Pros: Riker & Troi renew romance, great special effects, had great potential storyline, humorous moments Cons: overuse of Picard & Data AGAIN, Worf used as comic relief, usual "nits"
Almost two years before Star Trek:Insurrection was released, a friend of mine "in the know" told me about the plotline for the next Star Trek movie. I was told the tentative title was Star Trek:Civil War and...
Pros: Nice visual effects, a few funny lines here and there. Cons: Preachy, inconsistent, and relies too much on a Picard/Data story arc.
It is, perhaps, a truism that the Star Trek feature films tend to be really good when they are even-numbered and dismal when they are odd-numbered. I don’t like to follow “conventional wisdom,” however, and I try to judge each movie on its own ...
Pros: Excellent plotline, cast reliable as ever, Patrick Stewart shines (not literally) Cons: very slight plot inconsistencies but nothing else
The Search for a Plot The plot basically involves a small group of peaceful (and apparently technically backward) people inhabiting a world, the atmosphere of which contains a unique element that rejuvenates the body right down to the ...
Pros: Riker/Troi relationship, some of the humor... Cons: Worf again, plot, villains, general hokiness, Gilbert and Sullivan?
The Star Trek films have become sort of like family reunions; and like all family reunions, there are some that are cherished and some where you're embarrassed to be there; and there are some that you just wish you could forget.
Pros: Very good plot, decent acting, good atmosphere. Cons: Perhaps requires some knowledge of Star Trek to be enjoyed most.
On a perfect world that perhaps is similar to the Garden of Eden, a small community lives. They shun technology despite being intelligent and advanced, preferring to keep their planet idyllic. The Federation, together with another race is watching the ...
Pros: Very nice special effects. Cons: Not interesting enough; nothing new under the sun.
The Star Trek franchise has been alive for over forty years now and in the later part of the ‘90’s it seemed to be in full swing. Although Star Trek The Next Generation had gone off the television airwaves, Star Trek Deep Space Nine was ...
Pros: Decent Plot, Good Philosophy, Good Acting, Decent Character Development, Balance of Humor Cons: Resolution, Subplot with Artim (the boy) and Data
The ending to the movie "Wizards" is infuriating. It's stupid and it debases the entire rest of the film. If you've never seen "Wizards" (reviewed at: ht

), it's an animated ...
Pros: A terrific story that offers Patrick Stewart some room. Cons: None. Perfect balance of story, depth and action.
In writing this review, I have to confess a little bias. I was not a trekker, per say. I just have a very special fondness for the first year of the original show. It was rich with talent, ideas, originality and most importantly of all- hope. It was ...
Pros: Good special effects. A few decent action sequences. Cons: Lame and boring story. Some hokey, unfunny attempts at humor.
The ninth Trek feature to hit the big screen, 1998's "Star Trek: Insurrection" is one of the more disappointing entries, one that adds credibility to the theory of the odd-numbered films being the worst. I personally found the film boring and feel it...
Pros: Same Cast, Same Ship, New Movie Cons: Slow plot, Weak Finale
For anyone who has been a Star Trek fan over the life time of Star Trek Movies you know what it means when someone reviews a movie and says it was an odd numbered movie. Ever since Star Trek "The Motion Picture" the even numbered movies...
Pros: The Gangs All Here, Great FX Cons: Parts Weak, Humor Misses The Mark
This is the latest movie in the Star Trek Movie series. When you've done watching this one you'll probably agree with me when I say, "it wasn't the best, but it wasn't the worst either". The plot was pretty good but there were some weak...
Stardate: 121398
Everything about this ninth Trek movie seems on the cheap, from the Roger Corman-grade special effects to its highly derivative and ugly ad campaign (the poster is nearly identical to that of Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered...
Pros: funny, familiar faces, lots of action Cons: plot is a little thread-bare
I know a lot of people didn't care for this latest chapter of the Star Trek saga, however I thought it was lighthearted fun. It brings back all the familiar faces, and, while truthfully, I'm not sure how much longer some of them can go on in their...
Pros: Very good plot and some decent action scenes Cons: May not appeal to non Trekkies
It is very difficult to write an objective opinion about any Star Trek movie. Star Trek is a phenomenon that you either like or dislike. But I will try……
The Plot
Six hundred people live on an idyllic world, and although...
Pros: I think they stole the idea from Oz...
Cons: But then again, I could be wrong...
This isn't really a review, but writer and producer Michael Piller has stated that, among other things, he found Joseph Conrad's "Heart of Darkness" as inspiration for the storyline behind "Star Trek: Insurrection." But I think he was really inspired by...
Engage! Captain Jean-Luc Picard (Patrick Stewart) and his Next Generation crew are back and so is the excitement and fun in this polished film that sh...More at Buy.com Marketplaces
