While on a mission to observe the peaceful Ba'ku race, Lieutenant Commander Data suddenly behaves as if having to fear for his existence. The immortal Ba'ku, whose planet offers regenerative radiation, and therefore incredible lifespans, live in harmony with nature and reject advanced technology.

Leave your thoughts about Star Trek: Insurrection.
| San Francisco ExaminerGeorge PowellThe maturity of the Star Trek saga and its remarkable fan base have combined to produce a polished film that shines like a crown jewel in the Star Trek firmament. |

| AboutFilm.comCarlo CavagnaLurches clumsily between drama, hammy comedy, and moral lecturing |
| Jam! MoviesGreg OliverAn acceptable movie to Trek fans, if disappointing. |
| rec.arts.movies.reviewsBob BloomAn enjoyable movie, employing the basics that should endear it to most Trekkers. |
| Filmcritic.comChristopher Nulla sad passing for a once-pioneering series |
| Juicy CerebellumAlex SandellIf Merchant-Ivory produced a 'Star Trek' film, this would be it. |

| The New York TimesStephen HoldenInsurrection is breezily paced, and Michael Piller's screenplay has enough good-natured humor to keep things from bogging down into sentimental pomposity. |
