If you have ever loved STAR TREK, read this!

In Star Trek opening in the U.K. at midnight tonight and spreading wide from tomorrow, Bruce Greenwood's Captain Christopher Pike looks down on a cocky James T. Kirk (Chris Pine) and tells him "Your father was a Starship Captain for 12 minutes, he saved 800 lives. I dare you to do better". You know, that awesome line of dialogue which seriously runs against "FIRE EVERYTHING" and "James T. Kirk was a great man, but that was another life" as the money-making lines, the ones which you find yourself remembering and reciting for days. Well imagine me as Bruce Greenwood. "Watchmen, the most faithful comic book adaptation of all time, the one YOU were clamouring to be made for years made only $182 million worldwide on a budget of $150 million from those of you who could be bothered to see the movie. I DARE YOU TO DO BETTER WITH STAR TREK!". 475_greenwood_090506 Despite how mainstream Star Trek looks and how much promotion they are giving it, the film still needs your help folks. You have been with us for the three years this film has been in production. Obsessed With Film has followed this project since J.J. Abrams' first annoucement as the producer, the first sign of a reboot, all the casting, the first trailer leak, the first word of a review etc. You have certainly had your say, you've heard my say and we've all enjoyed listening to it. But now it's time to put your words into action. Star Trek is a phenomenal film, it truly is. Taken from my review last week... Whether you have ever loved any incarnation of Star Trek, whether you have loved Serenity, Battlestar Galatica, Star Wars or even if you are new to any of those franchises. Your going to love this. Star Trek is the perfect platform for a newbie and just like over the past decade comic books have become cool, now so will Star Trek. And fanboys shouldn€™t become bitter about it, they should embrace it because this series should now live long and prosper and there€™s more than enough here to satisfy what you have come to expect from this franchise. I DARE YOU TO SEE THIS. We failed on Watchmen, it deserved better. Don't let the same happen to Star Trek, which has truly never been this good. This film series has so much potential for future good but you have to go and see it to make the magic happen. The movie will be buried at first film otherwise and you will only piss and moan if they decide not to make anymore. NOW IS THE TIME TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE.
