Star Trek: First Frontier

Yes the sound was a distraction. But is a minor thing considering how good the story is. Brianna Ferris as Lieutenant Lyra is a high point for me, as the details and fanboy details. id love to see this company get another shot.

The dialog is mixed so low as to be drowned out by the music and the audio effects are deafening. T.J. Garland is credited (blamed?) as production sound mixer. Many of his other credits are as a boom operator. The visual effects are a mixed bag. Some are on a par with ST:TMP, others are reminiscent of very early Doctor Who. Early Doctor Who was constrained by the technology of the day, a handicap which doesn't apply to STFF.

Based on what I was able to piece together from the visuals and snippets of dialogue, some force from the future is threatening to destroy Earth and the Enterprise saves the day. Or something.

It's OK if you can forgive it some technological failings.

Before you pass judgement on this, remember, this is fan fiction, it's not a high budget, studio produced movie. The acting is a little wooden in places but enjoyable nonetheless. Fans of the original Star Trek won't be disappointed. There are sound issues. Often, the music is too loud for the dialogue, much of it has been borrowed from Star Trek - The Motion Picture. Yes, it could have done with much more time being spent on post production. Take this film for what it is. Fan fiction with very little funding. Enjoy it!

A noble effort and yet another reason to be disgusted by what CBS has done to the the Star Trek ideal. Good story, well-casted, and wise to use James Horner's sweeping score. Yes the sound is bad and the effects are not up to current standards, but you've got to appreciate the effort and drive to create a feature length film with "stone knives and bear skins." Not up there with Star Trek Continues, but I hope they will keep exploring this end of the Star Trek universe. They got the tone right.

A great action adventure, classic Trek movie with great characterization. Very enjoyable from the starting credits (featuring a Nichelle voiceover) to the end. Great music (also featuring a Nichelle voiceover) to the end. The special effects, while not always excellent in some setups (you could tell the actors were playing before a green screen in some shots) werre still very good, and largely on a par with the original series or beyond. Liked the andorian communications officer. The uniforms and make up were good, so glad to see no overproduction in these things, which so often happened in other productions merely because they had the funds. Anyone who appreciated the original series should love this movie, as I did. Far superior to anything put by network showrunners.
