Star Trek as Oral History
I'm a historian with a focus on the Space Program, the Cold War and WWII. I have gotten to interview people involved with the great events of the 20th Century from landing at Normandy to working on the Saturn V that took men to the moon. The Oral History is a great way to explore a major event to get the personal perspective. The creators of this short film did an excellent job using this type of format to set up the coming feature film, The Battle of Axanar. You meet the key players for Starfleet while Kharn provides his perspective as the military commander of the Klingons. These are distinct individuals who help paint the picture of what Axanar meant to them. This was a high-quality professional project financed by the fans of Star Trek. In this case it proved to be the best of both worlds as this is just a taste of what is to come with The Battle of Axanar. Qapla!
Authentic Trek
Prelude to Axanar is the first real piece of Star Trek to come out since the penultimate episode of Star Trek: Enterprise 10 years ago. It has a great trek-worthy storyline and magnificent acting, and the special effects are great! I also greatly enjoyed the numerous "easter eggs" hidden throughout the film. The quality is nothing like Star Trek: Into Darkness, which was just a mindless action flick intended for today's unenlightened audience. Prelude to Axanar is a thought-provoking Star Trek that visionary Gene Roddenberry himself would have been proud of. The fact that Prelude to Axanar is an independent production (commonly referred to as a fan film) did not derail the production at all. The teams at Axanar Productions did a fantastic job of making the movie just as good, if not even better than, any "professional" production, and I have that in quotations because this was made professionally just like any other movie. I highly recommended watching Prelude to Axanar, which is only twenty minutes long. See for yourself whether or not you like it. It's free and extraordinary; you'll love it.
Prelude to Axanar....Excellent!
Leaves the viewer begging for more! Can't wait to see the completed film! Casting for Prelude is superb, and the main feature promises even MORE!! Sets, graphics, and premise, are thoroughly thought out, as you would expect from the individuals involved. CBS/Paramount...be warned! There is a new force behind Star Trek...WE!..THE FANBASE...and we will not be pawned off with your drivel anymore! Alternate timelines are fine for attracting new moviegoers, but you have a tried, and true, band of followers for Trek...since 1966 (I'm one!), and stories from canon are legend. Prelude brings Garth back to our screens...and not before time! Alec and his crew of geniuses have achieved a minor miracle, here....a movie that makes this old Trekkie sit up, and take notice of something new, special..nay, magical! Waiting for the feature, Tiny!
Everything that JJ Abrams failed to accomplish.
This film is what Star Trek was meant to be. On a Q&A panel the director and producer explained that as they made this film they kept asking themselves "Would Gene Roddenberry Do This?" and they made it true to Gene and true to Star Trek fans. I like how they've used the 2009 ships' models and phaser mounts while fixing the exaggerated ship size and ridiculous out of proportion engines. Its wise to maintain some recognizable features from the latest films. On the other hand I would have liked to have seen the Fleet HQ, Dreadnought, Destroyer and Transport/Tug from the 1975 Star Trek Technical manual. Or even the Klingon Battleship from the '90's Task Force Games Star Fleet Battles. This arms race could have been "bigger" but I see how that would have taken away from their " We were explorers" vein they are pursuing and their unveiling of the Constitution Class. Which is very cool. Where JJ Abrams has turned Star Trek into an unintelligent, mass appeal action romp these guys succeed in bringing it back to its roots and I couldn't be more impressed or eager to share it with my friends who really care about Sci Fi. I can't wait for the feature film.
Independent Star Trek At It's Best!! Watch It, Join It!
What's amazing is not that it is such a wonderfully produced, well acted, and beautifully shot film (which it certainly is). It's that it was done with loving care on a budget of less than what probably most TV ads cost nowadays to make. The producers, director, actors, cgi/special effects, photography director, and crew are all long time Hollywood professionals. They made an independent short film on their own terms, visualizing the Star Trek universe as they see it. Which seeing the support they're receiving from the fan base, I'd say they've succeeded. I gave it a 9/10 only because I wish it was longer, Ha. I guess I'll have to wait for the movie....Star Trek: Axanar!
