Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.

I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,

Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.

Worth seeing because of Shatners bizarre "interview" with Avery Brooks. This surpasses most of what I have seen with regard to absurdities. First Shatner and Brooks engages in some sort of word-game or word-duel where they "challenge" each other. Then Brooks sets himself at the piano and with a "mad" facial expression, he comes up with a melody to which both Brooks and Shatner try to "improvise" lyrics. Both at the same time. Truly strange. About the same caliber as Shatner's version of "rocket man".

My comment has to do with the accuracy of a very important name - that of the new Captain Kirk. The actor's actual name is Chris Pine (not Pike); the author confused his name with the character of the original captain on Enterprise Captain Chris Pike in the 2009 movie. Please correct this. As to the film itself; it was delightful, quirky and very much like William Shatner himself in all his charming and endearing ways. I was happy to see him be so nice to young Chris Pine who is a very good actor and who surprised me as being able to take on the iconic role created by Mr. Shatner. I loved his interview with Sir Patrick Stewart and the revelation that Mr. Shatner came to after listening to Sir Patrick. All the interviews brought out something unique in each actor.

If you love Star Trek you will forgive the meandering route this documentary takes, if you are not a fan you will see this as an overindulgent preoccupation of Mr. Shatners one true love... Himself and his impending mortality!There are truly some heart felt conversations with Patrick Stewart and Scott Bakula regarding the long hours put in and the disintegration of their respective marriages. Scott Bakula seems like a really nice guy who is grounded, he understands the life he has chosen and is grateful for the opportunities given to him, although if I'm honest Enterprise comes second to his success in Quantum Leap.There is straight talking from Kate Mulgrew whom sees the world from a female perspective in a male dominated industry. I'm not sure Bill got the best out of Kate Mulgrew as I have seen her in other interviews and she was more upbeat and less preoccupied with gender related commentary! I suppose that could be down to the editing, context and questions posed by Mr. Shatner... The Chris Pine segments are purely incidental, you can't help feeling that William Shatner feels a little embittered at the fact he is in his twilight years and would gladly exchange his position with Pine for another throw of the dice.Poor old Avery Brooks, this poor chap seems to have lost his marbles! Either his interviews were edited to make him look completely unbalanced or this guy really has taken leave of his senses. Some parts of the interviews with Avery were a little uncomfortable as he just grins like a lunatic and plays the piano rather than respond to simple questions.Patrick Stewart always comes across in a quiet and considered manner. There were times you could clearly see he was emotional, however he never comes across as bitter or anything other than a dignified true professional.I have mixed emotions when It comes to William Shatner in this documentary, in parts he reveals emotional content about himself & you feel empathy, for instance the part where he says he fears death! In other parts you feel there is narcissistic tendencies which smother the other interviewee's What you can take away from this is that all the Captains worked extremely hard in their respective roles and there was a toll paid by each of them. William Shatner seems quite reflective in places and yet self focused in others (not completely unexpected). Of the five Captains interviewed you wouldn't hesitate to ask Patrick Stewart & Scott Bakula out to lunch, because from this disjointed venture you get the feeling they were the most articulate individuals who have the ability to talk about themselves and you would still like to listen.

This is not the documentary you are expecting to see. Yes, there is convention footage. Yes there are some "behind the scenes" anecdotes. Yes there are some clips from the episodes and movies.No, this is not a retrospective of the cultural wallpaper of Star Trek.This is an introspective journey into the actors' lives. Into their experiences. Into their observations. Into their souls.And here's the biggest surprise. William Shatner set out to do one thing and did another. (At least that's how it looks in the film.) It looked like Shatner wanted to dig into the other Captains and make each of them admit something or reveal something or discover something. And it was a journey of self discovery *for William Shatner.From the interviews, you will see how strength can be found from within for life. Not just being an actor, and definitely not just being an actor on Star Trek.I can't say any more without getting dry or revealing spoilers. All I can say is this is a documentary for everyone. I don't care if you're a fan of Star Trek or not. I don't care if you're a fan of William Shatner or not. I don't care if you're an actor or not. Are you a human being? Then see this film. You will be better for it.
