Yeah, Nemesis was truly bad, but I think you're being a little harsh about Insurrection.
I watched it for the first time since it came out recently and I really enjoyed it. Spying on people as a lead up to their forced relocation (one way or another) to steal their natural resources is a recurring theme through history. When they were in the mountains being attacked by drones I remember at the time rolling my eyes, but now with the advances in real life drone technology it was actually an excellent choice. The music was absolutely flawless and truly beautiful.
The weakest parts I thought were a bad joke about boobs and a terrible Riker line "we're through running from these bastards."
It wasn't an action movie, and more like a super-produced two-hour episode that left room for the story to breathe, take its time revealing itself, have some humor, and characters other than Picard and Data to have some relevant moments/screen time.
My movie rankings are in order by my favorites, rather than what is objectively the better or lesser movie:
1) First Contact
2) Star Trek (2009)
3) Undiscovered Country
4) Voyage Home
5) Insurrection
6) Search For Spock
7) Wrath Of Kahn
8) Beyond
9) Generations
10) Into Darkness
11) Star Trek: The Motion Picture
12) The Final Frontier
13) Nemesis
The real tragedy of all this is how DS9 didn't get a film. The movie opens with s**t going down and the Emissary returns. Boom, off we go.
