In just over a week the movie that I have been waiting for all of my adult life will finally arrive in my local Auckland cinemas. Although I love many of the Star Trek films, this one has so much riding on it.
The one thing that I wished Star Trek films had was an air of "Star Wars" in it. This may be considered blasphemy even among moderate Star Trek fans but one of the things that frustrated me about Trek was although they would often 'talk' about the federation and Starfleet, we never actually got to see much of the ships. 'First Contact' had a very good space battle with an armada of Starfleet ships pounding away at a Borg Cube (cool!) but what about the others? Insurrection was so so and Nemesis teased us with a graphic of other Starfleet ships on screen but we never got to see them!
Star Trek is amazing, but it always seemed to lack a little of the Epic scale that Star Wars succeeded in so hopefully this new film with finally fix this.
I have always wanted Star Trek to succeed in the mainstream for people who generally hate the genre and hopefully this will be the one that does it!
Long live Trek!
