TO BOLDLY COME BACK TO WHAT WE HAD BEFORE!!!

(This is all personal opinion, so please don't be offended trekkies!)

Ladies and Gentlemen, the good adventure film has made its return and in a fantastic way.  It took its time and it was a hard struggle to get people to believe it would be good but it has finally arrived - and in the form of a Star Trek film.  

Not only has this film relaunched a dying franchise (into dare i say, an unbelievably loving new audience).  

I am a great fan of adventure film, and also a good fan of Star Trek, but i was a very annoying kind of fan.  I only really had appreciation for the original films, not the original series.  The films which opened my attention to the franchise were, the first motion picture, The Wrath Of Khan (especially), The Search For Spock, and so forth.  The next generation films were a blur to me apart from the film Generations which in fact showed William Shatner die, ending the era of the original adventures, and also the death of one of the best franchises ever conceived.  

Other adventure movies continued onwards.  Such as the Indiana Jones originals, which ended with the third film.  IT ENDED WITH THE THIRD FILM, OK!!!!!  Then came these far out crazy films, such as Terminator 2, in some way is an adventure film, with a strong epic feel, then there's The Abyss, and many many more. But somewhere in the 21st century, we lost it.  And so the adventure film was banished from our screens, to be replaced with documentary style actions and deeply depressing stories of lost children and aging wrestlers.  

But now, May 2009 will remain a date in my calender as a great day in adventure film history as i see a potential new founder of franchise.  Star Trek, i'll admit wasn't well known for its adventure, but for its sci-fi wonder and world that it created within itself.  but i still see every classic film as a great adventure, thriving throughout the galaxy in fantastical ships against unbeatable enemies and increasingly worrying odds, with the brilliantly camp mind of James T Kirk behind the wheel of a massive (oddly shaped) ship named the Enterprise.  

This new film has reinforced my point greatly, as everyone, I'm sure will agree that this new film is a thrill ride and roller-coaster of fun adventure just waiting to jump out of the screen at you.  It's definitely one for the books.

Didn't give anything away did i?
