Star Trek is out now on DVD in the UK, lucky me I got mine through the post two days early so I was able to enjoy it all over again on Saturday night.

Star Trek features Chris Pine (Smokin’ Aces) as the legendary Kirk, Heroes favourite Zachary Quinto as Spock, Zoe Saldana (Avatar) as Uhura, John Cho (FlashForward) as Sulu and Leonard Nimoy (Original Star Trek Series) reprises his role as the ‘other’ Spock. They are all joined with a host of other stars that make this film one of the best of 2009.

Star Trek Poster

You don’t need to be a fan of the original Star Trek series or any of the subsequent films or television series to watch this film, you don’t even need to be a science fiction fan or have even seen a Star Trek episode. This story is a new retelling for all the family of how the first crew got their start in the Star Trek universe. Entertaining, funny, clever, well written with plenty of action and drama to keep everyone satisfied. Definitely a must watch!
