Film: Star Trek
This film I didn’t go see at the cinema (In hindsight: a bad decision), mainly because even though I do love the sci-fi genre I’m not a fan of the Star Trek / Babalon 5 / Deepspace 9 franchises. After a lot of recommendations I bought it on Blu Ray (hey it was on Sale at Amazon, I thought why not!) and was very pleasantly surprised.
Thankfully it doesn’t require any knowledge of the series its obviously built on, so a plus there. The timeline throughout the film is a bit screwy (technical term) due to the ability of time travel, but if you can fathom that out (or just ignore it), then film doesn’t push the boundaries of sci-fi imaginary technology. Its mainly a film of friendships developing between the characters and a few leadership quarrels, mixed together with some stunning space scenes, a handful of comical moments and some great acting.
Would definitely recommend watching it even if you’re not a sci-fi fan, just pretend it doesn’t have the worlds Star Trek on the front and you’ll probably overcome half your hurdles 
Great work by Abrams and some fine acting
[...] I was 100% wrong. This is a brilliant film and is probably one of my favourites. Check out my full review of Stre Trek [...]
