It turns out there's a conspiracy afoot, masterminded by the devious, gruesomely aged Ru'afo (F. Murray Abraham, hamming it up under makeup resembling a cosmetic surgeon's worst nightmare), who's in cahoots with a renegade Starfleet admiral (Anthony Zerbe). They covet the fountain-of-youth power of the Ba'ku planet, but because their takeover plan violates Starfleet's Prime Directive of noninterference, it's up to Picard & crew to stop the scheme. Along the way, they all benefit from the metaphasic effect, which manifests itself as Worf's puberty (visible as a conspicuous case of Klingon acne), Picard's youthful romance with a Ba'ku woman (the lovely Donna Murphy), the touching though temporary return of Geordi's natural eyesight, and a moment when Troi asks Dr. Crusher if she's noticed that her "boobs are firming up."
Some fans scoffed at these humorous asides, but they're what make this Trek film as entertaining as it is slightly disappointing. Without the laughs (including Data's rousing excerpt from Gilbert & Sullivan's HMS Pinafore), this is a pretty routine entry in the franchise, with no real surprises, a number of plot holes, and the overall appearance of a big-budget TV episode. As costar and director, Jonathan Frakes proves a capable carrier of the Star Trek flame--and it's nice to see women in their forties portrayed as smart and sexy--but while this is surely an adequate Trek adventure, it doesn't quite rank with the best in the series. --Jeff Shannon

Customer Reviews of Star Trek - Insurrection (Two-Disc Special Collector's Edition)
Jonathan Frakes has a hit, but not a smash Before I go any further, allow me to make this clear: I am a die-hard Trekkie who grew up on the original series episodes and has come to love TNG as well, so I mean to call it like I see it. <

>I don't wish to give away any plot elements, but in order to adequately review the movie, I must make some minor "spoilers." This film highlights one of the ethical dilemmas that has come to be a hallmark of Star Trek since its inception. In a move rather similar to that of President Jackson in relocating the Southeastern Native American tribes, Starfleet officials in league with a shady group of aliens conspire to remove a primitive people from their world so that Federation citizens may reap the benefits of an unusual healing radiation emenating from the rings of said planet. Picard, ever the force of truth and justice, refuses to go along (hence the "Insurrection" title), leading to a battle between good and "greater good." <

>On the whole, I feel this was the most well-written and executed TNG Trek film. While I personally adored the previous 2, I thought their storylines were a bit contrived (not to mention the continuity errors caused by Kirk's "death" at the beginning of Generations). The deeper storyline of this movie is both its weakness and its strength; I had a bit of a problem following the plot the first time I saw the film, but after I was able to appreciate it, I realized how much better of a storyline it actually is. I highly recommend this movie to all TNG fans, and any Trekkie who enjoys the "ethical dilemma" storylines.
It's like one bit fat sweet Next Gen episode
It's like one bit fat sweet Next Gen episode with a much bigger budget, you'll love it. Just buy the video and see.
Entertaining...to a degree.
Not the best of TNG movies by far, this one is never the less entertaining. More like an episode of the series than an actual motion picture, I personally believe the script should be blamed as the director, Jonathan Frakes (Will Riker himself) did an amazingly wonderful job on the previous entry in the series, Star Trek: First Contact. The film suffers from a lack of a significant and powerful villain. Never the less, there's a lot of fun to be had here. The crew seems more like a family again.
