This film is nothing short of breathtaking

Rating: 10/10 (10 August 2009)

I cannot recall when I saw this film for the first time but what I do remember is how captivated I was by it. I had not seen anything like it before even though I had seen most of the original Star Trek episodes. This film set the standard which other films had to try and equal, emulate and improve on and from what I have seen of the films that have been made since very few come close for the overall effect this film had on me. For me Like all great films is has no flaws it is just nothing short of breathtaking. It is over thirty years since it was made and it could have been made last week. Technology has moved on apace from 1977 but this film is more than just a series of special effects and good acting. The story is told in only two hours a fact which still amazes me when I watch it again. I know there are people out there who don't like films set in space but I suspect if you give it a chance like a friend of mine did and watch it all you may well have a change of heart as she did. Enjoy
