Star Wars-Clone Wars (Single Disc) new! | | | Director: Dave Filoni | | Format: DVD Release Date: 11/10/2009 |  | Star Wars: The Clone Wars - DVD Review By: Rich Knight - Cinema Blend DVD Reviews Published on: 11/17/2008 11:52 PM | | While watching Star Wars: The Clone Wars, I pitied today's youth. It's not that this film is entirely terrible. But if this is what today's youth is growing up with-one lightsaber battle too many-then how could they ever possibly find interest in the far superior original trilogy of Episodes 4, 5, and 6 read the full review | |

People tend to measure the quality of a Star Trek movie in relation to those near it in the cycle. Compared to episodes before (5 and 7) and those that followed (9 and 10), this eighth installment of the unkillable series is surprisingly watchable. Jonthan "Riker" Frakes is at the helm this time, taking the Next Generation crew on its first mission without the original series cast. The setup comes fast, as Frakes trots out one of the series' most reliable villains: The Borg. Building from the mythology set up in the series, Picard (a former Borg captive) has a serious axe to grind, and when Starfleet ends up in a skirmish with an invading Borg ship, he defies orders and engages them in battle. read the full review | |

This is the one with the whales. That's right. The Romulans and Klingons are put aside for one episode in order to create an enemy from a faraway world, suggesting that humpback whales are not native to earth -- that they're an alien species that communicates with the whales of earth through some unknown method. When the space whales haven't heard from their earthbound pals (we're told they were driven to extinction centuries in the movie's past), they decide to pay a visit. The unintended consequence is the destruction of the power systems of everything in its path. read the full review | |

It is nearly gospel now among Trekkies that the second Star Trek installment, Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan, is the undisputed best of the series, and will likely never meet its equal. Inspired by classic literature like Moby Dick, Paradise Lost, and King Lear -- along with classic navy films -- Nicholas Meyer's major directorial debut is indeed the best of the series and it's a classic sci-fi flick on its own, outside the Trek mythology altogether. read the full review | |
