4.0 out of 5 stars
Not so much a movie as a manifesto, Feb 10 2009
This review is from: Star Trek - Insurrection (Two-Disc Special Collector's Edition) (DVD)
Star Trek Insurrection is not the best movie in the STNG movie series, but it does what the television series attempted - it tells us that there are benefits to growing up as a species. The evolution of human morals is show in the Baku, the ultimate adult race, and Captain Picard, of course, the universe's anti-Kirk. The bad guys and unseemly elements within the Federation pursue short-term gains at any cost while the crew of the Enterprise stand for truth, justice, and the Federation way. Sure it's preachy, but - darn it! - I want to see Jean-Luc Picard get all holier than thou (and then commit mayhem on the enemy). If you are a STNG fan, you won't be disappointed.

4.0 out of 5 stars
light as far as plot and substance,but still a very good movie, Aug 20 2007
This review is from: Star Trek - Insurrection (Two-Disc Special Collector's Edition) (DVD)
This ninth entry in the Star Trek series(and second outing for The Next
Generation crew)is better than i remember it a few years ago.it is
pretty light,as far as substance, and the plot,though also light,is
somewhat interesting.and the movie is generally fun.it certainly has
its whimsical moments,to be sure,but that's not a criticism of the
movie.there's even a romantic aspect to it.there is less action than
drama here,but the movie still maintains a good pace for the most.there
are a few scenes where things get slow,but they don't last long enough
to effect the film.i don't think this film is quite as good as the
previous entry First Contact,but it's still more than watchable.it's
actually a very good movie.as for the extras there are plenty of them
on the second disc,many of them in depth.well worth the purchase
price,in my opinion. 4/5
