Star Trek: Insurrection 1998

A solid if not spectacular entry into the series, this has all the hallmarks of an extended TV episode of the show on a larger budget. The problem is that most of the themes and ideas covered in the film are similar if not the same to those covered by the show several times and there are some aspects of the plot that are a little too contrived. There is some fun to be had from watching the crew deal with the effects of the planet they are on and the exterior location and sets are stunning and a welcome change. The action sequences are noticeable for a bigger scope and budget than before and this all makes for an enjoyable enough experience, if lacking in anything new to the series.
