Star Trek

Star Trek 2, or Star Trek XII for the purists among you. It’s definitely happening, and it now seems as though J.J. Abrams is definitely on board for the follow-up to this year’s mega-hit. The writers of Star Trek, Roberto Orci and Alex Kurtzman, recently revealed Abrams wasn’t sure of his involvement, but it looks […]

I loved the new Star Trek movie so much I went back to the cinema twice to see it on the big screen - a real rarity for me. And I’m not alone in my absolute fanboyism for the film, with fellow geeks making it the biggest movie of the year so far, which isn’t […]

The likelihood is that there will be at least one direct sequel to the new Star Trek, if not more than that. The sequel was already being discussed even before the first film came out and there’s now talk of a trilogy. The actors are keen, the writers are keen, and so, in the main, […]

The new Star Trek is a complete success, drawing a huge response from both old school Trekkies and newcomers alike. It’s made a mint at the box-office during its opening weekend, and is likely to end up being the most successful Star Trek movie ever released - not a bad result for a risky reboot.

The new Star Trek, technically Star Trek XI, is my favorite movie of the year so far, and probably my favorite movie since The Dark Knight was released. And I’m not the only one to think this way, with the J.J. Abrams reboot garnering almost-exclusively positive reviews from professionals and amateur cinema lovers alike.

To suggest the new Star Trek movie is make-or-break for the franchise probably isn’t too far-fetched. With no television series to fall back on, it seems clear to me that if the J.J. Abrams-reboot had failed to set the world alight, the franchise may truly have been dead and buried. Thankfully, that seems not to […]

I should start by stating that I’m a huge Star Trek fan, and that may influence my review of the new movie. Having said that, being a fan in my case doesn’t mean I’m a Trekkie capable of quoting lines from The Original Series or knowing what an engine nacelle does. A fan, but not […]

We’ve now had our first of many summer blockbusters released with X-Men Origins: Wolverine making its debut last week. And very good it is too, in my opinion. Looking forward, the next movie on the horizon is the new Star Trek, a kind-of make or break for the series which could either go fantastically right […]

Star Trek, the franchise, is 43-years-old. That’s pretty long in the tooth for a TV show and movie series. The television series has been off air for a few years and there hasn’t been a movie based on the franchise in some time. And the J.J. Abrams-directed reboot movie is almost with us.
There is one […]

There’s now just three months to wait until the all-new, re-imagined Star Trek hits the big screen. And I personally cannot wait. But, while I think the time was ripe for a new take on the Trek universe, I’m filled with some trepidation about seeing characters I grew up with played by different actors, and […]
