The Intruder is an amazing film. I would recommend seeing this movie at least once in your life. William Shatner plays a charismatic bigot who comes to a small southern town to get the locals to rise up against racial integration.

The acting in this movie is great. Shatner's performance won him a few awards at film festivals and is stellar. The story itself is well written and directed. He and Roger Corman did an interview on the DVD which is quite interesting. The cast and crew themselves dealt with a lot from the local population while shooting this flick.

Once again, I highly recommend picking this one up for your collection. Or at least rent it.

The movie had a decent idea.. Merge both generations of the Star Trek Universe for one to pass the torch to the other. However, after watching this, you are going to wish they stopped after The Undiscovered Country.

You get to see part of the original cast (Kirk, Scotty and Chekov) for about 10 or so minutes at the beginning of the movie. The majority of the movie is set in the Next Gen time period, which is fine. There are some decent scenes here, nothing extraordinary, but good.

We find Malcom Macdowell as the 'evil' doctor Soran who is trying to get into the Nexus, a place in the universe where time does not exist. To do this, however, he is going to destroy a star in a solar system we know nothing about. A backstory here might have been nice to help build tension, possible inhabitants, etc. None of that. So pretty much, who cares whether or not he does this.

This movie almost seems as though that was the whole point, to kill the hero that has been the figure head of the Star Trek Universe since its creation. There was no climax in the movie, nothing.

Do yourself a favor, save your time, money and strength. Skip over this one, you'll be glad you did.
