Star Trek: Insurrection

(Paramount)

In the second solo chapter devoted to the Next Generation cast, Captain Jean-Luc Picard (a more light-hearted Patrick Stewart) and the Enterprise crew visit a technologically antiquated culture on a lush planet that turns out to be a fountain of youth. Naturally, a creepy, facelift-fanatical race of beings known as the Son'a (led by F. Murray Abraham) have designs on it. Picard, at his prime-directive best, arrives on the scene and gets pulled into another deep-space conundrum. Insurrection is pure Star Trek hokum that wisely goes where it's gone before.
