Starship Exeter: The Tressaurian Intersection

Not since the original Star Trek have I seen anything that comes this close to the spirit, look and feel of the original. "Starship Exeter: The Tressaurian Intersection" is the real deal, folks! I think it goes without saying that the acting, direction, effects, original score, set design, videography, etc. are WAY beyond what you may have seen before in a "fan" film. But one of the things that really impresses me is something that is often overlooked or poorly done: the sound mix. Try "watching" "SE:TTI" by only listening to the sound... you will really get an appreciation for the professional and meticulous attention to detail in this area. Sound is so important to drawing in the audience to a story, and "SE:TTI" especially shines in this department.

After seeing the opening scene and credits I am convinced that Starship Exeter is Trek reborn. Watching Exeter gives me that same feeling that I got when I saw TOS for the first time back in the 60's. I can't wait for the rest of the episode and hope to see more episodes from this group and other fan film makers.

Starship Exeter: The Tressaurian Intersection is the second episode from the Exeter group. The first being The Savage Empire premiered in 2002. Exeter takes place after the episode of the original Star Trek Episode "The Omega Glory." That crew fell to a deadly disease that killed that entire crew but the captain who was arrested by captain Kirk for violating the prime directive. The current crew under captain Garovick is the replacement crew after the disease was removed from the Exeter.

Although, I am not a huge Star Trek fan or Trekkie living in my parents basement and have to admit I did not want to watch this episode. But my friend asked me to give it a try and I will admit that I did enjoy watching this episode. The sets were really well done as were the costumes. Furthermore, the acting improved greatly especially after viewing the first episode. In addition, I viewed a short clip of James Culhane showing the set of the bridge and it is very impressive set. The time and effort they put in really pays off, which left me with a feeling of wanting more. I do hope there is more to come very soon. Plus, I think Holly Guess is really hot in those nice short uniforms.

The second of two web films about the Starship Exeter and this one is much better than the first one!

Mind-blowing attempt at re-creating a 60s TV series! So sad that I never even knew this existed until 2022 when it just appearing in a Youtube search one night! Better late than never!

Despite a lack of acting experience, the guy playing the Captain does some really solid acting and the viewer can just imagine someone like him commanding a Starship. So many Star Trek web films fail in the acting department but that problem does not exist here!

Great music cues which sound like the old series but are different.

The sets are amazing, the story is compelling and you walk away from this wanting more! Sadly, we don't get more from this group of people but in 2013 another gang made a more lengthy web series - Star Trek Continues (eleven episodes) - that should keep Exeter fans happy.

This is for fans of the original Star Trek. The sets, cut scenes, special effects, and story are well done but the acting is underwhelming and the camera work/lighting questionable at times. If you enjoyed the original Star Trek, I think you'll enjoy this, especially if you've already watched Star Trek Continues and you're looking for some more stories.
