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 ...

Picard apologises, and everyone leaves.

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 ...

...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. The Federation, a group of civilizations with a common cause for exploration and peace are observing the planet to ascertain ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

A good romp Review ofStar Trek - Insurrection DVDby
Chatshow
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 ...

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 ...

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 more ...

...my 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. ...

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) ...

...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 ...

Advantages: Refreshingly different. Disadvantages: Pitiful extra features.
So we reach Star Trek 9 and by all rights you would think that it should be time to call it day. Fortunately Insurrection absolutely oozes originality.
It is a credit to all that the decision was made to take a risk and not go for the easy win action feature.
Complemented by excellent acting from the great ensemble cast, you will laugh and in places even be moved.
It is a slight shame that the extra features amount to a rather pitiful television ...
