Reviews for Star Trek: Insurrection
Top CriticAn admirable mix of ethics, drama, humor, and outer space dogfights.
03/13/02
Insurrection doesn't quite gain the mantle of 'Worst Star Trek Film' from Star Trek V -- but it gets a little too close for comfort.
09/10/01
This should be review enough for most Trekkers: It's the better of the odd-numbered movies, but it is definitely an odd-numbered movie.
06/14/01
The latest and ninth installment in that line, Star Trek: Insurrection, lacks the adrenalized oomph of its predecessor, but no adventure of the Starship Enterprise is without its gee-whiz affability.
02/14/01
Top CriticOne of the weaker entries in the series.
01/01/01
Insurrection offers endless pleasure and inside jokes for the hardcore fans, but it's less urgent than First Contact, the dynamic last installment of the series.
01/01/00
If Merchant-Ivory produced a 'Star Trek' film, this would be it.
01/01/00
The story has enough plot switchbacks, space battles and gizmo wizardry to ensure that most viewers won't forget the film until at least the next morning.
01/01/00
Top CriticAn enjoyable movie, employing the basics that should endear it to most Trekkers.
01/01/00
Lurches clumsily between drama, hammy comedy, and moral lecturing
01/01/00
a sad passing for a once-pioneering series
01/01/00
You can only play a piano so many times before it finally goes out of tune.
01/01/00
Another extended episode played out with a decided lack of conviction, with nothing ever really at stake, and lazy humor that's aimed strictly at the disciples.
01/01/00
They probably should have completely thrown the script out. That way, they could have come up with a story that at least had a sign of intelligence and freshness.
01/01/00
The quirkiest Trek yet, Insurrection is breezy, low- key and often humorous.
01/01/00
Doesn't exactly boldly go where no one has gone before.
01/01/00
What starts out as a stroll through an idyllic Whole Earth Catalog-style communal existence resolves into a tightly knit sci-fi action adventure, packed with the verities that generations of Trekkies admire and expect.
01/01/00
An acceptable movie to Trek fans, if disappointing.
01/01/00
I saw more creativity and pizzazz in the two-minute Star Wars trailer than in the 103 minutes of Star Trek: Insurrection that followed.
