This movie is an example of why the brass at CBS/Paramount have put restrictions on fan based productions. The quality and style of this clip is so much more interesting and fun to watch than what is currently being broadcast by those establishments. Nicely done!

[@Moondog-wc4vm]

As a Star Trek nerd from the early 1970's I have a little complaint.....Oh no, wait I don't! As a purist I find this extremely satisfying! The very early Star Fleet aesthetic is completely convincing, from ship design to uniforms. The CGI is beyond impressive and the physical sets are impressive while still retaining the main design details that I loved as a child. The writing, well I can't find any criticism, it just evokes TOS for me. Some comments have lightly criticised the acting, and while I have a certain amount of sympathy for that I can't truly say any of it was actually bad. Most of it actually far outpaced TOS acting. In my own opinion (and I am not arrogant enough to actually expect anyone else to agree with me) I would happily pay a monthly subscription to be able to stream 10 episodes of this per year ( at this quality ) for at least 5 years, but I'd prefer 7 seasons. I've been less than impressed with some recent official offerings ( while still watching and not completely hating them ) This fan film blew me out of the water, very, very impressive and shows it's deep knowledge of the original I.P. (edited for spelling mistakes)

[@ShrekMeBe]

Funny, was thinking about the same thing about a paying a subscription for more episodes of this quality and type. Nothing substantial as money is quite scarce but ought to help in aggregate from fans worldwide.

[@bryanfogle6672]

He was 19 when the wrote it and 20 when he died. What a literary loss.

[@dgold6891]

@@Paladin1873 Just because Star Trek has always been very secular when it comes to Earth religion.

Yeah. More of a BSG / SG / real world / Enterprise vibe. Honestly, they are probably far enough out of Treksville that they could drop the StarTrek moniker and do their own thing.

The story is good so far as well. Visual effects are very good. Set design is no less than superb, even surpassing some of the movies (imho). I'm hooked. Can't wait for the next release.

[@ShrekMeBe]

After a few re-watches, what turned me off most were the excessive head movements of the commander and the stares of the captain (there's a difference between stare and stern look). Minor things, hope they address them later. Great effort, great result, and fan made!

Aye. The song at the start was actually a musical version of High Flight, by an RCAF pilot (American-born)...

[@allocater2]

Idk the Captain seems quite bad, all he does is complain and sound annoyed.

[@ZemplinTemplar]

Well, people in Star Trek generally do try to be polite, honest and intelligent. That still doesn't make them perfect or infallible. I like that one of the main themes of this fan film is exploring just that, in addition to the topic of various fears and how they influence our thinking, worldviews, and even policies, as a species. The trauma from the war with the Romulans is making the Earth and early Federation leadership (both civilian and military) a little too paranoid for their own good, trying to focus on military and espionage goals all the while pretending they've refocused on scientific exploration. The experiences of acting captain Vandre and her surviving crew clearly point to that tension and how it's actually undermining the ideals of the Federation and Starfleet, rather than making them more resilient and with the times. Rader's revelations to Vandre about the actual intriguing things they found, instead of tiresome espionage and realpolitik, gives a little hope for the upcoming 23rd century, as symbolised by the repaired Pacific 201 jumping to warp at the end of the story...

[@schm00b0]

First, let me just say, well done! I gave it a like almost immediately. I feel actors could use a little more direction and camera could be a little more dynamic. It looks like you have some sets built, so you should use that to move that camera a little or get different angles. The ship is just gorgeous! That first shot of it, when you pan around it - oh, wow! You can see the work that went in it. Kudos to all the actors. You can easily see the effort and passion. Can't wait to see more!

[@bukster1]

Most of the Star Trek fan films I've seen need better lighting and camera work. I can never quite put my finger on what's wrong, just that it doesn't look right. If I went to directing school and learned how to set shots up, I'd probably be able to see how to correct it. This fan film does better than most. The camera work could be better, but at least I'm not looking at it and thinking that they've put a lot of work into this just to mess it up with the camera work.

[@tehs3raph1m]

@@bukster1 it looks like a lot of shots are green screen, they are incredibly hard to get right, also it looks like they are shot at 50 or 60fps which gives a very weird look called the "soap opera effect" Also the soundstage needs work in some shots. I may try to rework them myself, the talking while at the beach early on sounds like they are recorded in a small office, the footsteps in the opening sequence and the chair creaks sound small and not wide as they should. But then in other scenes, the CGI is amazing and the audio is back to being too notch. My favourite sound effect is the door, which is clearly someone going pssssshhhwwwww into a mic it's great!!

[@Allinfun6789]

The camera work did not bother me as much as poor sound editing. There are some really great sound effects, the door opening and closing is not one of them. The actor's voices sound puny/tinny and there is an echo on the set. They need to do a better job with the sound mix. The captain's voice is high tenor speaking range needs to lower a few tones.

[@henrytjernlund]

Dialogue could be tighter too. People, especially in a crisis, don't always talk in full grammericly correct sentences.

[@MasterSandman]

I agree! More direction is especially needed with the actor's energy-levels in stressful situations. The way the XO was hanging from the shuttle was kinda wooden and when she was dragged aboard, she didn't quite react like she was just hanging from the side of a shuttle by her hands, high above a desintegrating planet... But the visuals are awesome! All in all, not too bad indeed! Looking forward to the next part. Live long, prosper and boldly stay where you've been the last several months... your home! 😁

[@hadleymanmusic]

For real speech too slow

[@tedwardfox]

Okay. There are basically two kinds of Star Trek fan videos: there are the ones featuring teens who cannot act, in stories that are not plausible and that use green screened backgrounds and almost zero as far as props. Those generally use the same effects of sparking explosions inside the bridge that would either kill people or at lease scorch a lot of things. They are barely watchable. Then, there are the professional productions that have actual sets, use people who are right for their roles, and have very good-to-great special effects. This one falls into that second category. It is a real pro job. Certainly, the acting and delivery of lines can use some fine tuning, but this is an enjoyable production. I look forward to the next part(s) and wish the mercenary bean counters at CBS and/or Paramount would climb back off their high horses and allow these quality extensions to Star Trek of go ahead without constrictions. Great job Pacific 201 team. Please, keep it up.

Really? I thought the Captain could be recast. He was not authoritative enough, and kind of stilted on his delivery in an emergency situation. The rest of the cast seemed quite young, maybe this was a cadet ship? The effects and camera angles were top notch though.

@@theslicefactor4590 They use most anyone who wants to join. They probably audition to some level, but they cannot pay people to act, and often the crew is a bunch of people who WANT to act in star trek and so they make their own. My guess is that they are focusing on the craft (speaking clearly, hitting the marks, etc) and that is pulling a bit from the "honesty level" of the acting. Which, frankly...

Bcoz they r not prof.actors i think.since dis is made by fans the actors r also those fans stard in it

[@jasonnickerson5705]

Star trek continues grew into something wonderful. Things like this will also in time. Bravo

[@fritzk3627]

Agreed. Ooph

[@jason-composer]

Methinks just a bit more space between line deliveries could sell the characters considering their next move instead of propelled through the script; but yeah not professional actors and that's okay lol

[@rossydv]

Ship design is the best I’ve ever seen in Trek. A+++

[@bimmerboard]

Wow! What a great production! Terrific sets, costumes, effects, writing and acting. Can’t wait to see more.

[@leonsantana3646]

Thank the gods, I'm so glad to see this video being released

[@iowanforjustice5656]

Very good. I think this is a very good fan film. They put real efforts in this. How do you read the rank insignias and patches and badges. Wow the ship looks Iike a real model! Impressed! Very impressed!

[@bisharj]

Awesome! Enough can't be said about fan productions that keep the spirit of Star Trek alive, well done!!! 👍👍

[@jpasby779]

Great job on EP01. Been partly looking forward to this after seeing the stunning CG work put together before this. The acting is good too.

Nice space glasses. She must be allergic to Retinax 5...

[@bdellazzana]

maybe she just likes retro stuff

[@DWNicolo]

Could be they don't have Retinax 5 yet, this does take place 40 years after the Earth Romulan War, but before the Original Series.

[@robertcampbell6349]

More like Retinax 2.

[@lillyanneserrelio2187]

@Justin Ebanks or cuter. Some guys dig the librarian/ school girl look. I know my BF does 😜

[@Z1gguratVert1go]

Retinax might be for correcting the stiffness older people get in their lenses, which causes far-sightedness. Might not have anything to do with myopia (near-sightedness). She's too young to need reading glasses.

[@lauscho]

Oh my goodness. This was far, far, FAR above what I expected. PLEASE continue the project. I'm officially a huge fan now.

[@dpledford1]

You can tell people who love Star Trek have put this together! Thank you for telling an interesting story!

[@craigslater9380]

This is absolutely top notch and a shining example of what can be done in spite of any restrictions imposed by a higher order! Great special effects, believable characters and non stop action and drama! This classic Star Trek fan gives this production a standing ovation! Bravo!!

[@clocat7825]

Ohhhhh, it's finally here! This is beautiful work and I'm super excited for part 2. Well done EC Henry.

[@cwtnc]

Excellent! A superb job.

[@splashmummy]

The ship aesthetics are incredible in this. Both in design and execution. Amazing work. The environments are extremely well done also. Very impressive CGI work, not just for a fan film but by any standard.

[@stephensmith6660]

I am loving this. Thanks for bringing it to us.

[@BenoitLamarche]

Who-hoo! You guys did it. Beautiful! Can’t wait for the next installment!
