The Reviewinator: Star Trek Beyond (2016)

50 years. It’s not easy making it this far. Star Trek really has tried to cover a lot of territory in all that time. After 5 TV shows consisting of 28 seasons (725 episodes), and (now) 13 movies, the fact … Continue reading

The Reviewinator: Star Trek Into Darkness (2013)

I first saw Star Trek 12 on The Simpsons back in 1992. This one is, obviously, quite different. After 2009’s Star Trek successfully revived a franchise that was so very much past its prime, everyone assumed the 2nd movie (technically the … Continue reading

The Reviewinator: Star Trek (2009)

There seems to be no end to this final frontier. Take this movie: Is it a reboot? A prequel? But there’s an alternate timeline? But Old Spock is in it, so is it a reboot hidden inside a prequel-sequel? (As if … Continue reading

The Reviewinator: Star Trek – Enterprise (2001-2005)

Enterprise. That word will forever be synonymous with Star Trek, so it was the perfect title for this prequel series. Taking place nearly 100 years before Captain Kirk’s time, many “firsts” happen on this show, setting up the mythology we’ve … Continue reading

We now come to the 4th Star Trek TV series: Voyager. This show follows the traditional Star Trek formula of a crew aboard a ship exploring the galaxy. If you were to look up images of every Star Trek TV … Continue reading

The Reviewinator: Star Trek – Deep Space Nine (1993-1999)

Deep Space Nine. Well, I certainly feel like I’m in deep something, because this is where binge-watching all things Star Trek becomes more work than fun. Beginning during The Next Generation’s 6th Season, Deep Space Nine is on a parallel … Continue reading

The Reviewinator: Star Trek – Insurrection (1998)

With two TV shows dominating the small screen, we now return to the big screen for the ninth entry in the film franchise, Star Trek: Insurrection. After the dark tone of First Contact, a lighter tone was chosen for this … Continue reading

Eight movies in and we get the first true Next Generation feature film, directed by none other than Commander Riker himself, Jonathan Frakes! What a difference it makes to be directed by someone who not only has a true understanding of Star … Continue reading

The Reviewinator: Star Trek – Generations (1994)

Captain Kirk or Captain Picard? It seems, even to this day, that this is the biggest question “Trekkies” ask one another. Do you prefer the good old-fashioned, roll-up-your-sleeves, gung-ho approach offered by Kirk, or the more disciplined, analytical, peaceable approach … Continue reading
