This would be an easy five stars had there been more bonus features or extra content to set it apart from the old release. I'd still recommend buying it if you're at all interested, though.
Like most documentaries, there isn't anything terribly groundbreaking in the way of effects, cinematography, or editing, but the subject matter is what carries "Trekkies" and other documentary films into the mainstream. And there's plenty to work with here. The film hops from conventions where people pay thousands of dollars for prosthetics used on the show, to a dentist's office run as a starship, to the basement of a young teenager who is preparing his new outfit for a convention. These fans live, eat, and breathe Star Trek, referring to themselves by "ship assignment" (fan-club designation) and rank. For the most part, the movie remains respectful of these people, but when anyone goes this over-the-top, it's difficult to deal with this kind of subject matter and keep an entirely straight face. Yes, normal human beings might consider them psychotic, but not any more so than other people get about religion, or politics, or actresses and actors (and, to date, there has never been a violent episode involving deranged Star Trek fans that I can think of).
The film rounds itself out with interview of most of the cast of the original series and the Next Gen, including an excellent interview with Whoopi Goldberg (Guinan) about how Lt. Uhura inspired her to pursue an acting career. But the "stars" are the fans, and the lengths to which they go in their fan-dom.
The DVD presentation is a fullscreen 1.33:1 aspect ratio with a standard 2.0 stereo soundtrack. The transfer is acceptable, reminiscent of other documentaries like "American Movie" and "The Atomic Café." There are zero extras to speak of, except for a trailer (yippee). It's a niche movie, though, and even fans of Star Trek will want to watch this before they buy it. It doesn't exactly lend itself to repeat viewing, so try to track a copy down first before buying it "blind."

This documentary is a peek inside the universe of the Star Trek Fan (I believe they refer to themselves as "Trekkers" and not "Trekkies"), directed by Denise Crosby, who performed in the first two seasons of "Star Trek: The Next Generation."
Particularly noteworthy are the dentist and his wife whose dental office is made up like "Star Fleet Dental" (very original - if I lived in Florida, I would go there). The dentist and his dental assistant wife wear Star Fleet uniforms as they work on your mouth, and the dental office is filled with Star Trek paraphernalia. Also worthy of note is the Klingon language school, where people go to learn how to say "Ka-Plagh!" with the right intonation and spirit. They're serious about it, too. No "la plume de ma tante" stuff for these folks. I didn't see whether or not they ate live Gagh (worms), though. I wouldn't put it past them, these folks are dedicated.
God bless them all, every obsessive one. Blue-skinned and scaley-skinned and in and out of uniform. And may they all be reincarnated on the planets of their choice. Make it so.
What I love about this documentary isn't so much the way they depict Star Trek uber fans. It's the way they show how important the fans are to the actors.
Star Trek is not a 1 way street. It's not a bunch of super fans who obsess over actors who barely know the fans are alive. Star Trek actors have a personal connection with Trek fans. And in this documentary they open up about that connection in some very personal ways. From Nichelle Nicoles (Uhura) talking about how Martin Luther King talked her out of leaving the series due to her impact on the civil rights movement to James Doohan (Scotty) talking with tears in his eyes about how he had personal correspondence with a suicidal fan who ended up living because she found community among Trek fans. And everyone else in the many series seems to genuinely care about the fans of the show. You just don't see that with actors of other shows/movies.
Top reviews from other countries

After seeing this 87 minute documentary, you may really wonder whether some of these people interviewed by Denise Crosby really has a life. [Also wondering with all that stuff they bought, whether any is worth it!]
Includes another 20 minutes of an interview and a trailer.
