Feels like Star Trek Generations (1994) should have been a b

Well I think a big part of it was that people imagined the the crews of original and the Next Generation joining forced together on the Enterprise or something, which is basically what the trailer made the film look like. Instead we got something of an elongated episode of The Next Generation with William Shatner as sort of a special guest star appearing in bookends along with a brief appearance by James Doohan and Walter Koenig. I think if the filmmakers had just given fans what they were hoping for (and what the trailer all but promised), the movie would have been a much bigger hit.
