    CommentsXp Best movie ever!
    TaryBiggBall It was OK. I don't see why everyone loves it so much. It wasn't very smart or deep or well-directed.
    ChanFamous I wanted to like it more than I actually did... But much of the humor totally escaped me and I walked out only mildly impressed.
    Tayloriona Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.
    louk-81235 I am a huge Star Trek fan and over the years have greatly enjoyed all of the Star Trek series as well as the many movies . My Favorite series was & always will be the original Star Trek, with Shatner, Nimoy & the rest.So when I was lucky to find Star Trek Continues, I was absolutely & happily mesmerized with it from the first episode on.The way it picks up & continues on from some of the original episodes is brilliant. The stories are very well written & the actors are top-notch in their roles. Vic Mignogna plays William Shatner's Captain Kirk to perfection & Todd Haberkorn does the same for Leonard Nimoy's Mr. Spock.Everything about this series is purely amazing, especially for the fans who started with the original Star Trek in the 1960's.I look forward to watching the last 3 episodes but will be saddened to see Star Trek Continues come to an end. I recommend this Web series to everyone!
    marino-simic The series is a nice attempt however the protagonists are not well skilled actors and the story writers are doing noobish canon and fact mistakes.Claims such as "this ship has been improved to be able to do warp 15 at least" is total rubbish since we know that:"By the 24th century, infinite velocity was designated as warp factor ten. It was considered to be unattainable by conventional means."
    magnusman60 I was born the same year that this all started and meet most of the cast over the years outside of the fan experience.The movies are great but this is the only one that made me close my eyes ans swear i was hearing the original.The original spirit is certainly alive and well to a almost eerie degree.A very good eerie and one that is most definitely needed in this day and age.On a more personal note this scotty would make the past scotty a very proud father.
    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
