SnoReptilePlenty Memorable, crazy movie

Supelice Dreadfully Boring

InformationRap This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.

shrame Honestly, I didn't know what to expect when I watched the first episode on YouTube but this really looks and feels like the original series. The sets, costumes, the story lines, even the effects are spot on. The acting, for some of the crew was a little wooden at first, but by the latest episode, the entire crew has evolved and improved significantly. It's really remarkable what these people have done with their passion and such a small budget, as opposed to some of the garbage that comes out of Hollywood these days. I would love to see this get mainstream exposure, a bigger budget, a release on Netflix or on an appropriate channel like the SciFi network or CometTV. In my opinion it's even better than the recent reboot films and I'm not lying when I say that there are times where I'll be watching this and I'll forget that it's not the real thing, especially the actor that plays Captain Kirk, he really has the mannerisms down to a science.

ron-agnelo-saldanha Everything feels rights, and honestly few minutes in and most would tend to forget it's not the same cast / show! Do you usually need prescription glasses to watch TV? Take them off if you were a fan of the original because apart from the faces, there's no telling this apart!Love it!

amicakovic Of course Im used to the TOS Characters and Actors, so I was very sceptical about this series. Still as the Trekki that I am of course I gave it a try. And the series is great. Already with the second episode it caught me fully, it delivers the same sense and feeling as the Orig. Series(n thats what is intended) n sticks to the philosophical and idological aspects of "Human" Nature as I guess was intended by mr. roddenberry.It didn't only braught back childhood memories, but also made me reminisince and rethink my actions and since I first watched the series as a youngster. (i know that thats totally personal and has nothing to do with the series, except using as a testemony to the quality it has.)Im impressed and delighted, and i hope they keep up the good work."Excuse my bad English, enjoy the show"

jayj-17577 I just stumbled across this on You Tube, but wow, awesome. I've watched the first two episodes.I'm not some huge "trekkie". I watched the original series when it aired (yes, I'm an old man) and liked it, but my opinion of subsequent Trek incarnations went steadily downhill.You have to understand that in may ways this series is a homage to the original series. It does not attempt to go in any new directions: quite the opposite, it appears to be a deliberate attempt at "more of the same".I was amazed at how well they reproduced the original sets. I didn't study pictures of the original series and this side by side to compare, but the bridge and the transporter room looked the same to me, and other places clearly had the same look and feel. I'd be interested to know how they produced the sets: did they get their hands on 50-year old sets from Desilu? Did they reproduce them by studying the old series? Etc. Similarly, the model of the Enterprise looks the same to me, the sound effects all sound the same, the background music is the same style, etc.The new Captain Kirk was clearly trying to imitate the style and mannerisms of the original Captain Kirk, and I think he does a very good job of this. The other actors don't seem to take reprising the roles quite so far. They're more what you'd expect of a new actor in a familiar role. The plots of these first two episodes clearly show the "homage" factor. The first episode is a sequel to an episode from the original series, "Who Mourns for Adonais?" (Much as "Wrath of Khan" was a sequel to an episode from the original series.) The second episode is a homage in two ways: the main character is an "Orion slave girl" a la the brief scene in the original pilot that apparently fascinated fans so much, and it carries on the Star Trek tradition of heavy-handed social messages. (Though at least this time it wasn't about racism.)I see there are, as of this writing, a total of 7 episodes made. I'll have to see how the other 5 fare.I'd score this as follows:Fidelity to the original sets, miniatures, costumes, and music: 9Recreating the original cast: Kirk 9, the rest average maybe 6 or 7.Fidelity to themes and writing style: 8Originality: 2
