Do This!

Boldly go

J.J. Abrams has done a good job of rebooting the Star Trek film franchise, but the originals still stand up pretty well (mostly). Go back to days of future past when the Philadelphia Film Society and Geekadelphia present a Star Trek Retrospective of all six movies, starting with 1979's better-than-you-remember Star Trek: The Motion Picture (Friday), then the 1982 classic Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan (Saturday), the fine 1984 follow-up Star Trek III: The Search for Spock (Sunday, with a William Shatner impersonation contest), the 1986 time-travel treat Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home (Monday, with a costume contest), the 1989 Shatner-esque epic Star Trek V: The Final Frontier (Tuesday, with a costume contest), and the worthy 1991 valedictory Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country (Wednesday, with a new episode of the Web series Starship Farragut). The films screen at the PFS Theater at the Roxy, 2023 Sansom St. Times: 8 p.m. Friday through Wednesday. Tickets: Six-film pass, $50; four-film pass, $35; one film, $10.
