This is an excellent piece of documentary filmmaking. I thoroughly enjoyed it. One of the best aspects of this documentary is that it presents a warts and all look at the making of the series. They do not shy away from some of the negative things that went on. It is nostalgic and emotional and wonderful. The interviews are very interesting and it's great to look back at this wonderful series again. It was a lot deeper than I expected it to be. This thing's got some meat on the bones. For Star Trek geeks like me, it is like catnip. You get the usual behind-the-scenes stuff but oh so much more. Don't miss it!

I saw this film awhile back (while working on a trailer for the film's production company) and it was TERRIBLE. Hewitt is mediocre at best, Hopkins phones his performance in (but still blows away Hewitt in their scenes together) and Alec looks bored. Trust me on this: you should avoid this film like the plague if it ever gets released. It seems to go on forever as the tired plot unfolds at a snail's pace. It is relentlessly unfunny, the cinematography is crappy and the direction is pedestrian. Alec Baldwin should go to film school if he plans to direct again. In terms of his acting, his character is totally unlikable, which makes it impossible to root for him. Dan Ackroyd is pretty funny and the surprising makeup of the jury near the film's end is cute, but this film is just plain awful.

This was noted Christian director Rich Christiano's first short film and it has become extremely successful, selling thousands of copies and airing often on Christian television. The story is compelling and interesting and it has a positive message that any Christian should be able to relate to. Technically, it's not polished, but that's not the most important thing. It's worth checking out, despite what "Ann" from Fairweather says.
