"Does anyone even think about the details of a movie before they make it?" Hey, here in 2021, and I'm happy to report that this new generation of writers are nailing it completely. Star Wars, Star Trek, Terminator, Predator, Aliens, all your favorites are in good hands.
@big boss bob ross I was actually able to get a 720p copy saved from a service that is streaming it free right now. I am working on getting a higher bit-rate 1080p version. Screen capture would work but I don't like the transcoding involved which loses quality and possible dropped frames. I would like to work from the highest quality source available.
27:11 "One person aboard. It's the android." I love how spontaneously respectful they are about Data's person-hood. I mean, yes. His friends consider him a person and he's officially classified as a person by Starfleet, and I suppose the majority of the audience agrees. But you would think that the antagonists of the story, that have every reason to hate Data, would be more inclined to speak of him as an "it," kinda like they did earlier, with the "Next time, leave your android at home." That line really should've been more like: "No people aboard. Just the android."

The original Star Trek would have dismissed the Baku as misguided and harmful. They clearly aren’t accomplishing much; living so long is causing them to put things off rather than learn. Kirk would have encouraged them to embrace technology and space travel as a good thing, and to quit being so paranoid and antisocial.
How I would have done this story was have the Ba'ku be the real villains, while the Son'a are the good guys. There would be a moment that Picard realizes that he's been defending the wrong side and decides to turn against the Ba'ku in order to help the Son'a. In the end, it turns out that there is no right side, as both races just want whats best for their people and Picard has both races sign a peace treaty between the Federation, Ba'ku, and Son'a so that each group gets equal amounts of the metaphasic radiation.
Too similar to _The Undiscovered Country._ That movie may have been just as good as _Wrath of Khan_ (and even been made by the same people), but it didn't sell as much merchandise, so they'll never do that again. Only big dumb action movies from now on, until CBS eventually lose their claim to the copyrights on the franchise.
One thing that I never understood was the status of the Baku and their planet. It is said to be the Federation's planet and not theirs. HOW? 1 Even if they came from another planet, if they are the first ones to settle there, how did it become the Federation's planet if it isn't the Baku's? Is there some exception in the prime directive? Could you then say that the Romulans don't own Romulus, a former uninhabited planet found first by Vulcans, that it could be added to the Federation if the Romulans were defeated?? 2 The Baku settled on the planet in Federation space, the Federation let them and only later discovered the anti-aging thing. If that is the case, piss off. BUT this doesn't work because the woman says it has been 300 years SINCE she has SEEN a bald man, that means they have been living there for far longer than the Federation existed. So again, how can anyone claim it is the Federation's planet? And yes them not using technology has NOTHING to do with them living on a youth-giving planet. They could do that anywhere and not once are they asked how they can live with that, how they deny 800 billion people medical treatment that could save lives in cases that would not work if they just were put on the planet. Last, I thought the big dilemma, so to speak, was with the longevity of the device. I thought the new medical device from the rings would make the planet uninhabitable, but again save a lot of lives and regrow stuff, etc that would take a long time on the planet, BUT THEN IT IS GONE. It would be harvested, like a dried up lake which means that no-one, not even the Baku would live a longer life anymore and no-one could be healed. But if it was implied that the rings would be turned into some form of powerplant that could save people faster even after decades in the future, just the same AND give youth rays, including to the Baku, then that would render that point moot, EVEN for the use in the FEDERATION. The only concern should be for the animal and plant life on the planet. But his all hinges on the Baku being on the planet before the Federation. You can still can them selfish assholes, though.

It’s a great excuse to film in California to cut down on cost and appease the main cast actors who might not have wanted to travel too far/travel somewhere too far away from creature comforts.
@@ThreadBomb Honestly, it's not even "noble savage", it's more this weird pastoral colonial-era fantasy. Actually, speaking of, I don't think there are any nonwhite Ba'ku. It's not just that there's not any named Ba'ku who aren't white, I can't see any even in crowd shots. Which is weird, because whenever we see Starfleet, even in this movie, it's pretty racially diverse with all manner of ethnicities among the human characters. It really makes you wonder just what other values the Ba'ku hold.
I'm going to assume that if the Ba'ku had access to interstellar space travel, then they probably could have made some means of birth control. But man oh man, is Mr. Plinkett right on point on just about everything else!
I just love the fact that they did not bother to find something for Dr. Crusher to do in this film, so she's just there in random scenes trying to look like a vital memeber of the crew :D
23:10 minor point: inertial dampers are almost always functioning in trek scenarios, they just suffer to some degree from damage and power loss. If the dampers were fully offline, people would break every bone in all of their bodies all over the ship. it's a plot device, but it's a consistent one.
@@whatr0 I'd say they're largely not good Star Trek, but they're good movies on their own. Much like the Kelvin movies, they're not Stat Trek but they're largely competently made cinema.

The TNG movies, for their faults, are a welcome revisit after experiencing the intellectual vomit that is Star Trek Discovery. And the genetic space action flicks that are the JJ Abrams movies (though Beyond was actually decent).

No, remember that the kid was just 12, and he wouldn’t be immortal until he grew up? But aside from that, even a 300 year old woman with MILFy qualities will still have an empty egg basket. Ain’t math a bitch?
According to Wikipedia this actually the most expensive Next Gen movie. Work that out if you will. F. Murray Abraham must've been hella expensive. The problem with this movie is that I have zero sympathy for the supposed innocent victims. I can barely ever remember which is which. They both sound like they could be bad or good. So the Ba'ku landed there by pure accident and decided that they'd stay. They could've spent their significantly longer lifespans trying to figure out a way to capture what makes the planets fountain of youth work for others and potentially help untold hundreds of millions of people in the process. Instead they stay and keep it all to themselves. Frankly I see no problem with transporting them off world if it'll help others as well as the So'na who probably wouldn't be so crazed if they'd have just been allowed to soak up some of that life giving goodness. I mean, what exactly are the Ba'ku doing that's worth a few hundred of them occupying an entire planet? This really feels like a classic "needs of the many outweighing the needs of the few". The inconvenience done to a few hundred Ba'ku is insignificant to the many billions or trillions of humans and other races across the galaxy. The fact the Ba'ku can't get behind that makes them selfish and quite evil. "Well we could figure out how to save so many people I can't even wrap my head around a number so high. On the other hand, who will water my plants when I'm gone? This seems like an easy choice. The plants are far more important". It's not like their lives will be crazy short. After living on the planet for awhile I'm sure they'll have enough goodness stored to push beyond what most people get. And since this is the future and there's all manner of life extending science. Who knows, maybe the guy who was trying to make the cellular entertainment and regeneration chamber just needed some of the special particle radiation from the planet to finally perfect his machine. Even still, look at someone like Leonard "Bones" McCoy. The guy was only retiring at the ripe old age of 137 years old. He must've still had a fair bit of life in him. The Ba'ku's time on the planet could've extended that another hundred years even after they left. I realize I keep repeating myself but they seriously bug me and it ruins any chance the movie had.
The original Star Trek would have dismissed the Baku as misguided and harmful. They clearly aren’t accomplishing much; living so long is causing them to put things off rather than learn. Kirk would have encouraged them to embrace technology and space travel as a good thing, and to quit being so paranoid and antisocial.
I would love to know if people like Rick Berman and Michael Piller have seen these reviews. I would love to see the expressions on their faces watching them. "Does anyone even think about the details of a movie before they make it?!" LOL!
Michael Piller, the Insurrection writer, died in 2005. He wrote a book "Fade In: The Making of Star Trek Insurrection", a PDF of which can be found on the net, in which he describes in great detail from appointment to critical response.
The first 40 seconds sums up what I think about this film. It's the closest to Star Trek out of all the TNG films, and it felt like a good two-parter. As a film, First Contact is the best. Star Trek works best as an episodic TV show.
mintydog06 Yeah, exactly. Insurrection feels like the hypothetical S9->S10 two-parter (the e1 cliffhanger is when they find the holoship!) that we might have got if Paramount had decided to send a Law and Order-style long-running TNG over to anchor UPN instead of Voyager, and I honestly mean that as a compliment. Substitute the TOS crew for Cochrane and the 23rd century for the 21st and First Contact is what Generations should have been.
Greatest show opening narrations of all time: 1) "Space: The final frontier...", 2) "You unlock this door with the key of imagination..." 3) "Star Trek -- Insurrection sucks my balls."
I invite traditional Star Trek fans to enjoy a completely free novel, just Google Star Trek Lost Destiny. I was annoyed by Worf's bazooka. Really, that's the best we can do for a weapon?
Well…only memorable to ME!😢 Jump number 12 was technically a night jump on the Thursday evening before opening weekend of the the movie’s release, but it was at dusk, so we would STILL have Friday off for recovery, making a three day weekend. Our first sergeant re-upped on board the flight, so we were all pumped to go out the door… And we were the last ones in North Carolina to see the sunset. This crappy movie’s opening night was part of that, and it was GREAT!😂😭🥲
First two were funny and spot on. This one's biggest complaint was the budget, idk. The Data plot hole isnt much compared to what we've seen, hence the fake anvil on the foot edit when that's not how it happened. The wood rotted with the anvil, data was the only one who could tolerate the radiation which is why he was chosen for the mission, and if he wasnt there to do experiments thereafter - they all would have died. This review, comedic or not, "doesn't make sense on so many levels".

Even still, look at someone like Leonard "Bones" McCoy. The guy was only retiring at the ripe old age of 137 years old. He must've still had a fair bit of life in him. The Ba'ku's time on the planet could've extended that another hundred years even after they left. I realize I keep repeating myself but they seriously bug me and it ruins any chance the movie had.
The original Star Trek would have dismissed the Baku as misguided and harmful. They clearly aren’t accomplishing much; living so long is causing them to put things off rather than learn. Kirk would have encouraged them to embrace technology and space travel as a good thing, and to quit being so paranoid and antisocial.
09:50 Starring Patrick Stewart as "Captain Prickhard"
Welcome back!
I use Plinkett's dulcet tones to sleep and this getting claimed and blocked messed with my nights.
I beginning to suspect the web-zone thing is a scam. No pizza rolls so far
This is incredible. Truly doing god's work.
The best part of this movie was Donna Murphy.
All of a sudden...I want some pizza rolls. Can't imagine why
I would love to know if people like Rick Berman and Michael Piller have seen these reviews. I would love to see the expressions on their faces watching them. "Does anyone even think about the details of a movie before they make it?!" LOL!
Michael Piller, the Insurrection writer, died in 2005. He wrote a book "Fade In: The Making of Star Trek Insurrection", a PDF of which can be found on the net, in which he describes in great detail from appointment to critical response.
Thanks for your quality work.
GJ!
The calibrate button plays "H.M.S. Pinafore". The first button press was unrelated.
The first 40 seconds sums up what I think about this film. It's the closest to Star Trek out of all the TNG films, and it felt like a good two-parter. As a film, First Contact is the best. Star Trek works best as an episodic TV show.
mintydog06 Yeah, exactly. Insurrection feels like the hypothetical S9->S10 two-parter (the e1 cliffhanger is when they find the holoship!) that we might have got if Paramount had decided to send a Law and Order-style long-running TNG over to anchor UPN instead of Voyager, and I honestly mean that as a compliment. Substitute the TOS crew for Cochrane and the 23rd century for the 21st and First Contact is what Generations should have been.
I just watched another video review of this movie by another TH-camr, and I had to come back here to make sure he didn't eat my pizza rolls.
They should release special editions for all the Plinkett reviews.
I need to see the Baby’s Day Out review in 8k!
The Son'a Collector did look like the Vorlon Ship that carried Ambassador Kosh around.
Greatest show opening narrations of all time: 1) "Space: The final frontier...", 2) "You unlock this door with the key of imagination..." 3) "Star Trek -- Insurrection sucks my balls."
Hm, this DOESN'T remind me of that time in Star Trek, or any times in Star Trek for that matter... 🤔
I invite traditional Star Trek fans to enjoy a completely free novel, just Google Star Trek Lost Destiny. I was annoyed by Worf's bazooka. Really, that's the best we can do for a weapon?
I wonder if his grandkids got to meet Mickey yet......
Yo, this is fantastic. Did you hand-edit all this together and re-use the audio track?
Yes. It takes alot of time.
@@CopterBlue Wow, that's dedication.
What other kind of editing is there?
@@CopterBlue I'm sorry, but writing "alot" is unacceptable. 😠 Please edit your comment forthwith.
@@Reggie1408 Perhaps he could have edited it with his feet? I think hand-editing looks better though.
Your work should be commended
3:59 and 4:13 Holy Crap! It's the guy at the donut shop in Wayne's World that got laid off. He's gonna file a complaint with the union.
Well the world’s a twisted place
That kind of dock floats. It still doesn't make complete sense but that almost explains it.
17:10? Wait those people are aliens? I thought they were humans living on another planet?
17 year old me when i seen this in a theater. I thought it was a decent episode but a poor movie.
What an amazing job, thank you it looks great.
Brilliant. Insurrection is hugely inconsistent. So true. So unmemorable
Well…only memorable to ME!😢 Jump number 12 was technically a night jump on the Thursday evening before opening weekend of the the movie’s release, but it was at dusk, so we would STILL have Friday off for recovery, making a three day weekend. Our first sergeant re-upped on board the flight, so we were all pumped to go out the door… And we were the last ones in North Carolina to see the sunset. This crappy movie’s opening night was part of that, and it was GREAT!😂😭🥲
But wait for it....Data is a flotation device! He must’ve had Batman DNA in him, prepared for anything!
I really don’t like those comfortable cardigan looking uniforms. It accentuates the ageing of the crew.
We now need Plinket's review of The Acolyte, and not 20 years from now either.
First two were funny and spot on. This one's biggest complaint was the budget, idk. The Data plot hole isnt much compared to what we've seen, hence the fake anvil on the foot edit when that's not how it happened. The wood rotted with the anvil, data was the only one who could tolerate the radiation which is why he was chosen for the mission, and if he wasnt there to do experiments thereafter - they all would have died. This review, comedic or not, "doesn't make sense on so many levels".
Thank you good sir, youre doing Jupiters work... Or Venus's, or Athena's...
Also, in that episode with "Mister Radioactive", how is it this alien humanoid species can read... You know... ENGLISH TEXT?!?!?
I would have to check to be sure, but I recall that Data reads the word, the guy just repeats it since he doesn't know what it means.
@@Dilandau3000 Oh hey Dilandau! Crazy to see you here, love your let's plays
It’s so dense, every shot has so much going on
F you Rick Berman....you ruined this too?
I tried fixing the blue screen effect myself, the control panels didnt look good but I managed to pull it off pretty well.
Weird how that one Ba'ku man in the green top looks so much like a skinnier Kirk.
1:37 or maybe the recognized that using toxic chemicals for a little color wasn't worth the health hazard?
Admiral Old Man's monologue gets me every time
