About the movie

Star Trek: Insurrection is a 1998 science fiction feature film, the ninth based on the Star Trek television series.

The film was directed by Jonathan Frakes, from a script by Michael Piller and Rick Berman, with music composed by Jerry Goldsmith.

Insurrection grossed $70,187,658 in the U.S. and $112,600,000 worldwide against a $58,000,000 budget.

Plot

Lt. Cmdr. Data, on a mission to observe the race of Ba'ku, suddenly behaves as if having to fear for his existance. The peaceful Ba'ku, whose planet offers regenerative radiation and therefore incredible lifespans, live in harmony with nature and reject any kind of technology. Their planet and their culture is studied by the starfleet and the associated Son'a - in secrecy. But the So'na, lead by Ru'afo, intend to abduct the Ba'ku in order to take the planet for themselves and for the starfleet officials who all would like to regenerate their bodies. But they did not think of the loyalty of the Enterprise's crew to the Prime Directive. (IMDB)

Deleted scenes

Several scenes were cut before release of the movie:

  • An extended library scene in which Riker and Troi throw small paper balls at each other. This scene also includes some lines by the librarian (Lee Arnone-Briggs) and a Trill officer (Max Grodenchik)
  • A scene in which Picard and Anij kiss each other.
  • A scene in which Picard spills cheese on a PADD displaying the Briar Patch.
  • The actual ejection of the warp core.
  • Data reporting the condition of the Captain's Yacht being "precarious" and then beaming out before it explodes, explaining why the yacht is ultimately absent in the end.
  • Data punching some Son'a on the Ba'ku planet and nailing them with isolinear tags.
  • The line "There will be no cover-up" on the Son'a ship.
  • The original version of the fight between Picard and Ru'afo contained an additional scene. After Picard was beamed away by the Enterprise, Ru'afo fell into the rings of the Ba'ku planet and was regressed into a young child. This scene was cut from the final film, but a "Young Ru'afo" (played by Phillip Glasser) is still listed in the credits.
  • Armin Shimerman was originally to appear at the end of the film as his Star Trek: Deep Space Nine character Quark; the scene was filmed, but Frakes felt it did not fit in with the rest of the film and cut it.[2]

Many of these scenes were included in the 2005 Special Collector's Edition release of the film.
