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)

Saving the universe when your grandad was in diapers!

Advantages: Great effects and a wonderful cross over cast
Disadvantages: I would love to have seen more of the Enterprise 'B'

...of two of the greatest star fleet captains is done with great thought and a tremendous script. The film opens with a bottle of champagne floating effortlessly through space until it hits the side of the Enterprise B...an Excelsior class ship. Now I was delighted to see this as one, I didn't know much about the Enterprise B and two, the Excelsior class has always been my favourite kind of starship...it was just such a jump up from the original Enterprise. ...
...members of his merry crew are there to celebrate the inaugural flight of this great ship. After the ceremony, recorded by loads of journalists (which is a GREAT moment - 'Captain Kirk, how do you feel about being on the bridge of the new Enterprise?.... oh fine...fine' There is of course the usual emergency situation. Now I don't want to spoil the film or the main events of the story but I am safe to say that the disaster introduces us to a much ...

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)

Passing The Torch

Advantages: Kirk returns.
Disadvantages: The Next Gen crew take over

...periods. The whole idea of Star Trek: Generations is too span the gap of 75 years between the times of Kirk to the crew under command of Captain Picard on the Enterprise D. The film begins with the christening of Enterprise B under the command of Captain John Harriman, this is going to be the first trip of the new Excelsior Class Starship and three special guests are invited along by Starfleet, these are Captain James T Kirk (Retired), Captain Montgomery ...
...inevitable that the icon of Star Trek was going to be the draw for the film. The best thing is that he doesn't play Kirk any different to how he has done before. Basically Shatner is Shatner and in this film it works fine. We do get to see more of Kirk being "out of the office" and see him mention other people in his life that we didn't actually know about at all, refreshing on the whole, but will leave you wanting more, a lot more. The full crew ...

Review of Star Trek - Generations (DVD)

You Look Like a Radioactive Tampon

Advantages: Great Direction and Acting
Disadvantages: Too Slow for some

Moon reminds me a lot of those big weighty Sci-fi films of the seventies where it was all about atmosphere, storyline and your imagination rather than riotous special effects and wise cracking aliens. This film is utterly beguiling, its tense but strangely relaxing, all of these is down to two men, the director Duncan Jones and the star Sam Rockwell. This is Jones' first feature film and its an incredibly impressive debut, he eschewed using his father ...
...it is a really fantastic film which is a credit to him. Starring Sam Rockwell as Sam, the only worker on an automated lunar mining complex. He has been working on his own for nearly three years and nearing the end of his term in space he feels lonely, isolated and confused....as anyone would, I imagine. With only a droid, Gerty (Voiced by Kevin Spacey) for company, Sam is alone and starts to feel a world apart from Earth, he feels he is alone but ...
