Star Trek: First Contact
II times IV equals VIII
This movie combines aspects of two of the better-regarded TOS movies. Â Star Trek II had a returning villain from the television series, as this movie has the return of the Borg. Â Star Trek IV had a humor-filled (but Earth-saving) fish-out-of-water trip to the past, which this movie also includes.
Followup to IV?
Sometimes I like to think of this movie as the "next generation" to Star Trek IV. Â Though the time difference between TOS and TNG depends on which specific times one is comparing, if we go by the difference used in Generations briding the then-presents of both series, it was 78 years. Â Star Trek IV's time travel was to 1984, so an additional 78 years would bring things to 2062. Â This movie takes place primarily in 2063.
