Star Trek: The Next Generation was cancelled in its seventh season so they could go on to make films. The reasons being the cost of the series and paying the actors was too high and making films would be cheaper and reap in more money, and the Original Series crew had gotten too old to be in films anymore.
The Next Generation movies are noted for being not particularly good to downright bad. "Generations" was met with lukewarm reaction, "First Contact" received glowing reviews and was well received, "Insurrection" was viewed as not being particularly good, and "Nemesis" received a bad response. Essentially: Ok, Good to Great, Bad, Terrible.

The challenge here is to make the Next Generation films better, and the what if derives from that.
