1.0 out of 5 stars Maverick's ripoff of the STAR TREK TV series, November 28, 2009

MAVERICK ENTERTAINMENT has really improved their special effects of late. Unfortunately, the rest of the parts of their "films" continue to be worse than what you see high school students produce. In this "epic", a crew of 7 (the unshaven captain, his ex-wife the doctor, a Sulu wannabee, his wannabee girl friend, Wolfman Jack the Klingon, some armed Klingon psycho who keeps shooting up the ship, and some bald white guy who only shows up on the ship when the other 6 are busy elsewhere) pilot a thousand foot long space ship on a trip to contact the living oil well that controls all life. After they do this, they have a cliff-hanger ending. Just so the audience gets what's going on, STAR TREK lettering is used for all of the credits. Obvioudly the start of a franchise..

1.0 out of 5 stars Worthless in every possible way, May 18, 2010

Stay away. This is worthless except for a few laughs. The plot is nonexistent; the dialog is stilted and often makes no sense. Acting, cinematography, editing, music, CGI, effects: all very poor. There are no interesting ideas or surprises which might partially redeem the film. Overall, comparable to the worst (1960's) Star Trek episode which has been re-edited by a monkey (with extra cliches added) and then filmed on a $10.00 budget.

I'm not trying to be harsh; I am an amateur filmmaker myself. I am sure these folks spent a lot of time on this movie. For a free download, it would be fine. However, it did not deserve distribution and certainly is not worth purchasing for $20+.

We rented this from Blockbuster because we thought that if Blockbuster offered it, it must be somewhat presentable.
However, this movie is trash. It could have been made by high-school or college kids. The acting, writing, and special effects are atrocious. I think the whole thing was just a scam: some company made a movie as cheaply as possible and wanted to make some money off of it.

The special effects are worse than the original Star Trek, which it attemps to imitate. Every character is a copy of Star Trek crew.
That said, the thing is so bad that it is actually pretty funny to watch.

There are apparently only seven people on a gigantic ship. When the captain gets up from his bed, we see the planet shake up and down from outside the window. A "distress beacon" was, as the communications officer discovers upon further investigation, actually a "lure beacon". Many more absurdities abound.
