Summary: Not just the worst ST film-the worst film , EVER!
Review: Why don't they allow zero stars? Negative stars?Ok, here's the plot : A few centuries ago , a band of interstellar hippies finds an uninhabited planet. They settle there, and over time, it becomes apparent that the planet possesses healing properties, which make the Baku essentially immortal and ever youthful. Others, inside and outside Starfleet, learn of this, and these people decide to remove the Baku unwittingly to an environment identical to that of "their" planet (the Baku are not native to this planet, remember?) but without the special properties. The planet the Baku are currently on would then be used as a giant hospital for the sick and suffering of the galaxy. So there's the quandary : Should the Baku planet remain a private park for the 500-1000 or so interstellar hippies...or should it be used to cure the wounds and illnesses of uncounted sufferers throughout the universe, who cannot be helped by conventional means? Naturally, Picard decides that the Baku should have the planet <i>alllllll </i> to themselves, and tough luck to the rest of the galaxy. (So much for,"The needs of the many outweigh the needs of the one") He decides to beam down to the surface to help the Baku ward off the intruders (the more recent intruders, I should say, as the Baku are NOT indigenous to the healing planet.) And equally naturally, when the rest of the crew learns of his plans, they paste dour, determined looks on their faces and beam down too. I really, really hate this film, and I wholeheartedly agree with the reviewer who suggests this film as a feature for MST3K. Discussing all the plot holes would be pointless, and I think those reading the negative reviews will garner that it's the smug selfrighteousness of the script and the characters which make this film so unbearable. So all just mention what I found the most annoying moment : When Picard's Baku squeeze, asked if she wouldn't like to see a bit more of the universe, says,"Where would hyperdrive take us except away from here?" in the most smug , 'nah nah, I got mine' voice imaginable. I really, really, really hate this film.

Summary: please some one save Star Trek!!
Review: I have allways loved Star Trek ,but this one I am sure can't be a real Star Trek movie it must be a fake made by satan to torture us trekies . Or Maybe the "Q" had something to do with this movie,Because it's bad ,simply put. If you doubt my review than rent it or just watch it.. one of 20 times a day its on cable . However one redeaming quality of this movie is that Star Trek X has got a good shot at being a better movie than the previous film. One way to improve on the movie would be to have Mystery Science Thearter 3000 Have go at it.

Summary: So forgettable I actually forgot it once.
Review: This film is actually worse than most episodes of the Next Generation. It might give the die hard trekkers who don't care about plot or logic something to guffaw at with its nearly soap opera qualities, but those of us who actually can remember when a star trek movie was a good movie and not just a good inside joke yearn for better than this. Along with Generations, it consitutes the worst Trek film yet.

Summary: Better than you've heard
Review: This movie has some really great moments. I especially enjoyed the rekindling of the romance between Riker and Troi - now if they'll just explore that further in the next one (maybe a wedding? It's about time for Riker to settle down a bit). The thing I didn't like was the fact that Data had removed his emotion chip (despite the fact that it was fused into his positronic system in "Generations" and therefore impossible to remove), so we didn't get ANY exploration further into his dealing with emotions like we did in the previous two films. It was VERY nice to see the Enterprise E in action, since she was little more than a Borg hive in the last one. The special effects were great! One question though: since the Federation obviously have cloaking technology (as is evidenced in one of the ships in this film), why don't they outfit all of their starships with it - or at least the Enterprise? Still, despite these few odd points, this is a great entry into the franchise. I think it escaped the "odd number curse". Yes, it IS little more than an ... episode of the series, but it's good storytelling. Hey, how about bringing back Q for the next film??

Summary: Is this what "Star Trek " has come to?
Review: As a fan Star Trek I got to wonder what Paramount was thinking when they green-lighted this installment, it is the most boring film in the series, i thought Star Trek V was bad, this was worse!,i found it very difficult to follow the story,maybe because i saw it only once,but i can't bring myself to sit through it again, it is seriously missing the intensity of the other films, it lacks the action the others had, not to mention the villians, just who are these guys, it makes no sense,they tried to justify it with a corrupt starfleet official, who is not all that convincing anyway. if you want that i suggest watching the Pegasus episode, at least i think that is it, it has the worst kind of corrupt starfleet official, one who abuses power to the extreme. actor Terry O' Quinn played him, that one-hour episode is ten times better than this film when it comes to corrupt starfleet officials being bad guys. producer Rick Berman promises that the next one will have better bad guys, lets hope so!!

Summary: I was pleasantly surprised. . .
Review: . . .by this "Next Generation" picture.
While I thorougly enjoyed many of the "Star Trek: Next Generation" television episodes, I have been disappointed by the "Next Generation" movies. "Generations" was OK -- "First Contact" was insulting to all classic 'trekkies'. HOWEVER, "Insurrection" was wonderful. The plot was reasonable (considering 24th century technology, of course) and the moral questions which were explored were relevant and meaningfully discussed. In addition, the cinematography and special effects lived up to the high standard which fans of "Star Trek" in its various incarnations have come to expect. I'm truly sorry I missed this one in the theatre.

Summary: Looks pretty, little else going for it.
Review: This film is a rehash of the seventh film, STAR TREK GENERATIONS. In both films, an old guy is about to die, but he discovers a fountain of youth that will make him immortal. Picard is tempted by it, but rejects it. Since the acquisition of this fountain of youth would result in the death of a small number of people, he must be stopped. He is stopped, and Picard and his crew share a contemplative moment, then face the future with renewed vigor. Generations had a better score, however. (McCarthy better than Goldsmith? Yep.) Better villain, too. Every time a character said, "Ruafo," the name of the lead bad guy, I remembered the Lost Boys chanting, "RU-FI-O! RU-FI-O!" in HOOK, the Peter Pan sequel. Riker indicated in this film that the Son'a (stretchy-faced bad guys) produced Ketracel White for the Dominion. Now, if you were watching DS9 at the time, you'd know that the Dominion was taking over all the major Alpha Quadrant species (humans, loud forehead-aliens, and pointy-eared invisible skulking aliens) one-by-one in an all-out war. White was absolutely vital to their war effort. Thus, the Son'a were indicted by Riker as incredibly important collaborators with the mortal enemy of the Federation. Everyone kind of let that slide, like if I had told you, "It was supposed to rain last night, but didn't." Several months before the movie opened, I saw an alleged page of the script on the internet. I instantly knew it was a fake, because it had a stupid joke referring to the busts of the female leads. Turns out it wasn't a fake.

Summary: One Of My All-Time Favorites!
Review: Imagine a world in which there had never been a Star Trek. Now, that being done, imagine *this* film being released in the theatres. This is absolutely one of the *best* science fiction scripts in ages! An intriguing story...gradual layers of revelation about what is *really* going on...a superb combination of characters (which is partly what has always made Star Trek a good thing). Dare I say it's, by far, the most *adult* Star Trek film in the whole series? The emphasis is on the story, not the action. The pacing and development of character relationships are nearly flawless. It's a film with real depth, content, and integrity. Great space opera can, indeed, make a great science fiction movie (and several earlier Trek outings do this well). But *this* film has gone...well...where none of them have gone before! Approach it on this level and you will *not* be disappointed.

Summary: One of the best of the film series
Review: I went to see this one with a bunch of Star Wars fans (though their faith in the Force had just been shaken a little; they'd just seen _Episode 1: The Phantom Menace_). I came out of the theatre with a bunch of Star Trek fans. Perhaps the best aspect of this film was its brave decision to focus on a moral issue, and on character, rather than "bigness". The film concerns genocide. But it chose not to use easy filmic ways of getting an audience "involved". For example, the film could have shown victims being killed on-screen in horrible ways, or mutilated while vital fluids and key bodily organs are ripped out of their bodies. That would work. But instead the means of genocide was more subtle: destruction of an environment. And where an audience might be bludgeoned into caring by being told that the issue involves a "planet", say, or "the [fill in Trek name] system", or - what the hell - the 17,000* worlds of the Klingon Empire, instead _Insurrection_ has its story about a group of just two or three hundred people. As Picard says, the issues are still the same. I think, on skimming the negative reviews here, that where people were disappointed it was generally by the decision to keep this movie small and relatively intimate. Me, I thought it was a great decision. I also felt that this was the best paced of the films since _VI: The Undiscovered Country_. _Generations_ is unfortunately a dull outing, and while long stretches of _First Contact_ are among the best Star Trek ever filmed (ie everything short on board the Enterprise) there were also long stretches where the film bogged down (ie more or less everything shot on 22nd century Earth). _Insurrection_ by contrast keeps things moving forward throughout in an evenly paced linear story. The pauses for comedy and romance generally don't pause long enough to become mawkish or otherwise embarrassing. A slight drawback for me was the excessive sweetness of the Ba'ku scenes. They looked like models in a brochure for a Californian Club Med - this is NOT a compliment - , and their New Age dialogue too often grated. The saving grace is that these moments were kept short. And though the score had its moments, being generally better in space than when describing pastoral paradises on the planet, it was not one of this series' best efforts. (An oddity of Star Trek is that the worst films, eg 1 and V, often have the best scores, while the best films eg VI and this one, have relatively undistinguished music.) The romance between Picard and Anij is one of the best and most natural Trek romances. That's no praise at all, come to think of it, romance being something Trek is spectacularly bad at. I meant it is a believable and moderately appealing romance. (Shame on Paramount for cutting Picard's screen kiss, by the way. The moment where it was so obviously cut leaves us literally in the lurch. Still, no doubt their marketing people were coming back into control at a late stage in the editing; they figured teenage boys wouldn't have liked it.) Anyway, in sum, this is one of the best Trek movies. It's one of the films I might show to a non-Trek fan, to show some of the series' charm. And although I liked _First Contact_ very much indeed, I actually preferred this film, overall. Recommended... Cheers! Laon * The 17,000 worlds of the Klingon empire? Of course I have no idea how big the Klingon empire is. I have bits of a life, and I refuse to know things like that...
