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.

Lisa Alspector, Chicago Reader

Strikes a deft balance of predictable heroics and quirky humor.

Fun for most folks, heaven for Trekkers.

Peter Stack, San Francisco Chronicle
Rotten

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.
