A pretty decent watch, nicely shot, decently acted, well directed, pretty well thought out, and tense and tragic without being miserable and gritty. Give it a go.
I didn't really have any expectations for this show- but it's fantastic. A lot like Futurama, but with absolute permission to use anything and everything Star Trek branded. It's funny, it's clever, it's diverse, and it's nostalgic. I'm really happy that someone realised Star Trek has historically been a fun show despite tackling more serious topics, and not every modern reboot needs to be unwatchably gritty, because this show is brilliant. My only real complaint about it is that the episodes feel like everyone is talking at double speed- as if they wrote a few too many pages of dialogue and everyone has to talk really fast to get through it in the allocated number of episode minutes. This makes it extremely difficult for me to follow, and I can only imagine people with auditory processing issues are going to miss the vast majority of the dialogue. I'd love to see, in season 2, a few pages cut from the script so that the actors can be directed to take just a mite longer to read their lines and it doesn't feel so rushed!
This film was bizarre. Weirdly, the entire thing was an overdub- and probably would have worked slightly better had they thrown out the footage and just animated it! There's very little in the way of plot, the ending felt kind of thrown together, and the voice acting- as it is voice acting- is a little over acted for a live action film. I can only assume that their location sound was too bad to retain, but the overdub really doesn't sit well with the film- it's overloud, and there's no ambient sound. Most of the scenes have no real purpose. It's not the worst indie film I've ever seen, though. I got through it, and I even laughed out loud a couple of times, although sadly over things I don't think were supposed to be funny! If you like The Room, you'll probably enjoy this.
