Soval's position is far more logical, it is T'Lera position that is emotional, rooted in fea; Soval makes no capital out of it, sticking to his path.

Cynical Cthulhu Star trek reboot 1. Massive ship appears. Captàin wants revenge against federation. Nearly destroys enterprise. Threatens the federation and destroys vulcan. Kirk and crew disable it by boarding and using its kwn technology. Red matter. Super ship destroyed. Kirk gets celebrated as a hero. 2. Supervillan kill captains wanting revenge against federation. Kirk captures him. Admiral appears in a massive ship and nearly destroys enterprise. Kirk and crew disable it by boarding and then using its own tech against it. Beaming live torpedoes onto the ship thinking it was his friends. Federation super ship destroyed. Kirk gets celebrated as a hero. 3. Enterprise actually gets destroyed by a million tiny ships essentially forming one suoer ship. Supervillan wants to destroy federation to make earth strong again. Kirk and crew disable it by boarding villans old ship, one of their new ones and disables enemy in for once a unique and pretty cool way. Kirk gets celebrated as a hero and offered promotion to admiral. Im sensing a pattern. So star trek 4. (14 if we count all films) here are my predictions. Will include. A supervillan of some kind. We have already had human and vulcan as enemies so probobly klingon. Said enemy will have a supership that will nearly destroy the enterprise. Wanting revenge against the federation. This time for attacking their homeworld, which to be fair they did. Kirk and crew will board said ship and use some techno magic to destroy it averting the crisis bringing peace to humans and klingons and kirk will be celebrated as a hero. I swear if this is what happens im gunna be pissed. How to make it better. 1. Give the enterprise a more even fight. Im tired of seing it beaten every film to show how big and bad the enemy is. 2. Do something which hasnt already been done if possible. Its all pretty dry by now

[@Maulinator69]

So say we all. Oops, wrong franchise lol but I concur 100%

[@randomlyentertaining8287]

Eh, JJ's Star Trek movies were fun takes on an alternate Federation. At least they made a reason why many things were different (it being a different timeline) rather than what Discovery did, which is say it was taking place in the same universe as TOS, TNG, etc.

[@jasonschlierman412]

CBS were fools to kill this movie. They should have struck a deal to let it continue and then cashed in on it. This and Continues were the most "Star Trek" Star Trek products since Enterprise ended.

[@danielk5780]

The issue with "cashing in" on it is the following: They could have it run it's course, but instead of releasing it on YT/freely on the internet, they could've released it for the big screen and take in all the profits. They could "buy" it and employ all the production stuff to release it on their own platforms/on the big screen. But that would require an investment by them, and they already have/had money in other projects. They could "buy" it, remove all the production stuff and hire "their" experts to finish it (on a faster time-table comparable to other "professional" products). They could "sell" a limited license to the Axanar-crew. But that would've most likely be problematic for Axanar from a financial point of view. Options one and three would probably meet resistance from the Axanar-crew, and option 2 would not be in the interest of CBS or Paramount. And aside from all of that, this project would by concurring with their other Star Trek projects. They can't have that, considering that there is already limited demand for Star Trek content, especially since the story runs directly opposed to the Klingon-War-story from Disovery. They already have enough different timelines, no need to take the risk and create another one. And sharing the market would've not helped them in any way financially. The easiest way for CBS was to kill it. I'm sorry that I have to play devils advocate here, but I just don't see a way where CBS comes out on top here from a financial point of view.

[@jasonschlierman412]

@@danielk5780 About 20 years ago, Viacom via Pocket Books, held a contest where fans could submit their fan stories and the best were chosen to be professionally published and clearly marked as "fan fiction" in a book. CBS could have done something based on that model. Compile multiple fan works, slap it on a disc and sell it at the next Star Trek convention. Hold a whole panel around it, make a big deal. You're directly marketing it to the fans and not "confusing" the poor general audience (who someone at both Marvel Studios and DC Comics weren't informed that was an issues based on future film projects mixing universes). You're response, while typical corporate thinking, is flawed. Killing Axanar, which I think it's fair to say has shown more fan interest than STD, only served to diminish waning interest in Star Trek as an IP, not grow it. CBS has bungled this franchise for over a decade now, and despite the myriad of productions being pumped out right now, this franchise has never been weaker. You can't keep pushing away fans and not bringing in new ones who will actually care and buy T-Shirts and backpacks.

[@DeanOliver1964]

It's a crying shame that this fate of this project was decided by the courts. Axanar should have been allowed to be completed. This short clip, as well as the Prelude to Axanar short, was hands down better than anything to come out under the name of Star Trek from Hollywood for such a long time.

[@theloneranger8725]

If you know Star Trek history within the company, you know that Star Trek has always been Paramount's "go to" cash cow. Whenever they have a run of movies bomb at the box office and lose money, they always make another Star Trek movie to recoup their loss. Therefore, they are scared to death whenever ANYTHING threatens this franchise, including the fans, which is why this lawsuit was filed so quickly in response to Axanar. After fifty years, they haven't yet figured out that the fans are the ones funding their little enterprise (sorry for the pun). These fans expect the established quality in Star Trek to be there in the delivered product, and if it is not there, they will create it themselves. Paramount/CBS doesn't know how to deal with that.

[@tnndll4294]

20+ years and CBS/paramount couldn't come-up with anything as interesting as Axanar. Even Mr. Abrams best effort was recycling the Wrath of Khan (which was still great BTW). But yeah, those guys just don't have any IMAGINATION!

I remember Saval's character from Star Trek Enterprise. Back then he was very critical of Starfleets's expansion at their beginning. Now he has seen the fruits of the Federation. And now he has become their staunch ally. Good to see Gary Graham again. Looks like Rick Berman's legacy is still the standard in step with Gene Roddenberrys vision of the future. Good Times.

[@randomlyentertaining8287]

If you're referring to his earliest scenes in Enterprise, I think he was critical of it, not because he saw it necessarily as a bad thing, but because he was worried humans would bite off more than they could chew and be swallowed by another power and he knew the Vulcans, as they were at that time, would likely stand by and let it happen with a shrug and a "Told them so.".

[@davidkelly4210]

It's all about the almighty dollar. 90% of good art, whatever the form, is a labor of love. It usually doesn't make money and even when it does, it's just a nice, unintended side effect. The moment it becomes profit motivated, you get shit. The 10% of good art that is profit motivated always has passion behind it. James Cameron's Titanic for example. A ST movie that is only motivated by money so far as it has bills to pay, will always be better than studio productions provided trained filmmakers are leading the production.

It's nice to see that by this point, the aged Soval was actually sticking up for humans and has a lot of faith in them.

This is what I've been saying to deaf ears for so many years. A Star Trek feature should tell a big screen story, not be an overblown episode of a particular series of the franchise. The tale of Khan and his people on Earth. How Surak saved Vulcan society. Romulan origin and history. The mythology of Kahless done as Klingon opera. Or, as in this case, the battle of Axanar. The prime universe is rich enough with possibilities that you don't need to go into an alternate for "watchable" Trek.

NO what happened was CBS SUED , not allowing the film to be made.. Apparently the fan film genre has stabbed the big fish enough that the Fishermen took the people fishing from shores poles away. Research what happened.

[@marcuswalker3056]

Wango Bango I never knew any of this, don’t you people on the USA have laws against embezzlement of charitable funds? In America ? I’m angry for some reason lol

[@marcuswalker3056]

Wango Bango oh I see I knew it was shut down but not the intricacies of it, law here doesn’t require anyone to file a civil law suite as it’s a criminal offence to spend and or use charitable acquired money for anything els other than the process that’s stated on their paperwork, you need to register your charity or fund raising with the government you see.... he seemed nice in the KZbin interviews I’ve seen, what a horrible man he is, did he get any notoriety in the press? Or anything in the USA? For these clearly sadistic actions ?

[@BobBelson]

the link does not work. i liked prelude to Axenar and i am sorry the movie was not made due to the lawsuit. No ,i did not research further than that, but your post did not mention the suit - it mentioned only a criminal act . Regardless of the issue Why can't people who are so passionate in their quest for others to see the truth as they do use phony names. Don't they realize it makes them look less credible Wango Bango.

Knowing you guys are back in production warms my heart beyond words.

[@MgaTalunanKayo]

I love anything Star Trek. Combining the Roddenberry vision, the story-telling of 90s Trek, and the flashiness of the reboot, Axanar is shaping up to be a well-balanced production!

[@thehandoftheking3314]

CBS could have simply bought this as Axanar Studios and left them to it. Use it as a development system for writers, actors, technicians etc that can be used on other projects later

[@taiwansivispacemparabellum9546]

What a gem Axanar is

[@UnknownUzer]

My god, the writing and acting are so much better here than with The new CBS series. If i won the lottery tomorrow I would spend every dime to get Axanar picked up as official Canon. Great work to the entire crew. Your expertise and love for the Universe shows in the superior quality of your product.

[@TC-vg3pr]

No other fan film I've seen yet has the quality of Axanar. Keep up the great work.

[@img00]

Try Star Trek Continues. Exceptionally well done IMO I was so excited for Axanar when the original 20 minute Prelude came out but I think the resultant battle with CBS, the compromises that were forced on the production, the loss of most if not all of the big names (including the sad death of Richard Hatch) mean that it's only going to be a shadow of what was promised/planned. It's a real shame as these earlier clips looked amazing

I would dearly love to see where this leads. A period of chaos and conflict in the federation, that directly leads to all we know and hold dear. With this kind of quality, it could be magnificent, such a pity studio interests don't care about how good a series they might make, just how it affects their stock prices.

That is a remarkable trailer! These people ARE Vulcans, couldn't you feel it while looking and listening to them? Sent shivers down my spine. This is gonna be an excellent adventure in story-telling, I just know it!

[@MusicLoverCT]

Star trek fan here since I was 5 years old and TOS was on. I have to say I was really drawn in by this scene. So much of what was great about Star Trek was lost in recent movies. There are glimmers there in those movies,but not the depth of story that true Star Trek fans crave. This one scene captures so much in just a few minutes.Cannot wait for the finished product. Good luck to all working on this.. and thank you! :)

[@skye1212]

I want to see Axanar!

[@kathleenhensley5951]

Very thoughtful... a deeper, profoundly philosophical Star Trek and what I fell in love with in the 1960s. It reminds me how much I loved Star Trek, how deeply it influenced my youthful views on many subjects. They would play chess and I'd try to teach myself chess. If they mentioned a star name, I'd look for it on a star map (remember, the internet/astronomy programs didn't exist back then) if they mentioned Milton ..etc...

[@deanlawson6880]

Absolutely Awesome!! I can't wait to see more from Axanar!!

[@simplebott4812]

I just recently found axanar, and after all these years of controversy and bad reboots I had forgotten what actual Trek feels like, the stuff you guys are making really reminded me of those nights sitting in front of that old box TV with my grandparents watching Star Trek. Thank you for this.

[@martinlagrange8821]

30 minutes per episode is HEAPS of time considering how much story telling juice we got out of these three good minutes !

[@volkswag12]

The fact that you guys got Gary Graham is amazing

[@deadscenerecords]

Gary Graham's performance is outstanding (not withstanding the variance of makeup with normal skin tone in the extreme closeup). Really, his acting is stellar! T'Lera comes off as more Romulan in personality to me than Vulcan given her facial expressions and emotional display. I hope Kim Fitzgerald can adopt greater reserve into the character, especially if she is to be someone Soval trusts. I wasn't expecting the game quality of the CGI, but it is beautiful. Just takes getting used to and greater willingness to suspend disbelief. Still, the architecture and scenery are elegant. So is the integration of characters with the scenery. There's clearly a lot of creativity behind the design of the sets and how they pair up with the CGI. I'll credit most of my enthusiasm to Gary's performance in this scene and what sounds like a really good script! Congratulations and thank you for sharing this with us!!

[@0hvist]

Many Vulcans are still struggling to undo the actions that the Romulan Star Empire was covertly pushing for in subverting control over Vulcan from within and making them just a reflection of the Romulans. It was only thanks to the Humans of Starfleet that this ruse was exposed, along with reintroducing what the Vulcans thought was lost: the Kir'Shara that holds the recorded writings and teachings of their prophet Surak.

[@jamerv86]

Which as we have seen the Romulans have infiltrated Vulcan numerous times at different levels. And since this follows from Enterprise, they were even in the highest lever of leadership. Though we didn't see much of the Earth-Romulan war, they would prefer a weaker Federation, not necessarily a destroyed one.

[@dustygrant3043]

Thanks to the makers of this film. The look of it is really professional and awesome. I can't wait to see more!!!!!!!

[@SuperBurgerLord]

Dis gonna be GOOD! It would have been nice if we could have gotten a full length film instead of a couple of shorts, but those shorts are going to be fantastic! Maybe CBS will learn something from this.

***** Alright thank you, can't wait. My friends, family, and I are all looking forward to it.

[@cogit0ergo705]

+Everton Sebben Axanar has the greatest promise to be "Star Trek" as many of us remember it, but IMO one of the most critical aspects will be the acting. The subtlety in Gary Graham's expressions (the glimpse of being taken off-guard when confronted) is something that a non-professional actor might miss doing, which would make the portrayal flat rather that convincing. This is the danger that all fan films have fallen into - that the cast in totality is not professional enough in acting ability. It takes the viewer out of the scene/story as much as a bad logic flaw in the story would and classifies it immediately into a lesser category of "fan-film". Hopefully Axanar does not fall prey to that.

[@timemantis9563]

+X Cel From what I have seen to date, very impressed. Looks like up to par with at least official TV series episodes which is striking a very high bar indeed. Previous fan films have been lacking but watchable. With better studio capabilities and larger budget and insider support within the Trek community, got high hopes for this one so we'll see. So far so good though. Let's hope they keep it going.

[@MrMartechi]

I love how you can see the Temple/Building-Thing from the old star trek movies where kirk brought spock at 0:50. Mount Seleya I think. Details like that make Axanar fit into the rest of the ST Universe!

[@BiblicalThinking]

Wow. Well done. Seems to be the closest thing to real Star Trek that I grew up with, and which came to end when ST: Enterprise went off air.
