I must admit that after viewing 15 or so minutes of this copycat Star Trek, I was extremely disappointed. In fact I actually deleted the file. Some of the actors looked the part, others did not. The acting was seemingly wooden. I then read the reviews, sure that all would agree with me. Not so. Others had the same initial misgivings but seemed to urge me to give it a chance. So I did. After 3 episodes it did grow on me, and it became extremely enjoyable. I found myself back in my teens watching this on TV. Aside from the acting which is a bit iffy, they have done a really good job of replicating the show. I found I suspended my disbelief in the characters appearance, and I really got into it. The stories follow the themes set down in the original and are actually very well presented. One change they did make, which had been a real sore point for me in the first episodes, was the actor playing Dr. McCoy. The new character is much easier to accept. If you are of the new generation you may find the lack of CGI and "played down" violence unappealing. But for those of us who remember, this is reverent homage to the original. Enjoy.

I truely enjoyed this movie. It is a great action adventure saga with memorable characters. I can not for the life of me understand why this movie has gotten so many low reviews. It has a solid story. I can not quite say this was an epic, but is very close to it. Very well done action sequences and a monumental battle scene make this a great story. The characters are well played and I was particularly struck by Aishwarya Rai Bachchan as Mira, absolutely gorgeous and the ever talented Ben Kingsly. Actualy the entire cast delivered solid performances. This is a very enthralling tale, for the whole family. Needless to say they have played it very loose with the facts but just suspend your disbelief and enjoy. The finale reveals an amazing and heart warming twist, espec ialy for fans of this genre.

The reviews on this ran from very bad to very good. I like scify and the synopsis appealed to me, so I gave it a try. The film falls completely at the lowest end of the rating scale. In every way it was a very poorly made film. The acting is abysmal, the special effects are even worse. Did not watch it long enough to know if there was plot. It's not even worth investing the 20 minutes that I gave this film. Now, i am not a movie snob and am relatively easy to please but this just missed every mark. Do yourself a big favor and give this a complete pass. I don't know what's happening now but most of the new movies rate with this one.
