Release date: Monday 6th of October 2003
Starring: Sean Bean, Emily Watson, Christian Bale, Dominic Purcell, Taye Diggs, £12.99 Relying far less on technobabble than TNG, DS9 was unafraid to focus on matters of the spirit instead, demonstrating a ballsy independence from its parent shows. Taking up the gauntlet thrown down by Babylon 5, improved CGI space battles also became a fan favourite. Throughout the increasingly serialised story arc there were rebellious factions within the different establishments: Kira had belonged to the Shakaar resistance cell; the Maquis was Starfleet vs Cardassians; section 31 was a secret Starfleet group; the True Way was a Bajoran group opposed to peace; the Cardassians had their Obsidian Order and the Romulans their Gestapo-like Tal Shiar. Yet for all its constant bickering and espionage (even Bashir got to be James Bond), there was always some contemporary social commentary lurking: the Ferengi were used as a comedic foil to frown on materialistic greed; drugs were looked at via the Jem'Hadar foot soldiers' addiction to Ketracel White. Perhaps Sisko summed up the real heart of things: "Bajor doesn't need a man, it needs a legend". A future vision that retains a place for religion and spirituality turned out to be Deep Space Nine's first best destiny. --Paul Tonks
Editorial
Amazon.co.uk Review
From the outset, Star Trek: Deep Space Nine was about conflict. Producers Rick Berman and Michael Piller challenged the utopian ideals of Gene Roddenberry's Star Trek universe to create something totally different from its predecessors. That meant no familial camaraderie, squeaky-clean Federation diplomacy, or beige décor. Instead they wanted interpersonal friction, ruthless enemies (Gamma Quadrant Imperialists--The Dominion) and rebellion at every turn. The DS9 concept was originally facilitated by introducing the Cardassian/Bajoran war during The Next Generation's final days. After a muted first reception fans gradually came to accept the new look, but no one liked Star Trek without a starship and eventually the producers capitulated to viewers' wishes by introducing the USS Defiant (an apt name) in Season 3.
Just boring.
Review date: 2010-08-26 Rating: 4 out of 10
An awful prologue takes the viewer into an unbelievable setting, and the film opens with a dull gunfight that sets the tone for the rest of the so-called 'action' sequences. Between these we get slowness masquerading as "intellectual depth", and the tedious unravelling of a rip-off plot. There are some nice visual touches, and overall the scene design and lighting is quite good. By the time we get to the really silly stuff (getting all emotional and defending puppies) the time is right to press the "stop" button. Boring.

Most under-rated movie ever
Review date: 2010-06-23 Rating: 10 out of 10
I was amazed to find how good this film is given the fact I hadn't even heard of it.
This has to be one of the most under-rated films I've ever seen.

Brilliant 'Orwellian' type movie. A drugged populace in a big brother society ruled by a kind of 'Thought Police'. Would have liked to have seen more of Sean Bean though!

1984 meets farenheit 451 in matrixland
Review date: 2010-02-11 Rating: 10 out of 10
A retelling of 1984 with flavours taken from other sci-fi concepts such as Farenheit 451 and the Matrix. Absolutely nothing original but an engaging and enthralling roller coaster ride from beginning to end. Definitely made for the box office.
Not like the Matrix
Review date: 2010-02-05 Rating: 10 out of 10
Initially I was put off watching this because it's been compared to the matrix. So, I expected tons of confusing sci-fi and so on. But suprisingly I found it to be a great movie. There's a little bit of everything. Thrilling, action, touching, save the world heroism all rolled into one. So, its appelaing for most audiences. I really loved it in the end because there wasn't too many gunfights, or too much soppiness or too much sci-fi, just a bit of everything and a great storyline!
