This movie is tons of fun, and I highly recommend it to any fans of Star Trek. From a person who has seen, now, every Star Trek film but one, I can say that this is one of the best. I am partial to the old Spock/Kirk crew as opposed to Next Generation crew, and this one feels much more like a Kirk/Spock adventure than the good, but threatening, FIRST CONTACT. The story is average Star Trek fare: Picard and his crew must save a utopian planet from a disastrous union between the Federation and a violent race bent on vengeance. There really isn't anything too bad in this PG adventure. Some people are shot, and one man burns alive (off-screen) but none of it's graphic. There is some mild, harmless sexual innuendo between Riker and Deanna, and later they are shown together in a bathtub (no nudity at all). There is also one "d**n" and three "h*ll"s.

What Parents Need to Know
About Star Trek: Insurrection
Parents need to know that two longtime characters in the Next Generation cast plunge into a playful sexual relationship under the aphrodisiac influence of an alien environment, and they cuddle in a hot tub with alcoholic beverages (by the next movie, Star Trek: Nemesis, they are married). No explicit sensuality or nudity, though. Ray-gun space battles, explosions, and perils include combatants taking fatal falls, and children and families fleeing from an ariel attack -- though rather than being killed the victims are beamed into captivity, making it more like "tag." There is some barely-PG-worthy profanity, and the villains are ugly aliens who undergo frequent plastic surgery. One uses a sort of facelift machine to kill a character.

Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about Picard's decision to defy Starfleet. Compare the attitudes in this movie with those in the original 1960s TV show, when Starfleet -- pretty much an idealized vision of the U.S. military -- was a righteous authority that simply never made any mistakes. You could also talk about the parallels this script makes with the real world. What historical events are similar? What other sci-fi books and movies draw parallels to real history?
