DVD Movie Show Reviews
I have been a Star Trek fan since the late 60's, when I
was a kid. I enjoyed most of the movies. However, "Insurrection"
was my favorite of the Next Gen movies. I found the others
disappointing, but I felt this one was as good as the other old Trek
movies, as well as the Next Gen series. The only thing that
bothered me about it, really, is that I had read a Trek book written by
William Shatner that had a lot of similarities, plot-wise. I'm
surprised I have never read that anyone else noticed how close the plots
were. Anyway, the movie is excellent. It has both dramatic
and light-hearted moments, as well as plenty of action and romance.
Even people who are not big fans of Star Trek would probably like it.
This new set has a lot of great extra features,
including many behind-the-scenes shorts that I enjoyed, deleted scenes,
commentary, and all the usual extras besides. I enjoyed watching
the movie a second time (the first time was in the theaters) and I might
just watch it a third.
I don't know how Daniel Hugh Kelly (Sojef) stays so
young...he was perfectly cast for this movie about eternal youth because
he doesn't look any older than he did in the 70's when he played Frank
Ryan on "Ryan's Hope"! I thought all of the actors did a marvelous
job, especially the always-wonderful F. Murray Abraham, and of course
Patrick Stewart.
The movie is about how Data and the rest of the
Enterprise crew protect this group of settlers from the Federation
admiral and this other group of aliens who want to steal their fountain
of youth (which happens to be their home). The plots takes some
nice twists and turns.
Check it out, you'll enjoy it, whether you like Star
Trek or not.
