Best Trek Movie Moment 9: Insurrection

[Varthikes]

Insurrection's turn.

I'm going to go with Evacuating the village. Goldsmith's score there is excellent!

Although, I love Picard's conversation with Admiral Dougherty.

I'd say, Data having fun. A sight I never thought I would see.

[Sionnach Glic]

The battle. It was the only remotely interesting bit of the whole film.

[Tsukiyumi]

I thought Data kicking the dogshit out everyone who tried to touch him at the beginning was one of the coolest things I've ever seen on film. Uzume actually laughed out loud when Data smacked one of them out of the frame (she'd never seen Insurrection until two months ago).

Riker gets a shave - or more accurately, Data checking to see if Rikers face was indeed "smooth as an androids bottom".

Watching him actually check, consider, and then answer by a shake of the head was absolutely great, but I loved seeing the E-E gang pull a bit of dirty trickery by way of the dummy Son'a bridge.

When does it become wrong? wins my vote. It was the moment that I knew Picard was going to go against the admiral.

This movie would have been better if there had been a Federation vessel involved. It would have been a more interesting battle, as the E-E would want to try and avoid damaging the other Federation ship. It would also introduce another subplot that could've made the move far more popular.

Why would they do anything of the sort? If you're involved in a fight, you fight.

[Reliant121]

The Enteprise's battle with the Sona Battleships. I kinda felt like Insurrection was the TNG film equivalent of ST V. A fair bit of humour involved and a mediocre story.

Data stroking Riker was good though

BTW i taped ST V recently....what a load of crap. The only thing i liked was the Enterprises interior...it was brighter and more comfy than the ST VI one. And I prefer that. Its sort or more Mercedes-Constitution compared to ST VI's BMW M-Connie

Geordi watching the sunrise. In a film that was at best mediocre, that stands out to me as very well acted by Stewart and Burton.

You try to disable the ship not destroy it. Sorry I wasn't more specific in my wording. It's much harder to disable a ship then destroy it. You can just pound a ship you're trying to destroy with everything you've got, but if you're trying to disable it, you have to hold back if you're trying to avoid casualties.

That was my point. They'd either have to disable the fed ship or cross a line and destroy it.

[Captain Seafort]

That was my point. They'd either have to disable the fed ship or cross a line and destroy it.

What line? If someone's trying to kill you I don't see much of a line being crossed if you return the favour.

[stitch626]

I think he means the line created by Starfleet Command (the admiral on Ruafo's ship).

I voted for that as well. Solid acting by both of them.

They weren't trying to kill the E-E, well not officially, they were trying to escort it back to the Ba'ku planet so they wouldn't contact the Federation.

And the line they'd be crossing, is the one where you destroy a ship in the same fleet as your own. That's usually not condoned in any armed forces I know of.
