My Star Trek Film Series

On May 8, 2008, a new Star Trek film will be released to American theaters, the first new Star Trek film since Star Trek: Nemesis in 2002. This will be the eleventh Star Trek film in the series and it will be first to feature actors not from a television series except for Leonard Nimoy who will reprise his iconic Spock role. In anticipation of Star Trek, I will review the first ten films in the Star Trek film series. I will look at the high points with Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan and Star Trek: First Contact, and the very low point with Star Trek V: The Final Frontier. While some guard Star Trek with an almost religious zeal, others have always seen Star Trek as a stupid series. However there is a reason why in 2009, a series over forty years old still continues to fascinate and is one of the most durable franchises in film history.
