The best of the best
Advantages: Ground breaking special effects
Disadvantages: It had to end... I was gutted!
...think this is the best Star Trek film ever made? Why can I still remember most of the words to the film? Why would I recommend this film to you without reservation....read on! 1. This is an excellent example of a tv series to movie cross over. The readmission of a character from the original series was a genius move. 2. We see the Enterprise going to warp in two different ways, the latter paving the way for future warp speeds! 3. The crew have great ...
...his trust for all things Star Fleet, I cannot tell you how many times I have shouted at the screen ' just raise your shields NOW!!!' 6. We get to see GENESIS and it is great to see that we have the scientific know how to develop such a device, particularly when all we have seen of the future tech is a range of colourful screens and buttons - this can actually make a planet habitable! 7. This film employed amazing CGI work - It is rumoured that the ...

a good sequel
Advantages: a very entertaining film
Disadvantages: gets a little boring
STORY
Arriving back at earth after the battle with Khan, Admiral James T Kirk reflects upon the death of his friend Spock. But a visit from Spocks father reveals that Mcoy has Spocks living spirit. Is there a chance of saving spocks memories by retrieving Spocks body from genesis. But a klingon bird of prey hears about genesis. And starfleet refuses to let kirk return. So what will kirk do and what will the klingons do?
VERDICT
A very good sequel ...
...film, repeating spocks death and funeral was great and the musical score was done fabulously by James Horner who did the nusic for the second film. The model shots for the enterprise , the bird of prey and space dock are just amazing. The story is a little confusing if you haven't seen the second film or if your not a trek fan but its an enjoyable film. But points are deducted because most of the scenes after space dock were on the bridge of the ...

Boldly going blah blah blah....
Advantages: A brand new Enterprise!
Disadvantages: It feels so slow, it lacks the pace of an adventurous Sci-fi film!
...with Kirks every whim! Star Trek five was directed by Leonard Nimoy and is dare I say....the weakest of the Star Trek movie franchise. To be fair to it though, there are so moments of genius. I loved Mr. Spock, Bones and Kirk singing 'Row Row Row your boat' around the camp fire. It is a touching moment, especially when Kirk laments that he has always known that he will die alone...it is like the last supper for three dear colleagues...who have become ...
...one was burnt up in Star Trek 3). It was originally the USS Yorktown, but was renamed in honour of Kirk and his crew who had just saved Earth...again (see Star Trek 4)! The scenes with the rocket boots are also really well done and a lot of fun. The film is about the search for God and features many of the fine original cast. it also, features Spocks brother...a Vulcan who has enbraced his 'humanity'. the film has all of the elements that we have ...

Star Trek 6: rediscovering the basics!
Advantages: Great Entertainment
Disadvantages: Too many shakspearian references
My reviews of the Star Trek movies continue with this brilliant instalment which see's a further change in direction which you can feel to an even greater extent than was apparent in the transition from Star Trek IV to Star Trek V. Clearly having suffered the indignation of a comparatively unsuccessful movie that was Star Trek V, Paramount have decided to "come home" by re-introducing Nicholas Meyer as the director of this Cold War of the future ...
...Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan and a fine job he did too. He's well and truly back and every scene has his name written all over it.
The plot of this film relates to the breaking down of barriers between the United Federation of Planets and the Klingon Empire. But its more than that, it's a struggle for survival for the Klingons, a struggle to forgive for Captain James T. Kirk who's son's life was taken by a Klingon in Star Trek III: The Search ...

...and now a word from William Shatner...
Advantages: All of the regular cast return
Disadvantages: Erm, everything else
...1988:
"I'm fed up. Star Trek was meant to be MY series, MINE. I was the star. First billed. I was the one who was meant to get all of the girls and who the series was meant to be based around. But instead that SOB Leonard Nimoy got too much credit. Just for sticking on some pointy ears and pretending to have no emotions. When the show finished he got straight onto a starring role on Mission Impossible, and I got to do hardly anything and even had ...
...effects and bad effects. It's Star Trek - they'll come anyway.
"What? You'll only let me direct 1 film? But Nimoy directed 2. It's not fair. I'm going to throw a tantrum. Oh, it's not going to work? OK then, I'll just make a rubbish movie, that'll show you..."
...and so he did. ...
