"Star Trek: Insurrection" is a fantastic, fascinating film.
(Maybe the "Star Wars" people should take a lesson from the
"Star Trek" movies.)
Data, the android, has a large part. On a mission to observe
the people of a far-off planet, he is shot and begins malfunctioning;
Captain Picard's (Patrick Stewart) crew rushes in and saves
him. Soon, they discover that there is something fishy about
the Federation members with whom Data was working. So, they
all return to the planet and discover that it is the fountain
of youth - everyone who stays there for even a short period
of time begins looking younger and younger. (No wonder the evil
aliens from the Federation want this planet!)
In one subplot, Picard falls for a three-hundred-year-old woman
from the planet (she looks about forty years old). Picard, who
didn't have a love interest in the past two movies, is a great
romantic lead. (I think Stewart is great- looking, even with
no hair. If only he was twenty years younger, he'd be the perfect
actor!)
I loved "Star Trek: Insurrection". This movie has action and
sci-fi elements, romance, humor, a detailed plot, and a terrific
cast of actors. Of course, I'm a Star Trek fan to begin with,
but I think even non-trekkies should enjoy it.
My rating: 4 stars
Rating : PG (for sci-fi action violence, mild language and sensuality)
