This is a nice way for me to start the Star Trek collection. Like all good things, we should always start from the beginning.

The remastered version (actually, the second remastered version), looks impressive. The show does not look as outdated as the original picture. The effects are much better now, the lights, the shadows, the sounds, well, everything.

Now in my collection is only missing two more seasons of TOS, full TNG, full DS9, full Voyager and full Enterprise (plus the animated series, although I don’t really want them that much, at least for now).

Last Sunday I finally went to Odeon to see the new Star Trek movie. It does cut with the past (or the future?) of the series, and in the end left me with a mixture of feelings.

I’ve enjoyed the movie. There is a lot of action, the acting was good and the story was cool. But, at the same time, there are those things that you think “why haven’t they done this differently so it would be easier?”. Also, the events on this movie create a new universe, so what we have learned trought the characters of TOS, TNG, DS9, Voyager and Enterprise gets lost in time.

All in all, is a movie that is worth seeing. Storywise, I dare to say it is the best Star Trek movie so far. But because it cuts completly with the know universe, other people might disagree (a part of me does).

Only five more months to go, so that we can go to the cinema see the new Star Trek XI, directed by J.J. Abrams.

The movie will be a return to origins, where we will see the young days of the crew of Star Trek. Kirk, Sulu, McCoy, Ahura and Spock, among many others, will make us company during the duration of the movie.

A second trailer has emerged, and this must be torture. A trailer like this, and we still have to wait five more months. So far, it looks like the original canon will not be followed, so maybe this means a new era for Star Trek will begin now.

Maybe one day we may have more than a glimpse of NCC-1701-J.
