Protraph Lack of good storyline.

Marketic It's no definitive masterpiece but it's damn close.

AnhartLinkin This story has more twists and turns than a second-rate soap opera.

Brendon Jones It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.

The_Core "Mind Meld" exceeded all my expectations for a film of this nature. It's hard to imagine how two guys sitting together and talking could be so fascinating, but I found myself riveted by the insights and interaction between these two fellows discussing such a famous and well-known series. Not a moment of boredom to be found here.The re-watchability factor is surprisingly high as well. I've seen "Mind Meld" now about 4 times, and found it equally interesting each viewing. Not sure why that is, but it makes purchasing the DVD a really good idea. I ended up doing just that, and am not sorry. One of the most interesting one-to-one's I've seen. Recommended for anyone who's even a slight fan of the original "Star Trek" series.

stormruston I am a huge fan of Star Trek the original series.If you are not, you will likely find this documentary pretty boring and a bit pointless.This is more about Shatner and Nemoy and their personal life and outlooks and how star trek effected them.. then actually about star trek the TV show.It is well done and very interesting,and we get a glimpse of the inside of Nemoys home.The DVD has a few nice extras on it including "the making of"Worth watching if you like this sort of thing,and you definitely learn a thing or two about the pair, ex specially Nemoy,he seems more open and sincere.Well made.

commandamanda I found "Mind Meld" to be interesting from a Trekker's perspective, as well as possibly from an actor's. The differences between Nimoy's and Shatner's version of craft is explained in detail, offering insights into why the two are friends. Like salt and pepper, they go together - but play off each other. I found some of Shatner's stories to be redundant with those he's told before. He's hesitant, excited, even nervous. Nimoy, on the other hand, told his old stories with such fluidity and vigor that it was a pleasure to watch him. Many secrets are revealed here, especially about Nimoy's life and struggles. Somehow though - I wanted to hear more about the little things. What ticked them off about life on the set? The food? The tricks? These were all left behind in a cloud of private battles. Graphics interrupt what could have been a continual conversation, dividing it up into subjects. I didn't enjoy that. But watching Nimoy deep in thought, sitting on the edge of his seat, finishing Shatner's sentences for him was incredible. One suddenly had the understanding of how they functioned on the set together on a day to day basis. Best up is that of the conversation inside Nimoy's ground-floor office. Look for it. Not really a must-have for Trekkers, but enjoyable and too short. Try it.

jls2698 At first I thought, Who came up with this bright idea? Take two people -- who've know each other for almost forty years, mind you -- and sit them down next to each other for about an hour while the camera is running.As banal and perfunctory as it sounds in theory, in practice, the concept works -- largely because the clash of the two personalities is (as Mr. Spock would say) fascinating. Indeed, it is a clash; Shatner and Nimoy couldn't be more different. Yes, they were born four days apart -- as we find out at the beginning of the film -- and their careers following similar arcs, but their professional concerns and personal problems diverged radically. Nimoy, the actor's actor, and Shater, the comedian, approached the roles from different perspectives. Their Trek journeys, although documented in more detail elsewhere, are discussed with benefit of age-weary hindsight.This film is very entertaining, intriguing in parts, and always interesting. For Trekkers, what more could you want?
