bmaschi I'll give this a couple stars for the attempt. It was fun to see so many of the old cast and the general idea was solid. But I also found the film's direction to be disingenuous and even hypocritical.There was a right-wing libertarian philosophy built into the script and that would have been a slap in the face to the original Star Trek creator – Gene Rodenberry, who was a socialist (the opposite of a right-wing libertarian). From the near-opening dialogue about the 'needs of the many' to a starship captain named Galt, the politics were subtle, but there. Galt, btw, was the main character in wacky libertarian Ayn Rand's novel: Atlas Shrugged.Libertarians aren't creative enough to make up their own pop-culture so they need to try and co-opt everyone else's, insisting on a sickening revisionism of original intents. Star Trek is all about a peaceful and cooperative exploration of space whereas libertarians would prefer it being a competitive, you-lose-I-win, universe where the Ferengi Rules of Acquisition are the new Prime Directives.

William Lucas Lots of good points and had lots of good potential, but left me feeling the void because, simply said, this one is not the Star Trek I was expecting. I have read many articles on FaceBook about Star Trek Renegades and each one had left me with the impression, the fans were true to have made this one become possible. So I was expecting a lot more than was delivered.Acting: 3/10 Some acting was good, but most of it wasn't. Tim Russ was the director. Mr. Russ should have asked for help from Johnathan Frakes. There were parts of the movie that clearly jumped around and cause confusion and a blank in the train of thought during the playback.Video: 9/10 The movie has great video quality. The darks were just right and colors were correct. However, speaking of Admiral Chekov's uniform, I'm thinking it was made for a dish washer, because the sleeves were way too short. Sort of had reminded me of high waters pants, if you know what I mean.Audio: 5/10 The audio channels were not as distinctive as one would expect.Final thoughts: Would I watch the next episode of Star Trek Renegades? I believe the first episode is a good start. I am with high hopes the series will become better and stronger as they continue to be produced.

samgreer-694-680740 Days of our Lives plus V (the crappy '80s TV series) = this abomination. San Fran looks like a scene out of V 1984 in this movie. Is there a protagonist? Antagonist? IDK. Too many characters, too little plot. They boldly went where no one wanted to go. I never thought I'd be yearning for Chris Pine, but then I didn't think the bar for this franchise could be lowered any further. I guess this is like a 90 minute episode of that "Next Generation" garbage? Don't know exactly because I can't watch that show - it's so awful. This is equally horrible, so its probably pretty close. I'd love to tell you how it ended, but I didn't make it that far. I have no desire to know, you won't either. You'll be looking to transport out of this disaster.

Johan-smedjebacka I am a backer of this fan film and really looked forward to see it, what do I think after seeing it? Well, I was ready for low budget effects so that was not a problem for me, it's the story that's the problem, because i'm not sure if this can be classified as Star Trek, even JJ Abrams movies had more respect for old star trek. This is a dark tale without moral. Chekov and Tuvok seem to have no problem cooperating with criminals who shoot to kill every time and why is Tuvok even in this movie? He gets like 2 minutes screen time, I wish he had got more screen time and Icarus crew less.Then we have the enemy.. that is so terrible and frightful in the beginning of the movie, but is in the end taken out just by some random criminals led by Khan's daughter.No this is not the Star Trek i grew up with and I prefer Star Trek continues instead of this dark tale. This is not what Gene Roddenberry's Star Trek was meant to be.
