According to StarTrekUK.com, there are no set release dates for Region 2 Original Series DVDs yet, but Paramount does have plans to release them soon.
Also according to StarTrekUK, 'Generations' is currently scheduled for a October 2 release, while 'First Contact' will come out on July 31. Thanks go out to Mark Beer for this!
And Peter Gee at the DVD Reviewer has put up a three page-review of 'Insurrection':
This, the ninth film in the series (and the third to feature the `Next Generation` crew) is definitely one of the best. It is recommended not only to the die-hard Trekkies but also to those who only tend to watch the `better` Star Trek films. There is enough humour to raise more than the odd chuckle and a couple of real laugh-out-loud moments. With this film, they seem to have got the mix of excitement, humour and serious stuff just right.
My wife watched it all the way through without a murmur and said afterwards that she quite enjoyed it. `Nuff said.
In the full review the disc is awarded an overall grade of 7, though the average is lowered by the 2 the disc receives for the (lack of) special features. Thanks go out to the Great Link for this!
