Rating: 3 stars
Summary: A suitable companion to the film
Review: I don't know if it was a problem with a particular print run of this book, but the copy I bought from a local bookstore was very badly bound, and several pages came adrift while I was reading it. This struck me as highly unusual, since most S&S books are excellently bound. However, the book itself is beautfully designed, and has a wealth of information about the film making process. However, it is a little on the small side, and could have been more like John Eaves's "Next Generation Sketchbook". A good book in general, it loses stars because of the poor binding and small size.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: One of the best behind the scene books ever!!!!
Review: I loved it it was the best one yet! I would also like to see one on voyager. I love the renderings and the concept sketches.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A very nice behind the scenes look at Star Trek IX
Review: I recently bought this book, and I really did enjoy it. While reading this, you can discover what Insurrection was going to be about before the final version was written. You can also view pictures from the movie, as well as learn how the producers built the different sets and pulled off the different stunts. I would recommend this to anyone who wants to learn more about the latest Trek feature, Insurrection.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Best behind the scenes ST book.
Review: If you liked the sketch books and "The Art of Star Trek" you will definitely love this book. This book goes into detail with mini-interviews strewn throughout.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The Best!
Review: Insurrection is one of the absolute best star trek films there is. Data is the funniest ever in the film. I loved Picard, Worf and Data's musical number. It was really funny

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Mission Breakdown
Review: The ninth Star Trek feature film didn't exactly help to ensure the longevity of the franchise. Insurrection, like Star Trek V before it, was a low point in the cannon. But at least the earlier film tried hard to be good...Insurrection took tired old aspects from Trek's past and made them even more stale.

As someone who has always had an interest in how films are made, even the not so good ones, I still wanted to read this book. Author Terry J Erdmann offers a colorful and comprehensive look at the making of Insurection. There's little doubt that director Jonathan Frakes set out to make a bad film--no director ever does--but writer Michael Piller and producer Rick Berman should have known better that the story needed work. Erdmann takes readers through the story concepts all the way through post production. This is a breezy account of the filmming process. Things are stated in a clear way but the book doesn't dumb down readers either. The full color photos and design sketches are well chosen. The book has 188 pages.

Even if you didn't care for the film all that much--you should still find yourself enjoying the book anyway

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: This Book Is Awesome
Review: The Pictures, The size everything you need to know about the new blockbuster movie. A must have for any avid Star Trek fan.
