Sci-fi

Advantages: great cast, director and plot
Disadvantages: -

...the catalan television played again Star Trek the original series. I became crazy about that serie from the first chapter. I think that ST:The original series (TOS) is maybe the best sci-fi serie ever done. For me it has the same problem than Doctor Who. Both series had the best plots ever done, but with bad special effects. Sometimes bad special effects means that you find more difficult to get into the story. Some years ago I discovered ST:The ...
...movie we are talking about. Star Trek 9 :Insurrection! The plot --------- Federation is breaking one of their own rules and only the great crew of the enterprise can do something against it. I don’t want to tell many things of the plot, cos I think that opinions have to be useful if you know everything about the movie and you want more info or if you are planning to watch it. If I tell you the complete plot I’ll be breaking the magic ...

STAR TREK IX "INSIGNIFICANT"

Advantages: Quality Widescreen Picture, DD 5.1
Disadvantages: Could Easily Be Mistaken For An Extended TV Episode!

...planet with Picard to ‘rescue’ Star Fleet officers and some Son’a people, however, it was Data who kept them on the planet informing the ‘Ba’ku’, (the villagers), that they were the enemy, its also found out that looks are deceiving, and the Ba’ku are fully knowledgeable with warp-drive and the latest technologies, its just they choose not to use them. Picard apologises, and everyone leaves. Picard goes back to the surface after a while with Data ...
...will only appeal to die-hard Star Trek fans, even I struggled to enjoy it. Saying this it has a brilliant music score, one of Jerry Goldsmiths best I think, and it has a good twist to the movie, (if you can bare with it that long). We also see some good character moment’s, Riker and Troi especially as they ‘hot’ up their relationship somewhat. The location of the village is really paradise, (even though it has been done up a bit I expect), but its ...

Set anticipations to stun

Advantages: Pure Star Trek
Disadvantages: Watching this after First Contact

...the cast and crew of Star Trek, Insurrection (The ninth film in the series) is a small disappointment at first glance. This tale about the peaceful race known as the Ba'ku and their planet of eternal youth, which is under threat, initially pails in comparison somewhat next to the excellent First Contact. However, part of the beauty of Star Trek has always been in the diversity of its stories and characters and although, in my opinion, this is one ...
...and offers the viewer the Star Trek equivalent of the "feel good factor" by its conclusion. The film's scope is best described as a moral argument rather than a full-blown "Insurrection" - but I guess the latter works better as a film title. The basic plot involves the afore mentioned peaceful race: the Ba’ku, who are seemingly in their technological infancy, sort of pre-industrial humanoids, who live on a remote planet deep in a region of inhospitable ...

A good movie even for non Trekkies

Advantages: Very good plot, effects and soundtrack
Disadvantages: Some knowledge of the Star Trek world would help

...an objective opinion about any Star Trek movie. Star Trek is a phenomenon that you either like or dislike. But I will try…… The Plot Six hundred people live on an idyllic world, and although they are technologically advanced, they do not use their technology and prefer to keep their planet beautiful and untainted.

...is one of the better Star Trek movies with an exciting and suspenseful plot and some well rounded acting. The cinematography is excellent adding to the general atmosphere. The soundtrack is very good, adding to the suspense and blending in perfectly with the action sequences. The movie blends action, intrigue and suspense excellently and keeps the audience interested. With several sub plots, and many twists and turns during the plot this is perhaps ...

MMMMMMMM TREK

Advantages:
Disadvantages:

Captain Jean-Luc Picard and the rest of the Next Generation crew reunite in an adventure that sees them rebelling against Starfleet and the Federation to protect a race of 600 people who live in a paradise and whose existence is insured by their planet's fountain of youth type powers. When this hit the cinemas last Christmas, it didn't exactly receive the greatest reviews of all time, most seemed to say that while it was good, it wasn't as good ...

Not bad, not bad at all!

Advantages: Excellent effects, increased by the sharpness of DVD, humour
Disadvantages: predictable plot, First Contact is a hard act to follow.

...and most disturbing alien that Star Trek ever produced and only one film can have them so it's not faiir to compare it to other films when it has the advantage before the start. Insurrection keeps the Star Trek series of films among the better half, but at the same time doesn't exactly light any fires as it goes, the special effects are notably good and the Enterprise going through the mank in space is quite spectacular, and the explosions look ...
...in the film as he always is and for the most part the acting is above par, remarkable for Star Trek, but in the end, the film is good, but not incredible, a worthy look if you're a star trek fan, and if you're not, well, go watch it anyway. ...

A must for any treker to see........

Advantages: A brillant film, good acting....
Disadvantages: none.....

The original Star Trek and TNG, always focused on the promotion of science, that is the logic, the scientific method, the freedom to pursuit science, the struggle against superstition. In the next generation, this theme is also continued in countless episodes. (think of Picard fighting the woman who claims to be the devil) In Insurrection however, we have a "garden of Eden" race who refuses technology as an "evil" addition to their lives. A race ...
...depth for the sake of Star Trek. Let us protect the themes that made us watch Star Trek in the first place: The freedom of choice, the pursuit of science, the "boldness" to go where no one has gone before, regardless if this means the expulsion from our safe little world. Sidenote: There's lots of scenes on the planet which is so beautiful. It was filmed in Nevada I believe. There are lots of action scenes out in space for those who like action. ...

A good romp

Advantages: A good mix of adventure, romance and action
Disadvantages: Moves slowly if you are obsessed with First Contact

Star Trek: Insurrection had a hard time, following on from the critically acclaimed First Contact, however, if you don't spend all your time comparing it to it's predecessor, it is a damned fine film. It moves along at a more sedate pace than First Contact, features some moments of strong character development and seems to be a more leisurely film that the pure action-fest of First Contact. The Federation has managed to enter a deal with a race ...
...type of skin defect that means they have to have the skin stretched and toxins drained every now and again. The focus of this deal is the Bak'u homeworld, a planet with the ability to maintain youth and vitality thanks to it's rings (yes, this is science fiction remember). Unfortunately, all is not as it seems. Thankfully, Captain Picard is on hand to help the Baku save the day, but it means defying Starfleet orders. Thankfully, again, the command ...

Advantages: Brilliant story
Disadvantages: Could have had more space battles

The latest installment of the Star Trek movie series tries really to bridge the gap between trekker and your average person. It does so very well by incorporating a very good plot and storyline. It revovles around a planet who's inhabitants share the fortune of eternal youth and some evil guys wants it for themselves. Romance is also a key ingredient in this film for Cptn Pic, which makes it all the more exciting. The special effects have been really ...

Very good film (9th in series)

Advantages: Mountain backdrops, good ship-ship combat scenes
Disadvantages: didn't feature any significant enemies like the Romulans or Borg this time

...the 9th film in the Star Trek movie franchise and there's a new 11th instalment coming out later this year. Insurrection was a film about the crew from Star Trek:The Next Generation embarking on a mission that took the starship Enterprise to a planetary system in a region of space where communications with Starfleet (SOS calls) couldn't be established. I admit that it's a while since I've seen Insurrection so I'm not going to be able to describe ...
...best I've seen in a Star Trek movie and much of the movie took place on the surface of a planet. There were some really nice real mountain backdrops filmed on location somewhere like the Alps or Rockies I'm not sure where. 2) The ship-ship combat scenes at the end were really good especially when Riker took manual control of the ship via a joystick to conduct a maneouvre. 3) One of my faveroute ship flying scenes at the beginning where Data and ...

It's terrible,but the wife liked it

Advantages: erm
Disadvantages: boring

...wife. It's as though the Star Trek crew have sleepwalked through the film whilst wrapped in clingfilm, that's how stiff they are. And I've seen scarier puppets on Sesame Street than the baddies on offer here. You can't fault the sound or picture quality, but this matters not a jot with a bad plot, boring actors and a sebnse of fun only Ken Barlow would enjoy. The wife loved it though, baaah. ...

ressurected?

Advantages: hmm good effects
Disadvantages: rubbish script

...with all the odd numbered star trek movies, this is something of an oddity, the soryline is about a fountain of youth and some long deported travellers trying to reclaim it, and thats about it, data goes of the rails and picard and co join forces against the direct rules of the prime directive. The acting is ok, the effects are pretty good but the basic preimse of the storyline is so appalling that even the baddies aren't that bad and everyone (virtually) ...

Trekkie or not, you have to see this!

Advantages: Great Action Movie
Disadvantages: none

...to be the best ever Star Trek. It's like getting together with old friends and having fun. The interaction between the characters is hilarious, touching and thrilling all at the same time. Captian Jean-Luc Picard is faced with orders that conflict with the Prime Directive - not to interfere with the natural development of other civilizations. If he goes along with them, 600 peaceful inhabitants will be forcibly relocated. If he disobeys, he could ...
...- hysterical! Michael Dorn's character(the Clingon,Worf)is actually amusing too. You don't have to be a Trekkie to enjoy or understand this movie which has some brilliant special effects. I can almost guarantee that you too will become a big Star Trek fan and go around saying 'Live Long and Prosper'! ...
