Others have commented on the poor sound and I have to agree. The movie doesn't seem to have been mastered to a consistent level which makes it difficult to follow and spoils the whole thing.
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.
I hope whomever did their sound production, NEVER!!! DOES!!! IT!!! AGAIN!!! It was TERRIBLE!!!
Great movie concept especially for a fan-based movie. I can get passed the green screen effects not being great but when your sound is off, it ruins everything.
It either deafens you from being way too loud, some weird stupid music played at the wrong times, or you couldn't hear it at all. I hope they fired their sound crew lol
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.
As mentioned in other reviews the movie captures Star Trek the oiginal series BUT...the soundtrack and lighting needs work bigtime!
Whomever did the audio for this movie needs to really re-think their profession. The background FX sounds drown out the dialogue. Often to the point of it being un-intellagible. PLEASE FIX THE SOUNDTRACK!!
Also, just as important is the POOR lighting. I fully understand that low light makes things grittier but like most movies over the last 20 years, the lighting is so poor you can't see anything! There seems to be a trend with movies that not being able to see the characters movements and faces has become a sick joke.
I never heard that this movie was even being made. Looking around on YouTube over the last week has found numerous STAR TREK TV shows/movies that never saw the light of day. Thank you YOU TUBE for saving these tasty treats!
