Star Trek - Insurrection

Its been quite a long time since I watched a star trek episode let alone a complete movie. I have been a big fan of Star Trek - TNG (The next Generation) since my childhood. Ever since we got cable TV I got hooked up to this sci-fi series being aired then on Star TV. Then I came to know from one of the e! uncut series that full length movies were being made by Jonathan Frakes (Who plays Cmdr. William Riker). I did see movies like Star Trek- Generations and Nemesis but I missed Insurrection. After waiting for a long time I could lay my hands upon it thanks to the latest p2p services on the net.

There are people who dismiss Star Trek as some nonsense. There are people who compare it with freak show with all those weird alien faces that come across on the series. But what they fail to notice is that every one of these episodes wether canned for the small screen or the big one is based on the lessons learnt from history. The sci-fi eries perhaps reiterates the fact that Earth is a microcosm of the entire universe in terms of life forms and their emotions - not only like love but also things like greed and hatred.

"Insurrection" is no different. What happened in history when ever a section of the human race was forcefully dislodged from their homeland? Conflicts arose. The never ending ones. During our partition, in west bank - we see that it has happened and see it happening around in our world. The USS Enterprise and its crew come to the rescue of a race of people called "Buccans" from being dislodged from their home planet because some selfish allies of the Federation have found that the "Metaphasic Radiation" coming from the planets rings results in ever lasting youth.

The cast of the Star Trek with the 5 major charcaters Jean-Luc, Riker, Troi, Crusher and Data played by Patrick Stewart, Jonathan Frakes, Marina Sirtis, Gates Mc Fadden and Bretn Spiner respectively were looking fabulous and were a treat to watch. If you are a sci-fi fan then I recommend you to watch it.
