Especially since it's partially inspired by pulp comics. Who cares if it's formulaic, people like the flavor. Just think of a Macguffin and have a charming fedora man get it
I look at something like Uncharted and wonder how Naughty Dog isn't making sequel after sequel.
Well probably not. It's the 8th Star Trek movie. So if you haven't seen the other movies, probably not worth your time.
But I bring it up because of the Prime Directive. A lot of non-Trekkers know about the Prime Directive. It basically states post warp societies can't interact with pre-warp societies because you could interfere with a societies' natural evolution.
In Insurrection they find a planet that has an atmosphere that can regenerate and prolong life. A fountain of youth. On the planet is a small group of people who weren't indigenous to the planet but crashed landed there.
The federation discovers the planet and wants to farm the atmosphere but first have to remove the people. An android, Data, is part of the mission. His job was to help in the covert removal and transport of the population, but his program pulls a HAL and he sabotages the mission.
Anyways my point is as the villain of the movie says. Nothing they are doing violates the Prime Directive. The expansive use of the word genocide, when it isn't made me think of the mustache twirling villain using the words of the Federation aganist them.
Anyways I'm retarded
It's a very charming movie. I particularly enjoy the car rental scene and the scene with the couple warning them about driving the wrong way.
"They keep yelling we're driving the wrong way."
"Ah what do they know they don't even know where we are going?"
"Ohh good point."
She is a beautiful woman
