"Star Trek: Insurrection" is the ninth Star
Trek film. The crew of the starship Enterprise discovers that the Federation
Council is conspiring with an alien race to conquer a planet with radiation
that bestows eternal youth on its inhabitants. Captain Picard decides to side
with the peaceful inhabitants of the planet, and all the usual conundrums
follow.
While "Star Trek: First Contact" (the eighth film) tried to take the Star Trek concept into the mainstream, "Insurrection" feels more narrow. To all intents and purposes, this is an extended episode of the series "Star Trek: The Next Generation". It feels nerdy, in-house and somewhat awkward. Not bad if you're a Trekkie, but personally, I feel a bit too old for stories about androids trying to become more human, aliens experiencing puberty and rogue Starfleet admirals...
But OK, I give it three stars. I mean, it's not bad for a Star Trek production.
