The new Trek movie has engaged the warp drive and beamed the general public aboard -i have no idea what ive just said there. This new old Star Trek movie has introduced an entirely new generation to the sci fi series, giving them the beginning of the Enterprises adventures. The film grossed $73 million dollars last weekend, which assume would i be right in guessing we’ll be seeing more Trek movies?

The film is a prequel, set at a time where before James Kirk is captain of the enterprise and sets off to join Starfleet. Were re-introduced to the original crew -Spock, Scotty, Dr McCoy and Sulu. The film also gives us a surprise cameo from a member of the enterprise, but telling would reveal a polt twist, so i wont mention it here. This new prequel has brought new life into a franchise which seemed to be having a dwindling interest in seeing any more Starfleet crews. With the last film made in 2002 and the word that a attempt to make another tv show of the series was cancelled, it can be said that the franchise was on the verge of being forgotten by movie studios. Like the Kirk/ Picard battles this has split Trek fans into two camps, as some people are caring for the added action over intelligent plot, which is probably what is making it more accessible to the general public. So where does the franchise go from here then? The possiblity of this Star Trek crew making another movie, and maybe that canned tv show will be green lighted once again?

The film has also been injected with quite abit of humor into it as well, some of that coming from England’s very own Simon Pegg, playing Scotty. So why has this movie brought the franchise back? Everyone is sort of familar with the original crew whether you watched Star Trek or not, the director has also punched up the humor and the action -making it a worthy summer blockbuster.
