Generations receives its fair share of criticism, but it deserves credit for giving us Soran, portrayed by Malcolm McDowell. He was a haunting and chilling villain with understandable motivations and loads of charisma, and delivered a number of golden chestnuts such as, "time is the fire in which we burn" and "time is a predator," that offer profound philosophical insight.
While the movie may have its flaws, Dr. Soran's character shines as one of the greatest Star Trek villains, trapped in a film that falls short.
