The extravagant makeup and special effects are actually unobtrusive because they're demanded by the pleasantly formulaic story, whose conflicts--and broad, innocuous political allegory -- justify the heartwarming resolution.

Critics on Rotten Tomatoes
Top critics, in their words
Strikes a deft balance of predictable heroics and quirky humor.
Fun for most folks, heaven for Trekkers.
More of the the same-old -same-old.
The latest and ninth installment in that line, Star Trek: Insurrection, lacks the adrenalized oomph of its predecessor, but no adventure of the Starship Enterprise is without its gee-whiz affability.
