Star Trek: Insurrection (10/10) Movie CLIP - Too Old For This (1998) HD

[@KneelB4Bacon]

You don't often see unfinished blue screen effects on such an epic scale. This set is supposed to be the interior of the collector, which is in space. There's no way that background was intentional. They ran out of time or money.

[@sarahkinsey5434]

I was wondering if this was a deleted scene but there was music and everything.

[@kuribayashi84]

Either or. And then they had no chance but to roll with it, included the blue screen in those two effect shots (0:02 and 0:34) and called it a day. :D

[@matveicat5594]

True but it' kinda works, like some sort of energy manifold effect, Black and stars would look good in one frame but in others it would be unimpressive shadows.

[@DarrenH001]

Pretty sure it was intended. The background's hue is changing ever so slightly throughout the scene, and there are blue lights in the foreground when the supposed chroma key can be seen at the rear. Neither would be the case if it was set up for Blue Screen.

[@yusokrazee]

@@DarrenH001 "It's not a bug, it's a feature." Way to validate laziness, fanboy. Randy Pitchford would be proud.

[@IndomitableT]

Chris Peplinski. Actually Patrick Stewart has been in good shape throughout his career💪🏼🎭🤩

He was 58 years old at the time of filming. Surprisingly decent physical shape. How many more stories could be filmed with this cast. It’s sad.

I honestly don't know why these later Star Trek movies get so much hate. Even my Dad hated them. Personally, enjoyed them a great deal especially with all the action involved. It astonishes me.

[@bobo577]

Star Trek Insurrection is reviled by because of its story. SFDebris and Confused Matthew explain that better than I but to put simply, it presents a moral issue that in theory should make you sympathetic to the Ba’ku but in practice, it shoots its message in the foot because the Ba’ku have no reason to be on the planet and the film is desperate to make you care for them, even using Data’s moral subroutines telling you who to route for. And this is from a guy who actually LIKES Star Trek Insurrection.

[@skeet7903]

Its a mix of contrarianism and changing standards. You were told it was bad but it wasn't that bad so you don't get what the big deal is. You see this literally in every fanbase.

[@DoomFan2010]

In comparison to the TOS movies these were more like Action Trek, which put people off. I like First Contact and Inssurection, I hate Nemesis and I find Generations unnecessary.

[@mickeyhynes]

They've locked the shots off without accounting for any motion tracking I guess. So when it came to replace the blue screen with an external space scene looking down on the planet, it would have been impossibly hard with late 90s technology. It would be hard work even now, although the whole set would be CGI these days.

The funny thing about Star Trek TNG movies, on the comments of each of those movies, I'll always read along of "This is the worst ST TNG movies". Seems like fans are quite evenly divided of what they think as the "worst" one. But they all have one commonality, that is they are really passionate in expressing their opinions of what they consider the worst.

[@KrazyKommieKiller]

Things like this are known to happen when you spend large chunks of your SFX budget on CGI squirrel pets, effect heavy scenes that were cut from the film after the effects were created, and the hiring of multiple guest actors to speak in scenes that were ultimately cut.

I always wondered how the Captain knew how to operate the center console to blow up the collector.

[@troyterry6919]

Because in star trek all the characters magically know how to operate alien consoles.

[@troyterry6919]

I noticed that even gul dukat knows how to operate federation consoles. And klingons, romulans, and cardassians routinely try to sabotage federation systems.

[@thecianinator]

Jonathan Frakes must have either been given a lot less time or a lot less money for this movie, because he clearly put a lot less effort into directing it.

[@GeppettoProductions]

He did a better job than the director of Nemesis. Such an ugly and awkward film that was.

[@mr.metamovies2419]

@@GeppettoProductions Insurrection had the weakest plot, worst effects, worst acting, worst production design, and absolutely lazy direction. Nemesis on the other hand was a billion times better than this crap. Better story, better effects, better sequences, and MUCH better directing than this lazy cash-grab.

[@GeppettoProductions]

@@mr.metamovies2419I disagree in regards to the directing of Insurrection and Nemesis. Nemesis was very poorly directed. Stuart Baird is a film editor by trade. and it shows. He cut out a lot of stuff. And the performances he got from the cast were the worst we've ever seen. Insurrection has a lot of issues and I agree with many of what you've listed. It was at least competently directed. Frakes knows how to direct the TNG cast, unlike Baird.

[@mr.metamovies2419]

@@GeppettoProductions It should be noted that it wasn't Baird who cut those scenes in Nemesis. Rick Berman wanted a shorter theatrical runtime to get it to play at more theaters.

[@GeppettoProductions]

@@mr.metamovies2419 If you listen to the behind the scenes stuff and commentary it sure sounds like Baird is responsible. Baird says he wanted to "get to the action" "so I cut it".

[@thirdworldrider6991]

this ending was reshot. the studio didnt like the first ending. which tbh they were right. so they added this. also they added the battle in the briar patch after the first cut as well. which is why that battle is just... meh. you think two exchanges of fire the whole battle and the rest is shown from inside the ships. i think we see the enterprise fire two torpedoes the whole time. so they wanted it, but time wasnt on their side. unlike nemesis where the big battle was planned from the beginning
