Storyline

Enterprise crew member Data was taking part in an operation the Federation has with a race known as the So'na to observe another race known as the Ba'ku. They're wearing stealth suits so that the Ba'ku cannot see them. But suddenly Data rips off his suit and reveals himself and exposes everyone. Picard is them contacted by Admiral Dougherty who tells Picard that Data has to be stopped even if it means destroying him. Picard asks for permission to try and stop him without doing that. He succeeds. He then tries to find out what happened to Data. That's when they discover of a plot by the So'na and the Federation to remove the Ba'ku from the planet because they want to tap the radiation being emitted by the nearby planet's rings which have regenerative properties. Picard then airs his objections to Dougherty who tells him that everything they're doing is within the Federation guidelines. That's when Picard steps down as Captain and decides to help the Ba'ku.

Attracted to Older Women,or Picard's Idyll
13 July 2006 | by (CGSM,Soseaua Nationala 49) – See all my reviews

Prior to being SF,Western,sexy,or otherwise,a movie,any movie,ought to be,first,an excellent cinematographic achievement,good cinematography. In fact,there is no such thing as "great SF",or "great Western",but only great cinematography.

"Star Trek IX" is a masterpiece of naturalness,humor,casualness,wit and art.This way,SF adventure who does not choose the dystopia avoids also the insipid utopianism.

Frakes directed the "Star Trek" movies that I like most.This is what I want from a SF movie."Star Trek:Insurrection" is charming and fluent.

Stewart,Spiner,Mrs. McFadden do great job in this film.

Fortunately,Mrs. Sirtis has a greater role.

There is a wonderful flavor of intelligence and good taste in this movie.

"Star Trek" VIII and IX,Frakes' works,are mature movies,with a wealth of ideas,resourcefulness,creativity,etc.,an exquisite visual quality, what I've always wished and asked for.
