Just intense enough to provide a much-needed diversion, just lightweight enough to make you forget about it soon after it’s over. It’s not exactly “good,” per se, but it does what it sets out to do in terms of putting us on edge, which makes it … successful?

Unshakable, witty and deeply felt, the film will be paying emotional dividends for a long, long time.

The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;

One of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.

As I just have finished Shatner's "Star Trek memories" , which is a sincere and lively backstage account of TOS, I was interested to watch this documentary. I got it as a bonus tape with the box release of the six TOS movies. My first surprise was to notice that after 20 years, the tape is still good and that the blur isn't an eye defect but only technology induced!This documentary is as much about TOS than TNG. Kirk and Spock host the show but strangely they don't interact with each other. They tell us about the series, the movies, the fans and space exploration. It has bloopers, interviews, footage, behind the scenes. Thus, if it's deep, it's also superficial because the sequences are on warp speed. Sure, it's also highly positive and too much one-sided (no lines about the conflicts, the feuds, the jealousy, the consuming hard-work, the affairs, the network censorship and cancellation) but at last, Gene Rodenberry has a lasting testimony of his mythic (and not American) vision. And the stars were with him because he still appears fine while he would suffer and die not long after! Even if as a French, Trek never really takes root here (we waited the end of the 80s for TOS!) and I was born as a Jedi, the more years pass, the longer I live and prosper as a Trekkie !
