This is a top, top contender for worse Star Trek ever made among fans. I'm not sure I'd go that far. I think Star Trek: The Motion Picture (known as the "Slow-Motion Picture") dragged unbelievably, while Insurrection would rank as one of the worse Next Generation television episodes, let alone films. And I do rather like the idea of Sybok--that Spock has not only a brother, but a renegade brother. There were some nice moments among Kirk, Spock, and McCoy in this one too. Now if we could only get Uhura's fan dance cut...
A religious fanatic hijacks the Enterprise.
Wow, what a piece of crap. Besides failing to be entertaining, it also doesn't bother to make any sense. And can someone tell me why David Warner is standing around in the background with almost no lines, while a random Sean Connery lookalike is playing a lead role?
