They say you're either a Star Wars fan or a Trekkie. Well, I dare to challenge that notion, because after watching the new Star Trek film (dare I say it) I’m both! From the opening scenes, you know you’re in for a hell of a ride. This is a new era for Star Trek, revamped for your viewing pleasure.

An elderly balloon man fulfills his promise to live a life of adventure: After tying thousands of balloons to his house, he, his home and a young wilderness explorer stowaway are bound on a South American journey of discovery. This action/adventure comes together with out-of-this-world animation and a fabulous story. Fun for all ages.
