5. Star Trek: Generations

Generations bridges two eras as Captain Picard joins forces with Captain Kirk in a quest that traverses time and memory. The movie has a deep layer about family, loss, and legacy, while moments of humor and heroism keep the adventure going.

Generations reminds us to value the time we have and the people who matter most, even as heroes move on to the next chapter. And had Rick Berman, Brannon Braga, and Ronald D. Moore not been so dead set on making this solely a Next Generation film, to say nothing of them killing off Captain Kirk, this sequel could have gone down in history as one the greatest movie events ever conceived.

Whether you’re serving up turkey or your favorite replicated meal, these Star Trek films offer inspiration, hope, and plenty of memorable moments to enjoy with your own crew. So, gather around, press play, and celebrate everything you’re thankful for in the final frontier.
