Star Trek: Insurrection/YMMV: Difference between revisions

* [[Anvilicious]]: Picard's monologues in which he speaks of forced relocation in human history, both with Anij and Admiral Dougherty.

** [[Broken Aesop|Of course, he's carried them out himself a few times...]]

* [[Continuity Lock Out]]: This movie contains several references to ''[[Star Trek: Deep Space Nine]]'' that are meaningless if you weren't watching it at the time.

** It caused an additional problem for non-US viewers as well -- the UK, for instance, was only about halfway through the show's fifth season when the film came out, but the film made references to stuff that happened in the ''seventh'' season.

* [[Crowning Music of Awesome]]: The [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QigWNr2bS0k theme] for the [[Big Bad|Son'a]] is just ''grand''.

* [[Deader Than Disco]]: When it was first released, it had pretty positive reviews, with some reviewers even saying that it broke the "Trek movie curse" (even-numbered movies good, odd-numbered bad). But as time passed, [[Draco in Leather Pants|with more viewers agreeing with the villains]], and [[Franchise Killer|the whole Trek franchise grinding to a standstill]], it's now regarded as one of the weakest Trek films.

* [[Fan Dumb]]: Many of the Son'a's fanclub attempt to use the Star Trek phrase "The needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few" to justify the oppression of the Bak'u and the attempted destruction of their culture. Nevermind that this has been the excuse for every single mass land theft and forced relocation in history, which Picard specifically calls out in the movie itself. But hey, healthcare! Need it gotta have it kill anyone who stands in the way!

* [[Growing the Beard]]: An extremely fitting inversion, as the very beard that inspired the phrase is shaved off right around the point that the entire franchise started to decline.

*** At least one extended universe novel handwaves the Enterprise going in the opposite direction of the war for plot purposes by stating that it and the crew are just as high-profile in-universe as they are to the viewers, if not moreso, and thus they can't be deployed to the front lines for fear of inspiring the Dominion to throw a completely disproportionate response at whatever force its assigned to (unfortunately, why no one thinks to use this to bait the Dominion into an ambush or at least an unwise engagement is not covered.) Or just move the crew to another ship for their diplomatic work and put the flagship back in the fight.

** The Federation were currently operating in a time of war against the Dominion and they are ''losing''. More than one reviewer has noted that it wouldn't have been too hard to have the crew become divided over whether removing 600 people to potentially save ''billions'' is the morally right option.

* [[Wangst]]: Ru'afo basically spends the whole movie doing nothing but whining and complaining.
