Advance Reviews/Previews

(1991 Director: Nicholas Meyer) FANTASTIC! My 2nd or 3rd favorite Star Trek movie & is a tale of sabotage.! So as not to risk spoiling the plot of the movie for you, just let me say that the crisis in this movie is legitimate. Big things are at stake in an alarming scenario where by some bizarre twist of fate the Klingon moon which is where they had centralized their weapons manufacture is nearly blown to bits.

Politics comes into play immediately with Enterprise Admiral James Tiberius Kirk (William Shatner) being volunteered as a peace emissary with the Klingon leaders.

This film I watched with my old roommate who owned a copy of the movie. I swear it just hit me today...that the female (Vulcan) lead is well played by Kim Cattrall (Sex in the City's Samantha) who donned jet black hair for the part!! A bit pf trivia that perhaps MIGHT make you lean IN FAVOR of seeing this poetic license film. All of the classic original cast co-star including George Takei (Oblivion, Mulian & Mulan II). This film caused me to finally understand the comparison some early critics of Star Trek comparing it to a passion play, such as Shakespeare.

GREAT SPECIAL EFFECTS FO RTHE TIME PERIOD......AND A MEANINGFUL STORYLINE..INCLUDING A SHAKESPEARE-QUOTING GENERAL CHANG (who wears an eye patch) OF THE KLINGON FORCES!!

A real shocker!! Had to watch it straight through from beginning to end! (Lt. Greer) Bruce Willis in another of "those roles".eyebrows raising..hard to describe really...I suppose Willis is comfortable with The 6th Sense or Unbreakable where Willis' co-star Samuel L. Jackson was the unwitting villain unbeknownst to the audience until almost the very end of that movie. WIlli's' surrogate has a younger face than WIllis but it captures his "je ne sais quo" that so many of us adore about Brucie Baby!! Left me with a little bit of a feeling of chills?!?



MUST SEE for its well developed storyline....if somewhat simpliistic handling of substiutes (or surrogate) robots replacing their wealthy owners in their more mundane, day-to-day activities. This trend set in the not too far off future takes off becoming populari to the point a high percentage of talented + wealthy peoples' lives outside of the home are being conducted by the "droid" surrogates in a "business as usual" manner. But there is an underground an undercurrent that considers these automatons as an abomination. The droids' naivete contrasts with their superior strength + nonemotional handling of their tasks and show us the real losers in this "strive for more enjoyment by avoidance of living" lesson which is well understood and the truest and deepest sentiments of Greer.



New technology creates a scenario where a coverup of "droids gone wrong" is uncovered by WIllis' droid. To tell you much more would take you too far into the tale...I highly recommend it for its shock factor



Has some great moments!
