Star Trek Insurrection - Good Trek - not so good film

It's been said many times that Star Trek 9: Insurrection, is little more than an extended TV episode. There's little more I can add to that. And, if you liked The Next Generation's small-screen outings, then you should enjoy this.

However, the films were always supposed to appeal to a wider audience, therefore they were expected to be bigger, bolder and louder. Plus Insurrection follows the excellent Star Trek 8: Fist Contact, which really took `Trek' in a new, more action-orientated direction. Therefore Insurrection always felt like a step backwards.

There's nothing wrong with this film, in fact, it's actually quite enjoyable. However, unless you're a die hard fan, you probably won't find it that interesting and there are certainly better Trek movies than this one.

5/10 a hard trek, a bit like unicycling to Mordor and back
