The Enterprise crew must protect an ancient society’s fountain of youth from hammy villains who will do anything to get it. “Insurrection” could have been “Star Trek: Heart of Darkness,” but only a sliver of that potential can be seen here, in a movie that goes too light in tone after the “seriousness” of hit “Star Trek: First Contact.”
An over-the-top villain, cheap production values, and yet another climax (the series’ third!) featuring Picard struggling to stop a bad guy’s doomsday device from activating sully one of the worst odd-numbered Enterprise missions. (And don’t get us started on Data being used as a flotation device.)
