Star Trek Insurrection Review (Part 3 of 4)

[seekoober]

Heck, you gotta press more than 2 buttons on the microwave if you wanna make a pizza roll!

[desiduds]

You would think that Picards perfect moment was when he was in the nexus in Star Trek Generations, and he sees his wife and his children but most importantly he sees his nephew, right? Guess I was wrong

[helljumpr5150]

For the lit up night scenes, the planet DOES have rings. They can be reflective enough to shed light to the planets dark side by the limits of the planets shadow.

[kaywest207]

The "perfect moment" gag made me spit out my coffee.

[obiwanobiwan13]

@kaywest207 Eh, just press a couple buttons and it'll get cleaned up (or you'll have to start singing about British Tars and Dear Little Buttercup, one of the two.)  ;)

[WhiteBolls92]

What is it with Ricks?

[anphorus]

I completely lost it at the whole "stuntmen pulled off the bridge with cables" bit. Bravo

[CoxRocksThis]

it's not about U

[GoldmansNephew]

Bringing up the play with 2 buttons isn't so weird. It was obviously a shortcut command, like speed-dial.

[drgonzo72001]

@GoldmansNephew

right, because every federation shuttle keeps hms pinafore on speed dial.

[sethaus75]

Ha ha. Why do they let you keep this shit up? I would think they would've shut you down. LOL.

[jroeder0]

Plinkett = God

[destyrian]

To Rick Berman and Brannon Braga,

fuck you!

[TokoGT]

Internal dampeners didn't exist really until the TNG era.

[mbtion]

hey asshole, get some new cloths! too funny

[MrHEC381991]

Really, just glad to be working. lol!

[MsMarc1234]

LOl that stunt scene is SO bad :D

[MsMarc1234]

@davenielsen78 Never seen it, but that one scene might be the worst stunt work I have ever seen :D Its ridicules they didnt cut that shot.

[scaredofmilk]

I was talking about this crappy movie the other day. This is hilarious.

[TheMerkedya]

HAHA did anyone notice at 4:33 the baby go off the bridge OMG that was so funny

[lrossi888]

Inertial dampeners have to be on at almost all times on a starship, so it's not a stretch to say that Picard and Worf were not killed during the shuttle scene.

[daiklaive]

@lrossi888 it's only a stretch when the script decides it is. "For the sake of drama Ensign Ricky is thrown from his chair annnnnd scene!"

[lrossi888]

@daiklaive Inertial dampeners aren't perfect. :P

[daiklaive]

@lrossi888 and neither are writers ;p

[dogdrovenorth]

1'34, that pretty little humming bird is glad to be working.

[Freddran]

@RedLetterMedia Did you think about option, that bigger federation starship dropped the crew on surface and then flew away, lefting them just recon ship?

[Deepsmeg]

@Freddran Or they came up on the holoship

[K9mc100]

Will you do a review of "Star trek V: The Final Frontier"

[dogdrovenorth]

@K9mc100

Oh yes, please do. I'd love to see the poorest of the family go through the ringer.

[asuch874]

Stupid stuntmen, not helping the baku.

[IIIIandrew]

2 buttons brings up hms pinafore

3 buttons destroys the ship

4 buttons beams everyone into space

[rd1999]

so funny

[iwanaGoFast2010]

FUCK YOU RICK BERMAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!

[ajcusn]

Picard had the "H.M.S. Pinafore" on speed dial.

[thedreamdealer]

Magnetic balls are keeping Worf and Picard in their seats - chuck sent me :D

[SiriusLumino]

"Where's all that light coming from?"

The Saturn-like rings would reflect even more light than just a moon.

Oh, and there isn't red gas everywhere. At 4:53 you can clearly see oceans and continents.

[SciMasterGeneral]

@SiriusLumino There;s no sun idiot! He's talking about the red gas outside the plantes atmosphere.

[zofspade]

@SiriusLumino ...Or they got lazy and filmed it without making it look like an alien planet...Which is his point.

[REDxDEADxRANDY]

What is the name of the music at 1:50?

[itchyisvegeta]

actually, the lighting on the planet at night could come from the rings. Saturn, rings are the brightest part of the planet through a high powered telescope, so this is not illogical.

[allnotathome]

@itchyisvegeta

Saturn's rings are mostly pure ice, hence the brightness. They're bright because the sunlight beams back from them into the telescope and into your eye. Once there is a planet between the sun AND the rings, i.e nighttime, it wouldn't be this bright.

Jupiter, Uranus, Neptune all have rings made out of different parts of dust, not pure ice. Even if Baku planets rings were pure ice, they wouldn't even create moonlight conditions like on Earth. It's illogical and shitty writing.

[guysmiley00]

@itchyisvegeta I don't know - how much light from a ring would actually be reflected back onto the night-side of a planet? The orientation of the ring relative to the planet and the sun would have a huge effect, one would think. And how much light would a ring reflect relative to a moon, given that one is solid and the other much more dissolute? Wouldn't a lot of the light be scattered amongst the individual particles of the ring, rather than just reflected?

[becwardle1]

at 4:17, is that a klingon bird of prey?

[Sinjin90]

spot on review, love your comments, almost lost bladder control while watching this

[darthspeaks]

This is so funny because I have this old crotchety old guy living next door who talks JUST LIKE THIS! HAHA

[sagaofbluewing]

I had to pause the video after the "stuntmen" joke because I was laughing so hard.

[saruman84]

I love this review!!

[4104jake]

@BartJ385 Fine, fine, I don't care anyways.

[neb1029]

error!

the actor playing Ru'afo is F Murray Abraham,,,

[4104jake]

@BartJ385 You also forgot about the holographic village.

[4104jake]

@BartJ385 You denied he was picking out major flaws.

Did they beam up the rock without them noticing?

It's still a flaw; he wasn't nitpicking.

[erismo23]

We can rule out centrifugal force. The actors' heads are aimed the wrong way starting at 3:10. When the ship spins left, as the windshield shows (as well as the interior and exterior spinning shots, you would be thrown to your right. Maybe the people who made the movie had never been in a car before.

[4104jake]

@BartJ385 First of all, I've watched all these reviews. Second, your only pointing out the little ones. You forgot to mention things like how they were going to capture the Baku without them knowing; how the Baku would have discovered in like two minutes that everything around them was holographic; why they sent Data, of all people, to help study them; why they had the base right next to the village; and how they even set the base up in the first place.

[4104jake]

@BartJ385 What do you mean a war against the Federation? When was that mentioned? I would be concered about the possibilaty of my own ship getting blown up. And then me being dead. Plus, what do you mean flaws that are none? None what? Flaws? Flaws that are not flaws . . . . what? These seemed like pretty big problems to me.

[NorthGeorgiaPipe]

your stuff is great! i can't wait for star wars 3 review!

Cheers

[lonewarrior250]

The end was priceless! ha ha ha

[admtm24]

This movie was flawed but Donna Murphy looked gorgeous in this movie.

[StuffedAnimalAdvisor]

Even the Amish have phones.

They just keep the phones on top of the phone lines, to make them as difficult as possible to use.

I guess their breaking even. You get to keep them from being normal part of your life, but you still have them if you absolutely need them.

[natters1029]

lmao, i can't stop laughing at the stuntman rant at 4:11

[GTE123]

It always bugged me that in ever Star Trek series there would be a bunch of guys on the bridge facing the wall pushing buttons, and that no matter what was happening on the bridge, they would never turn around to see it. There could be a battle, or a first contact with a new alien species or some kind of disaster, or even just some really rare space anomaly on the view screen that would only happen once in their lifetimes. They never look. Ever. I guess those buttons were more important.

[FoggyFishburne]

Noooo! Don't cencor the swearing ffs!

[RettMikhal]

Seriously, why did they NEVER again reference "The Inner Light?" It's the best episode by far, and I can understand not wanting to retread it in the series (Because then it would turn into a watch-a-thon and if you missed an episode, fuck you), but here they have the perfect opportunity to talk about it. We could deal with him explaining it to the noobs. Hell, I find most people LIKE hearing the same thing over again, just told in different ways. It makes them feel good.

[pandorina]

Have you ever experianced a moment where time seemed to stop...

I completely agree with that last scene (by the way that episode was freaking awesome) That bothered me when I saw the movie. He freaking lived a life time in a moment complete with wife, kids, death, planet explosions, music... And the moment he thinks of when the lady asks the question is when he saw earth... from space... the hell!

Luvn this review babe. give me more.

[SoylentGreeeen]

The stunt men joke at 4:10  makes me laugh every time.

[TheRealPrizeRebel]

@SoylentGreeeen same dude im fucking dieing over here

[posthumanfetus]

I could listen to this guy review anything forever.

[SimKoning]

actually accelerating as fast as they do in the show would have reduced the entire crew of the enterpise to goo. So yeah, in the context of Star Trek, they shouldn't have even moved while spinning. That being said, these movies fucking suck and you are funny as hell =)

[SisifosGR]

"Have you ever experienced a perfect moment in time?"

yeah, last night when I had an orgasm

yahoooooooooooo

[mntccd]

"Seeing my home planet from space"

Ah ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!!!!!!!!!

[camlost]

The planetary rings could account for nighttime light, but then why didn't they bother putting rings in the background sky. The planet clearly has rings when viewed from space, they would be visible night and day, and would be an interesting feature to the alien planet. Why would they only have rings some of the time? Oh right, they were lazy

[nosorab3]

Fuck you Rick Berman!! Fuck you, you lazy ass mother fuck(cut)

LOL

[steelymax]

stuntmen = hilarious

[TerranRich]

It sounds like "Fuck you, that's lazy!" cut off mid-word. That's just what I hear though.

[elcap22]

I think you're right, he did say that but it's sounds like he says "LATE" but it's still funny :D

[dloverise]

...he says "thats lame"

[drawswithcrayon]

I always admired the creativity that went into the basic ideas of Star Trek and Star Wars. But when certain producers take control, these genius ideas are somehow lobotomized.

[sokarsfleet]

@drawswithcrayon Kinda Disagree on that it was Lucas fault completely on Star wars He had total control in directing, script and that terriable soul sucking dialogue. You could have gotten any other competent director and they would have done a better job at it them him and i'm not a fan of star wars

[drawswithcrayon]

@sokarsfleet I would tend to agree with what you're saying. But from what I've been told, Lucas wasn't as tyrannical in the production of the first star wars trilogy. Other people's ideas went into the mix. Also, the new Bioware games seem a lot more creative than anything Lucas could come up with alone. When Lucas took full control, however, what did we get? sadly, we got the phantom menace.

[sokarsfleet]

@drawswithcrayon Yep totally. Sadly that does happen to these directors Like giving Michael Bay control over his movies And he just loses his damn mind with bad humor, annoying characters, explosions.

[DKaidian]

Oh, man, this is hilarious, the ending joke RULES!!! I love the whole "record scratch" moment. The way you edited that is great!

[GreenTeaGarlic]

please review silence of the lambs

[imjustheretowatchavi]

They probably had the play saved to favourites.

[MonsteWatcher]

"They should have been helping people escape and not rehearsing for their gig at Universal Studioes."

That's my favorite line from this review.

[SoylentGreeeen]

Now that you mention it, why does no one in Star Trek ever wear a seatbelt? Don't they ever get tired of bouncing around the bridge?

[Blendwerk]

intersting how Rick Berman ignores Roddenberrys TV show, when he makes a Star Trek Movie...

[otherjr]

ive not seen this film for a while, but isnt that the captains shuttle or some such? We see Worf play Klingon opera on the Defiant a few times, Picard probably had this on his shuttle for when he was bored.

[Kujakuseki01]

C'mon...two buttons to bring up a very specific play? I mean...c'mon.

[otherjr]

Its his 'private' shuttle. So we know he wants to do this with Data, and we know that starfleet officers listen to music when they are on ship and alone. Worf used the bridge of a war ship with apparently no creative comforts.

So maybe that takes him to 'music' or 'entertainment', or is just something hes set up. Im not saying there isnt something slightly laughable about this contrast of the glorious future and an mp3player. I dont think its function is particularly ridiculous, though.

[DigitalIndustry]

You can't spell prick without Rick. XD

[JonathanBloggs]

media>last played is my explanation for the 2 button HMS pinafore

[Jordacar]

I remember the press interviews for ST: Nemesis, and the general tone from the cast was, without fail, "Just glad to be working."

[fluidicmethod]

lol i remember watching it and going, wait, how the hell did that explosion cause them to fly up in the air when it came from behind

[chaplan76]

5:00 That made my night.

[mjbull1565]

Why doesn't Starfleet task more ships to this mission?  Sisko was using them for the Dominion War. That's why Starfleet wanted to get in good with the Son'a. Then the fridge logic kicks in when you realize how powerful can they be if they are just an offshoot of the Baku?

[ElveeKaye]

You know, you would think that, by now, people on the Enterprise would learn to WEAR THEIR FUCKING SEAT BELTS. They know that, at some point, they're going to smash into something and go flying around the room, yet they just stand about, looking out the windows, and are then caught off-guard and go flying against the walls and furniture. It looks dramatic, but it's really dumb.

[abanks1959]

@ElveeKaye , You tell'em ElveeKaye, maybe now be all the people of the Earth today will start wearing their seat belts in cars and knowone will get any more tickets for not wearing them.

[Iukini]

"things continue to keep not making sen-" and "FUCK YOU THAT'S LA-" get me every time

[foxhound20071980]

seeing my home planet from space --GAY

[RavnDream]

"Fuck you, Rick Berman. Fuck you, you lazy-ass Mother Fu-------"

XD

[AIRJORDAN2387]

@RavnDream thats the same way i feel about the asshole who created icarly

[Ultimaniacx4]

That bastard Picard forgot his whole family D=

[KnightofDuroch]

"Why were they practicing this movie stunt during a town emergency?" lol. classic my friend

[notme222]

Filmed in California? Surely they didn't pay for that.  Filmed in Canada I'd bet.

[KurosanNitebird]

Actually, that did look a lot like the Canadian Rockies. I had some pictures of a very similar area that I took a while ago, but I can't seem to find them anymore.

[TillThenPlease]

Some of the observations blow my mind. In particular the two button specific computer screen.

[Jordacar]

That "benign white smoke" gag is a classic in all submarine movies. If you listen to the commentary for Hunt for Red October, John McT admits that the gag is "utter nonsense," and admits its really just there to tell the audience that "something is happening."

[ElveeKaye]

@Jordacar You'll see it on lots of cheesy sci-fi movies, too. It is never explained exactly what the gas is or why it would have valves opening directly into the command room of the ship, or what caused the pipes to burst or whatever. Maybe they should store their fire extinguishers in a better place. XD

[TaterMySalad]

The bad guy is Murphy Brown?

[poxboy23]

Yes!!! My introduction to RedLetterMedia was the Phantom Menace epic, but everything is GENIUS!!! One complaint: Marina Sirtis is still hot, my friend. 45+ is the litmus and she is still smokin'.

[azdgariarada]

@poxboy23 Marina Sirtis is "still smokin"???!!!???

A smokin' pile of rubble maybe. That bitch is ugly as sin. Always has been, always will be.

[sondano]

@azdgariarada at least she still looks better than you do

[williamskidfears]

@azdgariarada She looks good.

She just can't act.

[davenielsen78]

@azdgariarada I don't know about "always has been." She was hot once. Now she just has that nasty look of a middle-aged or more woman who is still trying to look 30. She'd probably look a lot nicer were she just to give up the facelifts, botox, chemical peels, colagen, etc. and just look her age.

[opticneuralinterface]

seriously, this guy needs his own tv show. Actual, actual genius. funniest shit ive seen in ages.

[cgdesigns714]

Want a pizza roll over here! :-D

[dasrik]

"Have you ever experienced a... moment where time seemed to stop?"

Yes. THIS FUCKING MOVIE.

[jfridy]

@dasrik

No, Star Trek V. I felt it was about 2 and a half hours, but it's actually only about 110 minutes...

[Freddran]

@dasrik Star Trek films VIII and IX are the best of all of them. Every movie has mistakes.....

[stevieno2]

hms pinafore made me fucking cry

[silentbob8201]

Didnt Geordi start out working the Comm Station? so if they're under staffed and need someone to work it ummmmm who cares?

[DillonSundance]

about the spinning shuttle: it could be explained with barrel roll. theres a youtube vid of bob hoover where he pours tea in a cup while performing a roll in his plane. of course the probability is very low that the shuttle did this delicate maneuver by accident.

[johnadams8000]

at the very least an excelcior class? those ships rock, and admirals always travel in those ships!

[georgel19841]

hey man the shutle is on steam power ,this is how they can reach stars,by coal,beacuse coal is cool

[charlessunkyst]

Sure once Rufrario has his youth back he probably wouldn't bother, seems like a risk on Admiral stupid's part. (why is EVERY Starfleet admiral outside of Kirk, a huge jerk?) Starfleet was dumb to have that much trust in such an obviously shady character. How would they know he doesn't have some kind of deal with the Ferengi or Romulans for the magical radiation.

[charlessunkyst]

we're not talking about war, we're talking about a double cross. It's a shady deal to begin with, once they harvest the magic radiation that stops and takes the time to re-assemble your DNA what's to prevent Ruaffalo from saying "SUCKERS!!!!" and leaving the federation high and dry.

[FunkhouserMemorial]

4:10 Seems like the Ba'Ku stuntmen were just so embarrassingly "glad to be working" to the point of defying physics.

"F*** you Rick Berman! F*** you, you lazy ass mother f***...."

Concerned Trekkers should've injected Berman with one of those bugs from Ceti Alpha V so he'd be more susceptible to productive suggestions by the likes of RedLightMedia.

[douglovestheinternet]

Not that I don't completely agree with all your points here but I would assume there wasn't a contingent of federation ships there because the dominion war was going badly (which makes you wonder why the hell a secret project to acquire life extension technology is a good use of force during the dominion war anyway?)

FUCK YOU RICK BERMAN

[Heresy488]

Well, 2 Warships, 1 Command ship, and the Collector.

[kluczowaty]

4:50 all that light is supposedly reflected by planet's rings thou ASAIR no one bothered to make a nice night sky shot with rings visible, so yeah, berman is a lazy ass mother f-

great reviews, btw

im watching this for the third time and it's only getting better

and i wanna a pizza roll

[ob1benji1]

lol. Shut up! I'm talking!!

[doubleg137]

Since when does Larry Flynt do movie reviews?

[ThrawnDuGard2]

im a loyal supporter of RedLetterMedia and his pizza rolls!

[phantomdasilva]

There are inertial dampeners that prevent people from falling off their seats.

However when the ship gets damaged such as the ship get hit by phasers or torpedos, the inertial damperners temporarily lose their functions which cause people to fly out of their seats.

The shuttle didn't get hit by a weapon during that spinning moment

[RedLetterMedia]

indeed, like the inertial dampeners on ship that prevent them from getting thrown into the back wall when they kick it into warp drive. But, if they have inertial dampeners that can keep Picard comfortably drinking tea at faster than light speed, why do they look like they are struggling with the effects of g forces when flipping around in the atmosphere. Since the ship wasn't damaged they should be sitting comfortably in the seats as the horrizion spins, feeling no effect at all.

[islanumblar]

That is true but it's also a phsycological thing. There's a theme park near where I live where you sit down in a room and the whole room spins around giving you the feeling that you're spinning around. They could feel like they're spinning when physically they're not.

[SimKoning]

@RedLetterMedia woops never mind, looks like you guys covered that already.

[donfolstar]

@RedLetterMedia

If we suspend disbelief for this scene (warning: do not unsuspend belief during the movie) we could probably convince ourselves that the force was just a little bit more then the shuttles dampeners could compensate for.

Of course you'd think such a vital system, responsible for being able to stand or even sit in a seat, would have backups and redundant systems. Then again maybe starfleet laughs there asses off every time the shoddy dampeners on the bridge fail- take that captain

[TSMK900]

@RedLetterMedia The greatest invention in Star Trek would be seat belts.

[repzard99]

@TSMK900 or a toilet, still havent seen that fucker anywhere on the enterprise.

[TazG2000]

@RedLetterMedia I'm pretty sure someone says inertial dampeners are offline during the shuttle crash scene.

[rendros88]

@TazG2000 then why aren't they bouncing around while the shuttle is spinning?

[TazG2000]

@rendros88 They were being pulled sideways.

[SisifosGR]

HAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Good thing every time a torpedo hits the ship its the dampeners and not the warp core that lose their function, because in the case of the warp core, the ship would go like

BOOM

[erismo23]

@phantomdasilva

At 3:35 you can see that the bridge has full power.

Unless you are saying that all the Federation's enemies spanning time, the universe, and multiple series were all shooting special intertial-dampener nullifying beams and torpedos just to mess with them? Same goes for any debris they ever hit, as well as mines.

Anyway, it doesn't matter, their heads were going the wrong way for how the shuttle was spinning, so either way they got it wrong.

[erismo23]

@phantomdasilva

Sorry for the repeat posts, but I'm watching these in order and I just watched the Nemesis review, part 3. At 1:00 (of Nemesis pt 3) you can see them all very clearly wearing large harnesses on a shuttle. No inertial dampeners.

[spartacus36526]

When Beverly is sitting on the bridge pushing all the buttons, I bet she was just playing solitaire or minesweeper.

[BorgHub]

there are more points which you missed.

Data's floutation device for example.

in one episode of TNG laforge said that Data tried to go swimming in a lake once but sank to the bottom and had to walk a long way to get out.

where was his floutation device.

remember he said "i was designed with a floutation device" not "I equipped myself with a floutation device"

[straker454]

Whenever I push Ctrl+alt+Delete my computer always bring up HMS Pinafore...I hate my computer...

[munchies4u]

rehearsing for their gig at Universal Studios LMAO

5 stars yet again

[VerwirrterTurnschuh]

I WANT PART 4! NOW!!

[charlessunkyst]

Ask, and ye shall recieve pizza rolls. 

It's up now.

[charlesvan13]

It has probably never worked that a TV franchise transfered well to the big-screen. I suppose a few of the original series movies had reasonably good stories. That's definately not true of these TNG abominations, except perhaps Nemisis.

[HGPMischiefMaker]

More likely it didn't help that the TNG movies were being made by hacks who had long since come to hate Star Trek, but were perfectly happy to keep milking the cash how.

[BorgHub]

can't wait for part 4

[ThamelasStormrage]

LOL!

[SunnyC247]

Glad to be working

LOL

[joeykozlo]

Awesome!

[Crickett2814]

So what about Worf's purple space bazooka? Maybe he was using it to Baku.

[obie666]

Love it!

[SRChameleon]

Hilarious!
