 The only "Star Trek" film featuring "The Next Generation" cast that  had to use props and styluses (phasers, tricorders, PADDs, etc.)  from the television series. In  _Star Trek: First Contact (1996)_ (qv), the props had been subtly  updated. (and were eventually used on both  _"Star Trek: Deep Space Nine" (1993)_ (qv), and  _"Star Trek: Voyager" (1995)_ (qv)).
