I just missed out on the SE Hype in 1997, as I had a bias against any movie with the word "Star" in the title.
however, in August of that year, we sat down one night to watch "Star Trek: Generations", and that lifted the above mentioned bias.
since at the time i was recovering from a broken arm and couldn't go swimming, I dug out our copies of the 1995 "Last time" pan and scan VHS and watched them over three days and was blown away. (I was even still able to be suprised by the "I am Your Father" plot, as much as anybody seeing it in 1980)
