Hard to believe it's just gone ten years since
Star Trek: Nemesis was released. 2002 was expected to be a great year for sci-fi:
The Matrix sequels, a
Red Dwarf film, a
Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy film, and the aforementioned Star Trek X. In the end only Nemesis made it out that year alongside the equally poor
Die Another Day. Shatner's diabolical
Final Frontier narrowly avoided being responsible for the death of the Trek film franchise in 1989 - sadly the responsibility for achieving just that thirteen years later fell on
The Next Generation cast. Interesting it should happen in December 2002 at the exact time Die Another Day was doing the same for Bond. As with my
Skyfall review, discussing
Star Trek into Darkness requires discussing my experiences with Trek. Be warned, it's going to take a few thousand words before I get to the review...
