Star Trek
Have you ever wondered what it would be like to fight a galactic battle in the middle of space?...Well now you can! I am of course talking about the highly popular TV programme that has recently been turned into a film, very popular amongst Sci-fi extremists. Although 'Star Trek' the TV series doesn't appeal to me, being a little bit to serious for me, the film gave me time away from everyday life to give me a space experience, however it did not convince me in to joining the Trekkie way. It opens with a tense space battle between captain Kirk and the evil aliens to gain revenge for future occurrences. At the time of the battle 'James T. Kirk' was in the middle of being born, while his heroic farther sacrifices his life for the good of the fleeing crew and his family. This plays into the Sci-fi genre by being set in space with aliens and high tech spaceships, comparing with 'Star Wars' which boosted the Sci-fi genres into public appeal. My review on this film is that if you are a Trekie or not a Trekie this film will appeal to you, although it is not a wow film, it will go down as one of the best Sci-fi movies.
