Truly Dreadful Film

... View MoreThe film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.
... View MoreThis is a super bad film named Star Trek. The few actors from earlier shows gives you the level what you expect after Start Trek series and films. But the rest... Bad acting. Bad CGIs-means super bad, like made by a 5 years old. Bad photography, really bad camera sets. Bad story-telling and no character developing.It's like made by The Asylum studio but it's not. (Who does not know that studio, they made all the Sharknado films.)I was suffering during the whole film for the higher purpose to tell my honest opinion about it if I already decided to watch despite the signs. For all the real fans who really likes Star Trek universe, this is my last warning: AVOID AT ALL COST.
... View MoreOverall, a great movie, a B movie, but very well done. it was awesome and with a little work would have been an award winning show. still, a great story and i like the direction that it has taken, with intrigue behind the facade of starfleet. The only bad acting was the granddaughter, but she only had 5 minutes total, and she was sweet, so no big deal. Loved the makeup and mask and characters. Captain Alveress was also shaky, which was a surprise, because he is a great actor, and a couple more. Overall, i really lost myself in this film and can't wait for a more mainstream cast and directors, sci-fi part was excellent. Bad to the bone ships. Lots of heart shown in the characters. Chekov was pretty good. The captain of the Renegades, she was awesome.
... View MoreConsidering the budget, I was surprised that "Renegades" works well as part of the broader Star Trek canvas. It also presents an interesting concept that uses well-known references to the franchise in enjoyable ways. And last, it's good to see some well-known characters taking part. Kudos to the tenacity of everyone involved to make this project happen.That said, much in the story is rushed, unfinished or underdeveloped; I felt like the plot was trying too hard to establish a larger story, to the detriment of the story at hand. That shows potential for a series, but left a lot of lingering questions about how we got to the point that the story embarks from. Given the budget I'm not surprised that the dialog and character interaction is awkward, and I suspect a bigger budget with more time to develop characters and rewrite dialog would have made this feel more like a "real" Star Trek episode.The graphics and effects were quite good given the budget. Many scenes however were exaggerated, probably the worst being the battle of Singh and the alien big bad. This is as much a problem with the genre, as I see ridiculous battles that inexplicably play out in the protagonist's favor in too many shows. I don't see that as an excuse, and I hope more thought will be put into cause and effect if the series continue, which I hope it does.
... View MoreI'll first point out you won't find spoilers here. I also did not back this movie, so this won't be a fan-boy review. I am, however, a huge fan of the franchise.The acting in this movie was horrid. Only one or two actors have any chops. The fact that they had to bring in a cast of characters from many other star trek series to lend validity to the branding of the movie tells you a lot. Those they brought in either acted deadpan, or like they had a gun to their heads.The special effects were mostly pretty terrible. A few of the space sequences were worthy of the name Star Trek, but most fall short of the mark.The props and set constructions looked and felt cheap throughout the entire movie.The sound were the famous star trek sounds, but even they sounded tinny and were badly mixed in.The only thing that made me finish this movie, was that it was so terrible I had to see how bad it got before the end.
