To many fans and critics, the Star Trek: The Next Generation movies represent a series of missteps that never approached the heights of the show’s best moments. Part of this is because The Next Generation was at its heart a pretty cerebral show (once memorably described as “committee meetings in space”), a format ill-suited to blockbuster formula. But that argument doesn’t entirely hold, since within the series itself there were plenty of episodes–“Redemption,” “Best of Both Worlds,” and “Yesterday’s Enterprise,” to name a few–that allowed the characters to kick ass without fundamentally changing their natures. All of which is to say that Nick Acosta’s “Cinerama” widescreen-style renderings of classic TNG episodes (a follow-up to his previous treatment of the original series) represent a speculative glimpse into a film series that might have been, perhaps in an alternate timeline.
