Chance Encounter

Very lovely story without the usual sex, violence and swearing which seams to feature in every day media A basic film in the Startrek universe and so very very good.

A romantic dip into the Star Trek universe that holds to the tradition set by Gene Roddenberry. Even in a bright future the human drama continues - in this case with a mourning scientist, played with subtle poignentcy by Hayward Morse. He returns to the spot where his happiness began for one last moment. Excellent production values and use of existing Trek music and effects. Proves, as if it needed to, that Star Trek is about the human expereience. I could only wish that the cretins who are producing the dark and overproduced Star Treks for Paramount would sit down for once, grow up a bit, and watch this.

This short fan episode of Star Trek has a good feel to it. The sets are convincing and the acting is good. The story is clever and it is easy to relate to the characters in it. There is a bit of CGI towards the end that feels a little bit out of place but if you watch the behind the scenes look you can see why they needed to do it. Fantastic work for a low budget production. 9/10
