The Future Begins On November!

It's the start of November, and while everyone's still reeling from the Trick or Treating, there's some time to give to pay our respects to the patron saints and our dearly departed. At the same time, it's a new month to look forward to, with so much coming up and only a few weeks more til Christmas arrives! Well, for those who happen to be in the market for some blockbuster movie goodness, Xmas just came early, and now two of 2009's blockbuster films are available in official record and video stores - namely Transformers: Revenge Of The Fallen and JJ Abrams epic relaunch film of the Trek franchise, Star Trek! Having dropped by the mall today, I went to check out these eye candy treats at the shelves. As expected, the usual one disc and two disc sets were available, but something else REALLY caught my eye that totally made the Trekkie fanboy in me jump like crazy! What is it? Take a look at this!

Hoozah! A Star Trek Limited Ed Enterprise DVD set! No regular versions were available, and instead this pretty little box set was there, and it happened to be the last piece too. There's a good reason why it's limited... namely because the DVD case is a 6" replica of the latest movie incarnation of the Starship Enterprise! As brilliant way to make things presentable, the guys who made this limited edition release designed the hull of the ship ro house the discs, thereby making the infamous vessel more than just a toy to display. It's got it's own stand too, and after assembling this baby, you'll feel pretty proud of yourself like an officer of Starfleet would. Truly, it's the perfect way to own the movie, especially if you're a Trekkie and enjoyed the wonderfully done movie by JJ Abrams. It's too early to review this baby, but I tested it out, and so far I'm liking the design and presentation Paramount Pictures and co. have done to give the fans the ultimate Trek experience. So far I've seen the gag reel and 'New Vision' special features, and their pretty awesome segments that will make you realize how exhilarating and intriguing the whole movie making process was for the entire cast and filmmaking crew involved. I'm glad I got this set, and it's a good way to usher in November. To use one of Captain James T. Kirk's infamous quotations - "It's time for Warp Speed, Mr. Sulu!". Engage!

Man. I gotta get my Star Trek fix. Currently just running re-runs of Capt. Archer's Star Trek Enterprise.
