Reviews for Star Trek: Insurrection
It's like one of those not-quite-favorite episodes from the series that you might enjoy watching again if it happens to air during a marathon, but it comes nowhere near achieving the best that Star Trek can do..."
05/15/09
It's back to boring basics for the Gene Roddenberry franchise.
04/26/09
The extravagant makeup and special effects are actually unobtrusive because they're demanded by the pleasantly formulaic story, whose conflicts--and broad, innocuous political allegory -- justify the heartwarming resolution.
05/19/08
Top CriticIt's an interesting story, more accessible to non-Trekkers than previous entries.
05/19/08
Strikes a deft balance of predictable heroics and quirky humor.
05/19/08
Top CriticGenial, well-crafted tribute to the moral values Gene Roddenberry instilled in his sci-fi series, that suffers from a recurring flaw in the franchise, a lack of real threat and danger.
05/19/08
Despite the usual strained stabs at topical social significance, Frakes maintains a brisk pace, staging the battle scenes with panache and undercutting the absurd techno gibberish with crass but leavening humour.
06/24/06
Most of the television episodes have been smarter.
05/26/06
This is really just a pretty good episode of the series, which is not really a bad thing.
12/06/05
Not one of the most successful of the "Star Trek" films, it's always nice to see the cast reunite.
08/28/05
This is a good deal more than just another sci-fi movie.
08/10/05
The plot feels like something dug out of an old pile of Next Generation scripts, with a fuzzy focus on the wonderment of newfound youth.
06/07/05
No review available.
04/02/05
Nothing more than a glorified episode.
06/14/04
There are some nice moments early on.
05/20/03
Stewart looks great as usual and is impeccable in his familiar role, but most of the other principals were seriously underused.
02/08/03
Fun for most folks, heaven for Trekkers.
06/18/02
Top CriticA respectable and enjoyable, though hardly ground-breaking, adventure.
