universe, is without doubt the bravest concept sinceThe Next Generation. Here we boldly go back to the future, 100 years before Captain Kirk, to the very first voyage of a starship called Enterprise. In fact, the concept--once announced at long last--caused an enormous furore among fans and critics. Would the costumes and sets be primary coloured like the 1960s original? Would the ship look like something made on Blue Peter? Would the Klingons look like Fu Manchu in boot polish? No, no and no came the official word at the same time as announcing that Scott (Quantum Leap) Bakula would be sitting in Captain Archer's squeaky new chair. He's accompanied on the new/old ship by his cute dog Porthos, antagonistic Vulcan T'Pol (Jolene Blalock filling the obligatory pin-up babe role) and an alien Doctor with indeterminate head make-up and mysterious origins.It took some time for the show to lift off. An over-familiar format (too much likeVoyager) and too much involvement from previous cast and crewmembers were sources of dissatisfaction. But lurking behind the adventures was an insidiously intriguing subplot. Why are the Vulcans so darned manipulative? Who are the shadowy time-travelling baddies? How will matters build toward the Romulan War? The show also attracted guest B-star power from the likes of Dean Stockwell, Clancy Brown and Clint Howard (Blalock in the classic original series episode "The Corbomite Manoeuvre". It boasts consistently cutting-edge CGI effects and survived the marketing-driven placement of a dull MOR pop song over the opening credits. Either despite or because of these warped factors,Enterprisehas been a literal flagship for the franchise in a period when many thoughtTrek's star was dwindling. --Paul Tonks

Full review
Loved these films but they definitely should not be listed in the horror category.
Star Trek is a classic for all sci-fi fans and you should just get settled into your seat and immerse yourself. The episodes are really good although if you dont have a wide screen t.v. you can miss bits.
All the usual characters and everything you would expect from Star Trek. If you haven't seen it on t.v. then you should have! But really, for anyone new to sci-fi these films will get you hooked. They are exciting, funny, well acted, sometimes corny but still enjoyable. Some of the "monsters" will make you laugh (or groan) and sometimes the acting is a bit lame but it is all part of the fun. You always know who is going to get killed because it is usually an "Ensign" that is not particularly important to the plot and the core crew have to keep boldly going where no-one has been before.
