I read that Industrial Light & Magic wasn't available to do this movie because they were working on "The Phantom Menace" and one other project. It showed. "Stark Trek: Insurrection" should've waited for ILM because the third rate quality of the CGI was a huge downer. Whatever they spent on this movie was too much.
STI is the third installment of the Next Generation Star Treks. I'm not going to attempt to explain the plot in much detail because most of the jargon went over my head. It all boiled down to a race of beings on a remote planet which has some "metaphasic radiation" which keeps them young. Some other alien-like beings want to remove them from the planet for the planet's youth-making properties.
The movie was so generic it looked as if it were made for T.V. I don't mean HBO or Showtime, but NBC, CBS, or ABC type T.V. The whole movie had a sanitized non-dramatic look and feel. Even the most dire moments were short lived and cast little doubt about their outcome. It's hard to get behind a movie that is so sorely lacking real drama.
