and learns to play flute.... definatly the best captain ever also i love startrek alot but the new film was shit tbh

[WSOR]

I wish it was too.. a place where dreams are never denied..

[TheRealYoda1]

Picard wasn't really trying to stop Soren's intentions. He was just trying to protect a planet. Remember? He offered to try and find Soren another way into the Nexus.

[Nark15]

It is...This was a story about 1 man (Soran) trying to kill himself to go to heaven to be with his family aftera near death experience.And a story about two men(Kirk&Picard) choosing to give up staying in heaven to make a difference on earth again... Brilliant parable...

[TheRealYoda1]

Except the Nexus wasn't really Heaven. It was just the next best thing if Heaven didn't exist.

[GeordieDan89]

I love that bit between 4:33 and 4:56, great soundtrack. Generations was underrated overall, some powerful stuff in this movie.

[intermender]

oh my gosh that was so nice :)

[JGoshay]

Anyone know where I can find Picard's Nexus scene? It used to be on youtube but it's been removed. I really like that scene and would like to watch it again.

I dunno, it's moving cause we all have moments where we wish life could be ideal like his moment.

[83056]

I agree

[NelterProductions]

Simply amazing

[BRUNSWICK33]

I would destroy our sun if i could get in to the nexus

[Atreyu4]

I think the composer was in some way inspired by "Lux aeterna" composed by György Ligeti... very interesting!

[intermender]

yes, the LIgeti music in 2001 is amazing! very haunting and evocative.

[JannieRosen]

The Classic/Next Gen friction aside, I enjoyed Generations for the most part. It's a particularly sad and touching movie that stresses what the Captains have lost or given up. The Nexus music is so hauntingly appropriate.

[mkabbz]

generations gets a lot of hate, but i really liked it as well. In terms of atmosphere, music composition, special effects & acting, it's really one of my favorites. it's the whole nexus experience at the end that throws the whole movie off balance.

[brianwesley28]

The best and worst part about written word is that you cannot detect any vocal articulation. That means you don't know if I am being sarcastic, or if I'm going to monitor the heavens for any such energy ribbon and try to acquire some trilithium, huh? Amargosa, the Sun, whatever. Now, where can I find some trilithium? I do have to admit that such a nexus would be quite pleasurable. You may have to make personal sacrifices, but if I like you I'll recreate you. It will only be a faxsimile, but...

[RFKFANTS67]

If only we all could have our own nexus, no more pain or suffering or love loss for anyone...almost as beautiful as the music...God Speed Admiral! Kirk

[brianwesley28]

And if I could only figure out a way to destroy the Sun and Solar System in order to climb back on board that energy ribbon to find my own personal nexus! Of course I'd have to destroy everyone else because they suck ass, but as long as I'm in my own nirvana, the rest of you clowns are disintegrated, your matter is not permitted anywhere near my energy ribbon, and Kirk stays within the nexus himself, then I'm golden. Sweet idea, RFKFANTS67. You don't mind making a sacrifice for my nirvana?

[intermender]

increasing immersive technologies are tending towards he nexus: that this immersion is being driven increasingly onwards i think is a symtom of where people would prefer to live? hee hee, end of Freudian moment ;)

[amraam7]

beautiful

[sebthehousekid]

wow amazing new age music check out my site i got some great house music with new age sounds in em from strictly rhythm
