The general take seems to be that while it may not be quite as good as First Contact, it really captures the spirit of the TNG series and the camaraderie amongst the crew.
The story also returns to Gene Roddenberry's vision of what Star Trek was all about and has a strong moralistic theme. Fans think the humour aspect works well and that the lighter tone of the film makes it a 'feel good' movie.

Report from Variety.com
'Insurrection' warps up estimated $22.4 million
Paramount’s “Star Trek: Insurrection” rocketed to a studio-estimated $22.4 million debut, the third highest opening in the space franchise’s19-year history on the big screen. But while the sci-fi sequel is only the fifth December release ever to top $20 million, it landed somewhat short of studio expectations, which were fueled by extremely promising pre-opening tracking.
Launching in 2,620 locations, “Star Trek: Insurrection” managed a solid $8,550 per screen average in its freshman frame. As is typical for “Star Trek” pics, attendance was off about 16% Saturday compared to Friday, when hardcoreTrekkies thronged megaplexes.
The previous “Star Trek” sequel, “First Contact,” debuted to $30.7 million on Nov. 22,1996, eventually amassing a $92 million cume. But “Insurrection’s” debut appears to be more in line with that of the seventh installment, “Star Trek: Generations” which bowed to $23.1 million in Nov. 18, 1994, and finished at $75.7 million.
On the plus side, “Insurrection” will face little direct competition for its core male audience of sci-fi action fans in the coming weeks, when more female and date-driven pics like “You’ve Got Mail,” “Stepmom” and “Patch Adams” enter the marketplace. And given the pic’s moderate budget of just under $60 million — and the franchise’s growing appeal overseas — “Insurrection” looks likely to continue “Star Trek’s” nearly two-decade winning streak.
Chat live online with Patrick and the TNG crew tonight!
