Star Trek Movie Boxet Review

Advantages: Good Quality, Fun
Disadvantages: Alot of Disks

When i first noticed this title in the shops, my first reaction was "Thats too expensive" but then i realised that it was the price for ten films all included in the one set. The films in this set each have their own individual story and are only linked by the setting and characters. Each film in this set is interesting and have many good points and few bad points, on afew of the films the special effects are a bit lacking but this is due to the ...

Review of Star Trek : 1-10 (Movie Box Set) (DVD)

Star Trek Movies Collection

Advantages: Every Star Trek Movie, in one Handy Box
Disadvantages: There aren't enough hours in a day!

If you love Star Trek, these are definitely for you! This is every movie ever made, okay thats only ten, but still thats impressive. The packaging is brilliant, it is a box within a box, with two Holders within that, which spread out and hold five movies. There are five original movies, and five of the next generation movies. In total they make 1101 minutes (I make that about 18 hours 30 mins) of pure star Trek excellence. The ratings of the movies ...
...you havent seen them. STAR TREK: THE MOTION PICTURE Produced 1979, Directed by Robert Wise This is the first movie. Star Trek was going down hill, and was switched off air, so to get back in the swing, they launched this movie, which all of a sudden created an explosion of Star Trek fans, which was good for us, as it also encouraged them to make more movies! The only disappointing thing about it, is there is no special features or anything, you ...

Review of Star Trek - The Film Collection (The Motion Picture-Nemesis) (DVD)

Sometimes, Ignorance is bliss

Advantages: clever thriller, good story, well acted
Disadvantages: bit depressing?

Dont misunderstand my review title, this is a cracking film. You can nearly always say that about Nicolas Cage films, but this one really is! The premise is simple. There are many disasters happening on earth, for some reason, aliens decide to warn mankind about the upcoming disasters by "whispering" them to a little girl in the 1950's. Unfortuneately, that girl does nothing with the information other than write it down on a bit of paper and allow ...
...capsule. The capsule is dug up in the current day and discovered by Nicolas Cage's character. He soon discovers the code in the series of numbers written on the page and works out that the code tells of impending disasters, when they will happen, how many will die and the location. The story continues on along this path, with a worrying fortelling of the end of days. We don't know what will happen right until the end. I wont ruin it for you either, ...

Review of Knowing (Blu-ray)

Return To Form!

Advantages: Classy return to form, set in the future! very well done!
Disadvantages: should have been an 18 to be its best!

...is I am a big Terminator fan. I loved Terminator 1 and 2. With Terminator 3, they ruined the franchise, it was rubbish on many levels. Terminator salvation is literally the saviour of the fanchise. In the same way that Casino Royale, Batman Begins and others have saved other franchises, the same has happened here. The most thrilling thing is that Terminator Salvation is the first film set in the future. During the war against the Terminators and ...
...as you'd expect from a Terminator film. Sure, Arnie wasn't in it, but perhaps that was a good thing. You can have too much of a good thing after all. Christian Bale does a very good job of being bad-ass and insipiring at the same time. The way its set in the not too distant future, featuring current human weaponry being used against the machines in a nice touch. The picture and sound on the blu ray edition is first rate and makes the scenes with ...

Review of Terminator - Salvation (Blu-ray)

Science defying Madness!

Advantages: easy to watch, reasonably priced, good picture
Disadvantages: very unrealistic

...I remembered her saying she wanted to see it at the cinema, but we never got round to going. I admit, i was a little uninterested as the whole concept seemed a bit ridiculous. If you haven't seen the trailer, then it wont be spoiling it too much that the premise of the film is action orientated and there's physics defying gun play where the main characters make bullets travel in circles and bends in order to kill people they shouldn't be able too. ...
...will be most disappointed. The story line centres around a young chap doing 9-5 in an office job. He's not happy in his work or his life. One day he bumps into Angelina Jolie's character ("Fox") in a chemist she is apparently there to save his life from an assassin, who also killed his father. He is then recruited into "the fraternity" a group of assassins who have been around since ancient times. Killing people according to the interpretations ...
