Advantages: The 'Next Generation' crew get a film to themselves
Disadvantages: None

STAR TREK: FIRST CONTACT is the 8th in the 'Star Trek' movie series, and the 2nd to feature the 'Next Generation' crew, led by Captain Picard. The storyline has the crew having to travel back in time from the 24th to the 21st century in order to stop the Borg from assimilating the Earth and changing the future from the course it should be on. This is a much more exciting film than the previous instalment, 'Generations'. Each member of the crew has ...
...like 'The Picard/Kirk Show'. The storyline is more exciting - I've always had a soft spot for the Borg ever since their first appearance in the TV episode 'The Best Of Both Worlds', and the Borg and their Queen (played by Alice Krige) provide a much more formidable foe than Malcilm McDowell's Soren in the previous film. It also has to be said that much as I love the crew of the original Enterprise, Kirk's appearance in the previous film undermined ... Read review

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 ...

Advantages: Excellent special effects, great cast
Disadvantages: It feels like a feature-length TV episode

STAR TREK: INSURRECTION is the 9th in the 'Star Trek' movie series, and the 3rd to feature the 'Next Generation' crew, led by Captain Picard. The film tells the story of a scheme between a Starfleet Admiral and the Son'a (a dying race) to destroy the Ba'ku, a peaceful race who have a formula to halt the aging process. When Picard and his crew discover this plot and are put into direct conflict with their superiors in order to save the Ba'ku. After ...
...parts. When I see a Star Trek movie I want to see something that feels more than just a feature-length episode of the TV shows. With the movies starring the original crew I got this - the films came along over a decade after the original series had finished, and special effects had come a long way. I really felt in watching those films that I was getting something new. The first of the 'Next Generation' films, GENERATIONS, gave me that feeling, with ... Read review

Advantages: Good Quality, Fun
Disadvantages: Alot of Disks

When i first noticed this title in the shops, my first reaction was "Thats too expensive" but then i realised that it was the price for ten films all included in the one set. The films in this set each have their own individual story and are only linked by the setting and characters. Each film in this set is interesting and have many good points and few bad points, on afew of the films the special effects are a bit lacking but this is due to the ... Read review
