    Horrendous loud music!!!

    I am a huge trekkie, and I have found watching this documentary extremely strenuous. I don't know who was in charge of the music mixing and editing, but I do not thank them. Not only the same themes are endlessly repeated but because they are short, there is a feeling of music brain washing in the repetition. And they are soooo loud ! Really hard to make out what the participants are saying sometimes. Painful ! That said, the doc is very interesting, though we already saw and heard some of the things on it in previous docs. Always a delightful journey down memory lane to see all the elements that remind us of how and why we loved Star Trek. Nothing really new but a sweet bit of nostalgia. Live long and prosper. F. ps: I would have rated it better if the music hadn't been so annoying.

    The end is just the beginning

    This is a documentary made up of interviews(from different times and places) with franchise(and outside ones who are fans) cast(albeit Shatner's absence is hard to ignore. They do talk about him, and it's almost all positive. Well, the other captains aren't there, either. I could go into the many smart, thoughtful people's names, but it would quickly become a list, and a lovefest), crew, scientists, etc.(they of course don't get equal time), show and film clips, zooms on stills, and historical footage. It goes into, well, see the title. It's 1 hour and 24 minutes without ads. According to what I read on here. I watched it with, and couldn't tell you for sure. For me, it was 117 min.

    They discuss a lot of subjects. Diverse people working together to solve problems: women, Asians and African-Americans: right there next to white men, with responsibilities, receiving respect. The technology and how much of it we have today. Inspiring generations. Everyone has something to say and is interesting to listen to. It's edited well and goes into the right amount of detail. Here and there they dive deep into a certain special effect, scene or important conversation. And yet they manage to cover half a century's worth of series and movies. It doesn't really touch on J.J.'s reboot and its trilogy. So, you know, all of Star Trek is gone into. They're fairly honest, admitting when there were missteps.

    This contains some disturbing content and two bleeped swears(you know exactly the words used). It spoils countless of the big plot points in the many hours of ST. Keep that in mind. I recommend this to anyone, Trekkie or otherwise. 8/10

    Bad use of sound

    Drove me crazy with the overly loud music played during the interviews.

    Informative, but the music will drive you insane

    A fascinating retrospective on Star Trek. Interesting interviews, some never before revealed facts, but oh god, the music. Every second of the nearly 90 minute runtime has this god awful, repeating every 30 seconds soundtrack. On top of this, they couldn't get the rights to the original music for any of the Star Trek series so they tried to make it sound as similar as they could, so it all comes off as sounding wrong. If you have the time, read the books by Gross and Altman instead. Way more in-depth, honest, and you can listen to better music.

    • Goofs
      At least two photos shown as stills/publicity photos were in fact fan made photo manipulations including one of Seven of Nine in a First Contact era uniform and another of B'Elanna Torres holding baby Miral.
