What started off in 1966 as a television series is now ready with its eleventh big screen avatar. Popular sci-fi TV series, “Star Trek” (listed by the Guinness Book of world records for having the maximum spin offs — five television series and 10 movies) is all set to capture the big screen again this weekend.

“Star Trek” has its dedicated band of followers and each decade has seen a fresh batch trekkies enchanted with the voyages of the Starship Enterprise.

There is the special salute, the famous dialogues of “going where no man has gone before” and of course “Beam me up Scottie” which has become part of the collective conscience. There are those who are eagerly awaiting this latest trip by Enterprise.

Going by the previews of the movie by critics, one could expect a fast paced, funny to some extent, thrilling action movie.

So whether you are a Trekkie or if you want to watch a good movie, you have something to look forward to.
