Star Trek: Insurrection *** (1998, Patrick Stewart, Jonathan Frakes, Brent Spiner, F Murray Abraham) – Classic Movie Review 1924

Jonathan Frakes returns as director for the 1998 ninth Star Trek episode, the third movie featuring the Next Generation characters. It is a very pleasantly entertaining episode, a notch up from Frakes’s previous movie, Star Trek: First Contact (1996).

Patrick Stewart again brings the weight of his acting authority to the role of Captain Jean-Luc Picard, in another proficient, pacy and painless adventure. This time it’s Picard and the crew of the Starship Enterprise E to the rescue as an alien race, the Son’a, led by Adhar Ru’afo (F Murray Abraham, enjoying himself), attack the peaceful, paradisal Bak’u planet.

Frakes also plays Commander Riker and the movie also co-stars Brent Spiner (as Data), Michael Dorn, LeVar Burton, Gates McFadden, Marina Sirtis, Donna Murphy and Anthony Zerbe.

It’s the only Star Trek movie where a Stardate is not given or shown.
