Most of these reviews of Insurrection damn the film with faint praise. It wasn’t this, it wasn’t that. The Federation wouldn’t do this. There’s petty squabbles about fair points, etc. Writer Michael Piller clearly uses Star Tear Insurrection, considerable as Roddenberry did, as a soapbox to decry the injustices visited upon others. Usually he’d utilize Star Sprint as a analogy of what had occurred in the past or demonstrate.
The next to last installment in the “Gallop” film franchise, “Star Trek: Insurrection” received a dreadful rap from the very beginning. Despite the fact that it was scripted by one of the series best writers (Michael Piller a producer and writer on “The Unimaginative Zone”) and directed by series vet/actor Jonathan Frakes the film was seen as disappointing as a follow up to the action driven “Star Trek: First Contact”. While the film certainly lacks the intensity of “First Contact”, the humor and thoughtfulness that drove some of the best episodes of the TV series remain remarkably intact. “Insurrection” certainly is noteworthy, remarkable closer to an expanded bigger budget TV episode but it is by no means a abominable “Tear” film.

Data (Brent Spiner) while on a covert mission to bag information on an alien speed called the Ba’ku malfunctions and exposes the mission to the natives. It seems that the radiation belt that surrounds the planet is a fountain of youth reversing aging for those that live there. The Federation in collaboration with a rush called the Son’a view on relocating the Ba’ku so that the Federation can “harvest” the radiation belt and employ it to cure people of illnesses. The leader of the Son’a Ru’afo (F. Murray Abraham) demands that Vice-Admiral Dougherty (Anthony Zerbe) contact the Enterprise and collect out how to deactivate or waste the android. Captain Picard (Patrick Stewart) elects to seize the Enterprise there to the Ba’ku’s planet and try deactivating Data while keeping him intact. He discovers a conspiracy among the Federation and the Son’a that he would never suspect.
While it appears this is the same digital transfer as the first DVD allege, there’s considerably better detail and crisper images as the result of improvements made since that first disc appeared. The deep, rich blacks and smart bright colors of the planet near to life on this DVD. The wonderfully rich 5.1 Dolby Digital Surround and DTS mixes both sound terrific using the surrounding speakers exceedingly well. The DTS mix has the edge here with a deeper, richer bass and better overall presence but the two are exceptionally stop in quality otherwise.
Disc one is devoted to the film and text commentary. Disc two has all the extras on it. There’s a number of deleted scenes including, most importantly, an alternate ending not previous seen. The alternate ending is actually provocative although it might have been a bit confusing for some folks. Evidently Ru’afo’s exposure to the metaphasic radiation turns him younger and younger. Sadly, the optical effects aren’t in the alternate ending beyond some simple computer graphics. We also have Peter Lauritson introducing the deleted scenes and giving us background on why they didn’t design it into the movie including an extended version of Ru’afo’s facelift. Image quality for the deleted scenes aren’t quite as estimable as the movie because they weren’t color corrected and/or completed. We find more scenes of Riker and Troi flirting which are quite comical and actually would have worked within the film quite well as piece of a “director’s edition”. There’s also a scene where Picard kisses Anij that was gash.
“The Star Lag Universe” focuses on the aliens created by do up artist Michael Westmore and the magnificent alien women throughout the bustle of the entire series and films. Jonathan Frakes comments on his common alien women that Riker has seduced.
“Production” looks at everything from the creation of the Ba’ku village in Thousand Oaks, California to the creation of one of the most clarify stunts that wasn’t SEEN in the movie. We fetch to witness Data build some of the Ba’ku fighting three aliens who are armed taking all three out with one punch. “Creating the Illusion” shows us how the visual effects were created for three sequences; the shuttle streak piquant Data, Picard and Worf; when the drones attack trying to transport the Ba’ku and the sequence racy the Duck Blind at the beginning when Data reveals there are Federation personnel invisible among the Ba’ku in their village. Each one is introduced by co-producer/ 2nd unit director Peter Lauritson. We also perceive the storyboards for the sequence and what the visuals perceive like at various stages of production.
“The Epic” features Michael Piller discussing their occupy on the screenplay. Piller relates the tale to the obsessive culture of youth we live in and relates a personal experience that inspired the myth. He discusses the metaphorical nature of the account but also the true world issues that underlie the legend and that could be applied to the 21st century. We also come by footage from the new featurette and interviews from around the same time incorporated into a novel featurettte on the making of the movie. There’s also a piece on the advertising featuring the teaser trailer, theatrical trailer, the current promotional featurette that appeared on the previous DVD and the Borg Invasion Trailer for the Las Vegas attraction. There’s an archieve fraction with Storyboards and a photo gallery.
“Director’s Notebook” consists of video footage shot tedious the scenes of Frakes shooting the film. Featuring a modern interview with Frakes discussing the advance to the record which he felt wasn’t quite as strong as “First Contact”. He felt that the gawk of the movie was a highlight of the film. He also discusses the wretchedness in balancing the fable so that both passe Inch fans can indulge in it but also so that recent Trip fans won’t feel excluded. It’s tremendously difficult with a franchise with so grand backstory as the franchise has. He also discusses the challenges of acting in a film he’s directing.
Oh, and sustain your gape out for Easter eggs on the second disc. There’s one that shows the craft services food and Marina Sirtis discussing how difficult it is for the actors to remain so slim. It’s a bit tongue-in-cheek but also racy. Leer for some of the exiguous logos to the left and upright of the state where the menu is and click on them to access the Easter eggs.
Surprisingly Jonathan Frakes either wasn’t asked or elected not to do a commentary track for this film. It’s a pity because Frakes’ sharp commentary track for “First Contact” was a highlight of that disc. He knows when to say something informative and when to finish mild letting the film do the talking. Many directors could buy lessons from Frakes in terms of doing a commentary track.
There is an extensive text commentary by Michael and Denise Okuda that’s both informative with trivia about everything from Gilbert and Sullivan, to place redresses from the “Voyager” TV note and “First Contact” movie. There’s also humor which has been a hallmark of all the text commentary tracks that the Okudas have done. There’s also plenty of trivia about various episodes and how they characterize to the film. Of course, there’s also some useless information that is there objective to be there but, on the whole, the Okudas continue to be a fount of useful “Lope” information.
“Insurrection” certainly deserved the deluxe treatment that “First Contact”, “Generations” and “Nemesis” received in their DVD incarnations. Hopefully “Nemesis” (one of the most polarizing of “Trip” releases) will also be expanded to a two disc edition but incorporate the best features of the previous version. While not the best of the “Stride” films, “Insurrection” is a beneficial, solid adventure that has lots of humor and fun throughout the film. The visual effects are, as usual, spectacular and this is our first peer of a completely computer generated Enterprise in a film. A top notch release from Paramount, I’d be lively to examine how Paramount could possibly improve this edition when they release the High Definition version of this film on disc.
I found the site for this movie to be thin and bland. The quest for a fountain of youth is not exactly cutting edge science fiction material. There is a sub dwelling with Data and a Baku kid that is compleatly unnecessary. Data and a kid plots have been done to death on the TV point to. Why shroud the same ground again? Evan though the fable is so so, I gave this DVD 5 stars because it is one of the best looking and sounding DVDs on the market. It is narrate perfect. The sound will knock you out of orbit. Also, I give paramount praise for including some extras. Hallelujah! There is some leisurely the scenes footage and two trailers. Usually, paramount delivers squat in the extras department. Compared to Original Line or MGM releases, these extras are a shrimp anemic. But for Paramount it is the natty deluxe fat monty! Watch out this DVD and indulge in the video and audio quality that only DVD can stutter!
