Movies starring George Takei

The Green Berets (1968)

132 mins     Action , Drama, War      

I will admit I know little about the Vietnam War, I wasn't even in school when in 1975 Acting President of South Vietnam Duong Van Minh surrendered and the subject of the Vietnam War wasn't taught in British schools. Yet I kn...

Star Trek: The Motion Picture (1979)

132 mins     Adventure , Mystery, Sci-Fi      

I don't remember ever watching a full episode of any of the Star Trek TV shows, maybe a bit here and there but never a whole episode from start to finish. In fact my relationship to Star Trek consists of remembering that scho...

Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan (1982)

113 mins     Action , Adventure , Drama      

If I was to be really truthful "Star Trek: The Motion Picture" disappointed me as it was too reverent and slow for those who were not die hard Trekkies. But fortunately when a few years later they returned with the second "St...

Star Trek III: The Search for Spock (1984)

105 mins     Action , Adventure , Sci-Fi      

After what seems like an even worse first movie "The Wrath of Khan" saved the Star Trek franchise but also created a bit of a rod for its own back because it was better than expected and meant future movies had a lot to live ...

Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home (1986)

119 mins     Action , Adventure , Comedy, Sci-Fi      

"Star Trek IV" is an entertaining oddity and lets be honest with a storyline which features time travel and the call of the humpback whale it is easy to understand why it can sound complete and utter nonsense. Yet as I said i...

Return from the River Kwai (1989)

101 mins     Drama, War      

This is not a sequel, I repeat this is not a sequel. That may be a bit of an overkill but if you saw "Return from the River Kwai" appear on the TV schedule and knew nothing about it you might think that it must be a sequel to...

Star Trek V: The Final Frontier (1989)

119 mins     Action , Adventure , Sci-Fi      

As I have mentioned before in my reviews of the earlier Star Trek movies, I am not a Trekkie and so my interest in the Star Trek movies is purely out of looking to be entertained. Now a movie doesn't have to be good to entert...

Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country (1991)

113 mins     Action , Adventure , Mystery, Sci-Fi      

Here's the good news "Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country" is an improvement on "Star Trek V" and whilst I would have loved for the movies with the original crew to have come to an end after the fourth movie I am glad they...

Shockwave (2006)

94 mins     Action , Sci-Fi, TV Movie      

Maybe they have already done it but if not I am waiting for the movie to arrive called "Mega Shark vs Mega Robot" as that is the sort of thing you would expect if you watch, or should that be endure, "Shockwave", which also g...

Larry Crowne (2011)

98 mins     Comedy, Drama, Romance      

I hate movies which leave me unsure of whether or not I enjoyed them and sadly despite featuring the talents of Tom Hanks and Julia Roberts "Larry Crowne" left me unsure. I find myself wondering whether or not I do like it or...

Money Fight (2012)

119 mins     Action , Drama      

Depending on your philosophical bint you might say that "Money Fight", which is also known as "Art of Submission", has a lot of story or on the other hand you might say it has a lot of cliche. Whilst I enjoyed "Money Fight" I...

Free Birds (2013)

91 mins     Adventure , Animation, Comedy      

I will admit right away that I am way to old for the movie "Free Birds", this is a movie all about the comedy of stupid characters doing some stupid things on a frankly stupid quest. And unlike other animated movies which gen...
