Title: Insurrection could've shined but stumbles.
Product review: Insurrection begins with a supurb teaser opening with Data running amuck on the peaceful Baku planet. Downhill from there. While trying to maintain ultimate 'cuteness', this film becomes silly and unfulfilling. Frakes decides to deep six the starship models and opts for CGI only - and it shows. When I saw this movie in the theater I thought the Enterprise looked fuzzy because of the screen I saw it on (although it was at Mann's Chinese theater in Hollywood!). Upon DVD viewing I saw that all the starship shots are fuzzy because of the CGI rendering. They almost look video game-ish. Nothing, plot-wise, is taken to fruition, except the warmed up left-over we've eaten once before - the bad guy gets blown up in the end. Stewart and co-stars are capable of so much more - let's hope the next time the crew dons their space tights they become three dimensional characters that are actually headed somewhere.
