Probabaly the best season.

Advantages: Both parts of Unification are on this disc.
Disadvantages: The game which is pretty poor

This is by far the best of the Next Generation series. The common theme of this being Ethics. The brilliant episode Darmok is here as well as Silicon Avator which sees the destruction of the crysatlline entity. We also see the emergance of the Marquis and meet Ensign Ro. Alexander Worfs' son joins the cast and suicide is discussed in Ethcs when Worf is paralysed. Power Play in which Troi and Data and O'Brien are pocessed by spirits is also good. ...
...the legendary Lenard Nimoy in the 2 part episode Unification which is probably one of the best two part episodes. The writers included Jeri Taylor give a very good insight into this season. It also shows a quite beautiful tribute to Gene Roddenberry which left me in tears. Also a profile of other guest stars ie Kirsten Dunst in Dark Page. Famke Janssen who started her career in Perfect Mate and Ashley Judd who played Wesleys' girlfriend Robin Lefler. ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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, ...
