THE big movie of the summer will be Star Trek. Rather than being the next in the series, following on from the events of Nemesis, this new film goes back to the very beginning to see how Kirk and the crew got their first mission. SO it isn't a sequel to the series. Yet in a way it is. Romuluns have travelled back in time to dstroy the Earth so it's up to the Kirk of that time to stop them.
Hopefully future episodes with the new crew will continue after this film finishes. Sylar from Heroes plays Spock, Simon Pegg plays a comedy Scotty, while Kirk is played by an unknown. (Matt Damon contacted the studio offering to play Kirk, but was told he was too old.)
