Others have commented on the poor sound and I have to agree. The movie doesn't seem to have been mastered to a consistent level which makes it difficult to follow and spoils the whole thing.
Before you pass judgement on this, remember, this is fan fiction, it's not a high budget, studio produced movie. The acting is a little wooden in places but enjoyable nonetheless. Fans of the original Star Trek won't be disappointed.
There are sound issues. Often, the music is too loud for the dialogue, much of it has been borrowed from Star Trek - The Motion Picture. Yes, it could have done with much more time being spent on post production. Take this film for what it is. Fan fiction with very little funding. Enjoy it!
As mentioned in other reviews the movie captures Star Trek the oiginal series BUT...the soundtrack and lighting needs work bigtime!
Whomever did the audio for this movie needs to really re-think their profession. The background FX sounds drown out the dialogue. Often to the point of it being un-intellagible. PLEASE FIX THE SOUNDTRACK!!
Also, just as important is the POOR lighting. I fully understand that low light makes things grittier but like most movies over the last 20 years, the lighting is so poor you can't see anything! There seems to be a trend with movies that not being able to see the characters movements and faces has become a sick joke.
I never heard that this movie was even being made. Looking around on YouTube over the last week has found numerous STAR TREK TV shows/movies that never saw the light of day. Thank you YOU TUBE for saving these tasty treats!
A noble effort and yet another reason to be disgusted by what CBS has done to the the Star Trek ideal. Good story, well-casted, and wise to use James Horner's sweeping score. Yes the sound is bad and the effects are not up to current standards, but you've got to appreciate the effort and drive to create a feature length film with "stone knives and bear skins." Not up there with Star Trek Continues, but I hope they will keep exploring this end of the Star Trek universe. They got the tone right.
Yes the sound was a distraction. But is a minor thing considering how good the story is. Brianna Ferris as Lieutenant Lyra is a high point for me, as the details and fanboy details.
id love to see this company get another shot.
