Mind Meld: Secrets Behind the Voyage of a Lifetime

In this one-on-one documentary, with William Shatner interviewing Leonard Nimoy, the two legends reveal the struggles and adventures they have experienced because of their work on Star Trek. The two share their personal demons and hardships in this production, which was shot at Nimoy's Los Angeles home. Nimoy's home was the perfect setting with lush gardens and an office adorned with rare personal photographs and star trek memorabilia - any fans dream! Most of all they reveal their incredible bond and the friendship that has lasted almost four decades. This candid interview between Captain Kirk and Mr. Spock is a necessity for all star trek fans!

Your reaction to this program is going to depend on your affection for these two performers and the iconic characters they've portrayed over nearly thirty five years. I've never been to a Star Trek convention ("not that there's anything wrong with that"), and I was late coming to the original series. Still I was fascinated, moved and totally absorbed in listening to and watching these two men interact. For fans of the series and/or movies this is quite a gift. Both Shatner and Nimoy are very articulate, and their conversation covers a broad range of topics relating to both their personal and professional lives. This video taped conversation takes place in the back yard of Nimoy's home and, briefly, in his den. The affection and respect that these two men share for each other is very apparent. I highly recommend this program to those who appreciate Star Trek in its many incarnations, and to those who admire the work of William Shatner and L

I first want to admit that I am a big fan of Star Trek. As a fan, I appreciated the format of a one on one interview between Leonard Nimoy and William Shatner. This probably wouldn't have been as interesting to me if it wouldn't have been for the fact that both actors are over 70 years old now and they had a lot to say. It might have been nice if a 3rd party would have been involved in the questioning process, but all in all, I enjoyed it very much and have watched it twice now.

Shatner's reflecting back to an episode of Star Trek (Devil in the Dark) and Nimoy's reaction to Shatner's memory of the incident was very amusing and reminded me of a simular situation I'd shared with a friend recently.

This is no doubt focused on the memory of Star Trek to these two lead actors of The Original Series. Of the documentaries on the series, this was definately the best of the bunch. If your a moderate fan of Star Trek, rent it if you can find it. If your a big fan, this is a must have to add to your collection.

This will be brief commentary about a great program. I loved this DVD, It was very interesting to see what Kirk & Spock had to say about their lives on and off Star Trek.

This is a great program if you like Star Trek or are a fan of Mr Shatner or Mr Nimoy. If not, this i just 70 minutes of boring conversation.

But i loved it, and i loved it a lot.

"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.
