The Producers over at Paramount promised that Star Trek Insurrection was going to be the biggest and best Star Trek film yet. Unfortunately the final product churned out became one of the worst in the franchise. Its so strange watching this film and knowing that the folks who made the solidly entertaining First Contact made this one. Insurrection is filled with plot holes, horrible CGI, cheap set design, and direction so flat that it makes you want to fall asleep.
The big problem in a lot of these Star Trek movies is that the stakes never feel that high. With Insurrection that certainly is the case. The situation doesn't feel dire enough to where the entire universe was threatened. It just seems as if this Star Trek film was slapped together quickly to beat Star Wars to the theaters. (And Paramount should have waited another year to develop the story because this is terrible). Full review below:
