Star Trek XI (DVD) Reviews

Film Only review I grew up watching Star Trek with William Shatner and Leonard Nimoy and while I never considered myself to be a Trekkie (Trekker?) I loved the original series and the follow up - The Next Generation. By the time Deep Space Nine and Voyager came along I had pretty much got fed up with the franchise and my tastes in ...  Read the complete review

To begin with when I walked into the cinema to see the reboot of a series whose name and the word nerd are practically synonymous. I had never seen a minute of star trek before in my life, I preferred Star Wars and never looked for any intergalactic alternative. However when I left the cinema I would have been proud to call myself a ...  Read the complete review

After a lot of deliberation I finally decided to buy this for hubby, we were unsure about watching it as we are fans of the old series of the TV show and did not think this would have stood up to it. After watching I can honestly say both me and hubby thought it was excellent and really did the original proud. The film starts with ...  Read the complete review

In spite of the very positive reviews I read of the 'rebooted franchise' when 'Star Trek 11' was released at the cinema last summer, given the sorry state of big-budget action blockbuster features these days, I wasn't expecting all that much from the film when I got it on DVD just after it was released last month (£9 from Amazon with no P&P to ...  Read the complete review

It is quite amazing that we have now reached the elenth Star Trek movie to be released and this high budget production is a pretty spectacular viewing experience at the cinema as it has some awesome special effects and while I have to confess to not being much of a Star Trek buff, I leave that to the other half I must say I found this film quite ...  Read the complete review

This time last year I was not particularly blown away by Batman: The Dark Knight, the big action film of 2008, falling flat for me but seemingly on my own on that one. It just felt like a mishmash of previous action and superhero movies, hyped up and stuffed fall of cliché. But the biggest disappointment was the transference to DVD, which didn't ...  Read the complete review

Star Trek XI is finally out on DVD and Blu-ray! It seems like forever since I saw this at the cinema back in May, now it is the middle of November and I have finally seen this amazing film again! It has been a long wait! I have always classed myself as a Star Wars fan, I never really had much time for Star Trek other than knowing the ...  Read the complete review

I bought this film as a present for my Wife as a Christmas present, although when it arrived on Saturday two days before release day, we decided that we weren't going to wait. Aren't we bad! I have always been a bigger fan of the Star Wars franchise than Star Trek. I did enjoy the old TV series, but I always found Star Wars bigger, ...  Read the complete review

Star Trek reboot is a good action film even if you're not a huge star trek fan like me. I just watched this purely as I've seen the old movies (not the TV stuff) and thought why not - it looks like fun and has a good director attached in Abrahms. The cast do look like young versions of the originals and portray some of their ...  Read the complete review

Star Trek is a 2009 reboot of the franchise, undertaken by Lost creator J. J. Abrams. The film follows the exploits of the younger versions of crew of the Starship Enterprise from the original series. James Kirk (Chris Pine), is a headstrong arrogant young man whose father was killed by Romulans years before whilst saving the ship he ...  Read the complete review

Star Trek movies have always been poor for me. I really like the Next Generation series but have never really enjoyed the movies with that cast in. The movies seem a bit too light hearted, like they are performing for theatre or even pantomime instead of making quality films. This latest instalment is however an excellent movie. It ...  Read the complete review

I first saw this film in the Cinema, and was originally planning on seeing another film, however, i am very grateful that i choose this rather than choosing to head home for an early night, and even my girlfriend agrees! This science fiction film directed by J Abrahams is a lot different to what i expected, there is a more in depth and ...  Read the complete review

Quite enthralling . The special effects were no transformers but the script was quite brilliant and did the original TV series proud . Zachary Quinto's portrayal of Spock was very much in the same mold the same as Leonard Nimoy's creation of Spock's character . The banter between Spock and Bones(Karl Urban), was as ...  Read the complete review

Where do I begin with this? I have been a Trek fan for most of my 41 years and whilst I have calmed down in recent years (probably due to the lack of "new" Trek) there is no way I would miss this. Although time-travel and alternate reality plots have been done to death in the Trek universe, it's use here is partially ...  Read the complete review

I will admit that before I went to see this film, I had hardy ever watched Star Trek in my life, and that the only reason as to why I was going to watch this movie in the first place was because my Dad persuaded me to. However, after walking out of the cinema, I was pleasantly surprised as to how much I did actually enjoy it. One of the major ...  Read the complete review

I have never seen any of the previous Star Trek films, and I don't have any understanding of the characters and their personalities, but like most people I have heard of the main characters. I am a big fan of JJ Abrams, and when I heard the positive feedback coming from this film, I thought I must just give it a go. I watched it with a ...  Read the complete review

I was a bit wary of watching this film, because I really enjoyed the later Star Trek films, and wasn't sure a prequel was a good idea. Synopsis The story follows James Kirk from the events of his birth and his yearly years, but mainly concentrates on his first voyage on the Starship Enterprise. It also follows the life of ...  Read the complete review

I didn't really know what to expect with this film, is was expecting it to be a science filled confusing star trek adventure but i thought wrong. This is an excellent movie to watch not just for sci-fi and star trek fans but for all those action, adventure and octane fueled film fans out there. The SFX, acting, scenarios even the fights and the ...  Read the complete review

If like me you enjoy the occasional dip into the Star Trek universe but wouldn't consider yourself a 'trekkie' then listen up as this is in my eyes is a must see. From start to finish I was in a state of excitement. The cinema seats around me packed to bursting point as everyone flocks to get a glimpse of the lastest offering from the world of ...  Read the complete review

It took me longer than I thought it would to decide how I feel about 2009's Star Trek reboot. Generally I'm of the opinion that franchise remakes are created for people that don't like the original property. So often a franchise is rebooted for the sole purpose of turning cult or niche properties into lowest common denominator entertainment. I ...  Read the complete review
