Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!
The film was still a fun one that will make you laugh and have you leaving the theater feeling like you just stole something valuable and got away with it.
There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes
The acting is good, and the firecracker script has some excellent ideas.
Movie Review: "Star Trek: Insurrection" (1998)After a totally-convincing "Star Trek: First Contact" releasing toward Thanksgiving-favoring late November of 1996 to major "Next Generation" crew successes on the U.S. domestic market by exceeding a closing-in 50-Million-Dollar production budget, when here it must have been a 100-Million-Dollars from nevertheless "Star Trek" license-securing Hollywood major "Paramount Pictures"; a 1912 as legendary studio coming into hard standings of a hit-movie succession, when reprising directions by Commander Riker-actor Jonathan Frakes are noded with the best intentions to present a story fabricated by somehow at that time more benefited weekly-television-striker "Star Trek: Voyager" - in its 3rd to 4th striking seasons - to constant-showrunning as screenwriting producers Rick Berman and Michael Piller (1948-2005), who dug up deep-space-tribes of rivaling hostility-forcing Son'a in actions of fair, but budget-undermining space-battles between super-stylish "Enterprise NCC-1701-E" and a sharply-designed pair of attacking space crusaders near the orbit of a just-too-pleasantly-received harmony-loving beauty of "Planet Ba'ku", when it must have been a stake-raising firing-breathing monster of a showdown between a charming, but growing-soft character of Captain Jean-Luc Picard with changes to finish his career for a single kiss of a perfectly-matching "Ba'ku" woman, when his 1st officer Riker commands the crew with chair and manual enterprising joystick surrounded by minor-suspense-ringing supports of underplayed characters as klingon-warrior-turned-Starfleet-officer Worf, given face under heavy Oscar-worthy make-up actor Michael Dorn and metaphysical psychic Diana Troi, always hidden as balancing performance by actress Marina Sirtis, get eventually denied in a noteworthy, but then again falling short hand-to-hand combat in never-finished blue-screen-backdrops, where potential nemesis character Ru'afo, here visciously as too-briefly-built with just single-beat striking performance by F. Murray Abraham, without given "Insurrection" the proper fulfilling send-off in universally-receivable science-fiction satisfactions.© 2018 Felix Alexander Dausend (Cinemajesty Entertainments LLC)
I grew up with the original TV series in the 60's, so for me Star Trek: Insurrection is a closer representation of Gene Roddenbury's philosophy than many of the films preceding it.Within the adventure itself it covers Roddenbury's issues about how man continues to evolve, dealing with each other, and the environment around us.Picard's relationship with Anij is a joy to behold, and although there's plenty of action to satisfy us, it is the quieter moments that remain the strongest in the mind.Thank you Jonathan Frakes!
Released in 1998 and directed by Jonathan Frakes, "Star Trek: Insurrection" is the third Star Trek film featuring the Next Generation cast. The plot revolves around a serene alien race, the Ba'ku, whose planet offers regenerative radiation and therefore extremely long lifespans; moreover, they live in harmony with their environment and reject advanced technology. With the aid of an alien race called the Son'a, the Federation secretly (deceptively) researches the Ba'ku culture, but the Son'a intend to take the planet for themselves and others who secretly want to regenerate their bodies (i.e. drink of the 'Fountain of Youth'). The problem is that Captain Picard and the Enterprise-E crew are loyal to the Prime Directive.The plot is good with some interesting ideas — the paradisal planet where immortality is nigh reality — but something prevents the movie from taking off and soaring. It's decent; it's just underwhelming and doesn't always 'click.' Some kinks needed worked out in the creation process. The film runs 103 minutes and was shot in California at Convict Lake, Mammoth Lakes Park; San Gabriel Dam, Angeles National Forest; Lake Sherwood; Bishop; and Paramount Studios, Los Angeles. GRADE: B-
While not overly bad, or even necessarily a bad movie, Insurrection is a bland, forgettable and ultimately uninspired movie. Look, I love Star Trek, and I love TNG (easily the best of the series), but this movie is not anything worth watching. Say what you will about Nemesis, but that movie at least gave us a story that seemed to motivate the characters. Here the whole, crew has to rebel against the federation to save these people seems forced. Would the federation really agree to misplace an entire planet full of people, especially since they're so into that whole 'non-interference' thing, you know, THE PRIME DIRECTIVE. While the trope of a bad Starfleet guy has been used before, they never acted with the approval of the Federation before. Like, seriously. Maybe I missed something, but that's not even the worst of it. The whole reasoning about why the immortality thing only works on this one planet felt so contrived, and beyond that the people's powers seem undefined and vague. But let's be honest, I can overlook plot-holes, no really I can. I even enjoy movies that aren't necessarily well made, that might even have gaping plot holes, but those have to give me something to like them. Here, it's just a bland, 100 minute movie filled with uninteresting side characters and some really forgettable villains. I know there's the whole, this is just like an episode of the TV series, but the two-part episodes in TNG were way better than this. This movie is more like a two-part episode of Voyager. While it is fun to see the crew behaving a little more young, it more or less just feels like an excuse to have them act out of character. The Son'a aren't overly interesting either, which doesn't help matters, though their back-story felt like it had potential. They just kind of have a dull plain and they never get much personality of their own, aside from their obsession with immortality. Seriously, this is only worth watching if you're a trekkie, and even then, this isn't a movie you want to re-watch too much. I know most people site Nemesis or Enterprise as the reason they had to reboot the franchise, but this was the first step down that path.
