I'll just leave this here.......

wow!

Star Fleet Battles on the big screen

[Lily from animove]

looks quite interesting

[Rebas Kradd]

Intrigued, but it's going to be slow going with the kind of budget they're talking about.

[Greyhart]

you know I never really knew about the fan made star trek stuff.

Some of it (from what I can tell at work) looks really well produced.

Hopefully the licence holders remain sensible and allows this stuff to continue.

Is the film going to be documentary/interview too? Because I really dislike that format.

Meh. There's reasons I don't watch television anymore. The reality television interview talking head blah blah format is the biggest one.

Apparently the full movie will be in traditional narrative format! Yay!

actually, that "reality television" is far away from reality, and its level of niveau is so low, of course its ******. But serious documentaries, they often have a similar style, + a good niveau. They make stuff entertaining.

But in the end it will be star trek about a war, so we gonna see a laod of ships blowing up, just because thats what brings in visitors..

As long as it doesn't show the Frackin Enterprise being built in Iowa. I hope Abrams gets ****** cancer for that one.

I can't like that post enough. Abrams and his Star Trek films can go back to the rotting pit they came out of.

It is definitely a well made video-documentary, that is for sure, but I never was a big Star Trek fan; Babylon 5 is more to my liking.

I like both, Babylon 5 was actually less about science and more about fiction, it also had moe political stuff involved than Star Trek where most things were single encounter isolated episodes. Thats what I liked mst about Babylon 5 the one long story it actually had.

Star Trek has a Babylon 5 installment! It was called Deep Space Nine, I highly recommend it.

But there was no real mainplot, it was most of the time still just isolated stories. Voyager was probably the most one with a rough common thread, yet also quite many isolated stories with it. So except from both being space stations there wa not that much in common by the way they were made.

Irony being what it is, I skimmed the clip in OP and spotted Tony Todd. He played Captain Anderson in Babylon 5: A Call to Arms.

I haven't liked any of the fan produced knock offs I've seen. Fan made star wars/trek is usually unimaginative, generic, and too afraid to step outside the shadow of whatever series they're emulating.

Although I have to say, fan produced stuff like this is great.

WAT. You must never have watched it. DS9 is universally acknowledged to have been the most serialized Trek of all, except for Season 3 of Enterprise.
