I was recommend this film to watch by another user of this site and a massive Thank You to them. It is a brilliant film

The beginning sees the old crew of the Enterprise, Kirk (William Shatner), Scottie (James Doohan) and Chekov (Walter Koenig) all aboard a new Enterprise as guests of honor for its maiden voyage. The Enterprise is taken into a difficult situation and we see Kirk being taken off into space.

The film then begin 70 years after this event has happened where the history books record Kirk as being dead, is he really? Picard is now the Captain aboard the Enterprise who takes the ship and crew off to help an Aurian physicist, unbeknown to the Captain he physicist named Soran has an evil plan to destroy the enterprise and blow up a plant to enable himself to be taken up into the nexus (I would describe the nexus as a ribbon or worm like formation that travels around the universe and once inside you can take yourself off to any place or time and live there and be who you want to be.) Sorans plan works but unfortunately Picard is also taken into the nexus.

Whilst this is all going on we see the Enterprise come crashing to earth and be destroyed, but no serious injuries or fatlitles to the crew (love to know how a spaceship can crash into a plant and no one dies!)

Whilst in the nexus Picard seeks out Kirk to help he go to the same place in time when this happened and to stop it from happening. Kirk and Picard are successful in foiling Sorans plan but during which we see the death of Kirk, sorry to spoil it for you but tissues at the ready!
We see some great team work from the two captains coming together.
The plot is very good and it is great the way the writers have mixed past and present crew members
The film does contain some great special effects and sorry to say some poor fight scenes from Picard.
The DVD cover has a great picture of Kirk and Picard on which looks good.
The one downside to the DVD is that there are no added extras but dont worry the film makes up for this.
I purchased this for £4.99 but it does vary from shop to shop.

A big thums up to the writers, Rick Berman (also Producer), Ronald Moore and Brannon Braga and the Director David Carson.

A real joy to watch.
