- Ambush: A Star Trek Fan Production introduces you to a new ship and crew that exist in the Star Trek Universe, The USS Ambush. Set just after the events portrayed in "Balance of Terror", the original series episode. By focusing on a single away mission to rescue a captured Commander, "Ambush" will shed some light on how the Federation dealt with the Romulans, after the initial incident involving Kirk and The Enterprise. As you'll discover in the film, the crew of the "Ambush" are a very unique and specialised group of people, who would always be the first choice to deal with a delicate matter such as the Romulans. Although the crew's existence is well known to the Federation, they're not keen on their existence being bragged about. The name of their ship is not the only thing controversial about this crew.

The Dave Cullen Show recommended this film to us as he thought it was extremely well done. He was right! Thank you.
Easily pleased, good for you.
the hand to hand combat scenes were pretty good; high above the expectations from a fan film. Congrats
I cannot tell you how impressed I was with this production. Usually in these things the acting is sub-par, causing me occasional eyerolls and snickers. Not this time, everyone was brilliant in their character portrayal and very professional, kudos to all! Special effects were amazing, as was camera work, fight sequences, makeup, direction, editing, you name it. My only negative comment is that the design of the uniforms didn't do it for me, but that is a matter of opinion and everyone has their own preferences. Please make more!
AND the written dialog is excellent !
Very natural acting. Great effects and production values. Good story.
Jolan tru. Finally a fan film that portrys the Romulans well! I have been a Romulan fan since the 70's and this, this was great!!!!!!!
The Romulans were seen to be ready to make peace with the Federation in Star Trek: Nemesis so that means the only villain alien species left are the Dominion and the Borg and the Cardassians who joined forces with the Dominion. I don’t believe Odo would ever turn against the Federation even though he joined the great link.
I must say the phaser and disruptor effects were extremely good, and I even include comparing the official shows. It feels very 'punchy' and authentic from how I imagine firing one must look and feel in the hand. The shuttles looked near show quality too and the nacelle jettison feature is a cool original idea! Now I really hope to see a ship-to-ship battle at some point. Your combat scenes here were genuinely well shot and fought; seeing that extended to a space battle would undoubtedly be impressive.
Thanks for that, those were definitely elements we took pride in and very proud of the engine jettison moment. The biggest regret though is definitely not having a space battle though.

You guys knocked it out of the box with this. The acting, costumes, special effects, CGI, only 20min long, loved it.
This was so much fun to watch. I will bug the crap out of you until you make a sequel. :)
Well done everyone, I know how hard it is to make these things, and especially how to make them this well. Congratulations on a job very well done. :)
If they do make a sequal, bug them to let me do any vo's needed.
I'm only up the road, and need something to do between grissom episodes. :D
Thanks Nick, means a lot. Bug away!!!! ;-)
A sequel would be excellent.
High praise by the legendary Nick Cook himself (of Star Trek Intrepid fame). And totally deserved. Keep up the good work!
Great show everyone, I was glued to the screen for all 20:34, including the credits. Please make more. The plot was fantastic and very believable. Good acting and special effects. Keep up the great work.
my god this is so good. A cub as captain? that's interesting...
Loved the romulans! In general really nice, you trekkies sure are a resilient bunch, making fan stuff in the spirit of the good trek despite current trek being what it is.
Thas was outstanding! A very action-packed story, great stunts, very good make-up, good acting, excellent CGI and wonderful sets. Thank you very much for putting so much effort into this film. I'd like to see more from you. All the best wishes for the future. Keep on trekking! 🖖
Thanks, all came together in the end.

The best fan film to date. I will await more episodes!
Awesome ship! Great phaser battles and fights. A very enjoyable 20 minutes. Looking forward to sequel!
Given the fine comments already provided, it's difficult to add to the stellar reviews.
I will call this one of the top Star Trek fan films produced. Right in line with Axanar.
Oh, dude, this was great! A really quick, engaging story with intrigue, danger, and drama. Of course, Captain Maddox forgot that the Romulans already had a "test sample" for some days or weeks in the commander, and then in himself with the blood he left behind! Oh, that ending leave me wanting more. I really, really hope you get to film and/or release the sequel soon! Also, the acting and makeup, the fight sequences, the vfx... Incredible work. I love the idea of a crew of specialized operatives that go out and do these surgical extract/intel missions.
And yay for me recognizing the voice cameo by Intrepid's Nick Cook!
Thanks, ah but is there something special about Maddox that the Romulans want? That's the question. Gotta love a Nick Cook voice cameo!!!!
WELL DONE! and we need that sequel...
EXCELLENT!!!....
I love this very professional Fan-film! Great job easing the transition between Enterprise and TOS Pike era. I have questions, but maybe they'll be answered in the next film.
I'd like to have heard a Captain's Log or short briefing why they're using TOS phasers instead of something similar to Discovery/TOS Pike era. I'd also like a closing log (or intro to the next film) swearing everyone to secrecy that Romulans have pointed ears to be consistent with TOS.
Wow. Fantastic job :) I loved it, I am a Romulan at heart :)
Thanks, yep, love the Romulans too.
Well done, people. Kudos to you all. You put in some serious hard work on this. Thank you.
Extraordinary. One of the better Fan films I have seen. I cannot wait to see what you cook up next!
Thanks, means a lot.
This was EXCELLENT in all of the ways we HOPE for in Fan-Fic Trek !
Well _done_ - THANKS !
You did well! . . . great effects! . . . The only criticism is => from what I recall = Vulcans and Romulans have a shared ancestry and that being the case = Romulans would have the same strength = 3xs that of a human. So the humans would have had to have a much harder time physically and rely more on wit and strategy and weapons. Still good - all things considered.
Thank you Drew and well noticed. The idea that we were trying to convey was that the Romulans were “playing” the humans as part of a larger plot and to gather intelligence. Hence the 2 lines in the last scene, “we gave them a good show” and “I need to know how he fights”, they were basically pulling their punches. However, the Romulan was able to keep getting up after numerous phaser stun hits when chasing them, indicating his triple strength.
Now, that was entertaining! The story moved along nicely, and love seeing the antagonists so war-like, petty, and vindictive. This shows us what the fans could have gotten with the 5th season of ENT. Kudos to the creators! ;)
When will it end? When we run out of space..... very profound!
Oh my word this is so good! Everything about it worked so well. I hope there are possibilities of more to come.
Bravo!
OUTSTANDING!!!!!!! No other words guys.
Thanks, means a lot.
Very well done! Thanks for this.
I really enjoyed this! Thank you!
i hope they do more.
A brilliant final product. Such a privilege to work with so many talented individuals!! You awesome bunch!!
Best presentation of this sort I've seen . VERY well done 👍!
This looks great Guys!
Excellent! Hope to see more. Good job.
I must say that this is one of the finest Fan Films I have seen. That acting, plot and production is just as good, if not better, than anything done in Hollywood. BRAVO!
Not bad. Plus I think the long haired female Romulan was cute. 🥰
Very well done!! Bout time for seat belts.and realistic cockpit sounds..But, please remix at 11: 15 ( WAY too loud)..also why jettison both engines? only one was hit.
Thanks Andy, a very question indeed. There was some deleted lines of dialogue suggesting the “good” engine was being overheated taking on the strain. However, in the end there was some artistic license I guess. I ultimately really like the imagery of the space shuttle jettisoning both engines and wanted to emulate some of that.
@@ambushastartrekfanproducti3718 very good point (s). Thanks!
@@ambushastartrekfanproducti3718 I give you one more reason why. Aerodynamics. More tension on one side can cause rotation
Marvelous fun! Thanks so much for your hard work and brilliant story!
Thanks, happy to put out our contribution to the fan film world.
"Incredible" Excellent, Thank You
I have to say I had high expectations....and they were fulfilled
This was very nicely done. The actors were committed to giving believe performances. Technically, the production works and SFX were excellent, Technically like phasers and disruptors and model work. The hand combat scenes were coordinated, but the butter knives the Romulans used were laughable. A touch of classic Trek in Captain and Doctor's dialogue. Doctor " I am a Doctor, not a Barmaid." Captain:You would do same for me." Overall 8 out of 10 rating.
Wow! Outstanding! Another fan made grand slam 🙂🖖
Thank you very much. This (my second time watching) is very good. Much better than that stuff that the networks put out. Thanks again.
Bravo to all involved.
Wow!! What a fab job by everyone involved. It must have taken ages!!! When's the next one?🖖👍
Thanks, certainly seemed to take an eternity!
Well done! Live long and prosper.
Very well done---Bravo!!!
Thanks.
Pretty darn good! Nice work!
Thanks Josh, means a lot. Loving the Avalon films too!!!!
@@ambushastartrekfanproducti3718 I just watched this film again. And I love it! It definitely IS a Fan Film Done Right!
Well produced guys 👍. Just watched 'Balance of terror'. Then this. Brilliant production. ☺️
This was truly amazing! I loved every minute of it. It was so well done. The production design is awesome. I loved the nod to continuity with the re-worked Klingon Disruptors. The graphics were awesome, and the acting was really good. The story was super-effective. It’s indicative of amazingly good plot development that you were able to deliver so effective a piece In under 22 minutes. You made movie magic here, doubt it not. This film has two wonderful things going for it: it looked effortless on the part of the people who made it, and impossible to duplicate. You guys made an amazing film. I want to know what happens next!
Thanks for the very kind words, means a lot. Glad the little nods to the established continuity didn’t go unnoticed.
This was AWSOME! great job!!!
Congratulations on making this film!
Thanks Nathan.
I tend to be somewhat cynical when it comes to fan films, but this one was excellent. Good acting, production values. Well done.
pretty cool well done
I hope there is more to come. This was excellent. Top notch. Thanks so much
Impressive and enjoyable!
I do have two questions/notes, though, if I may...
1) The purple/magenta phasers; was there a specific reason for that hue of the energy? (Definitely could be wrong, but don't remember that color from Fed (hand) weapons before.)
2) USS... Ambush. Not gonna lie, that name doesn't sound very Starfleet =p
Thank you. So to answer your questions... the purple/magenta phaser beams was a bit of artistic license I admit. I wanted to design our own phaser beams and wasn’t to keen on the pale blue beams of the original series. We decided early on that the Romulans would have green beams and felt that the colour we went for was a nicer contrast. As for the Ambush name, you’re absolutely right, not very starfleet/federation. We wanted a name that was “edgy” and somewhat controversial. I looked at names of real British Navy Submarines for ideas and came across the HMS Ambush, which I really liked, so that was the namesake.
@@ambushastartrekfanproducti3718 "A nice contrast to the green Romulan..." Wait, Green. Purple. Are you a Babylon 5 fan?
Nice story. Great production value
Brilliant work, really looking forwards to the next part. Fantastic job all round. :)
Thanks, we'll have to see about a next part.
🖖😎👍Very cool and very nicely well done indeed and very nicely executed in every way and every detail and form provided for sure indeed 👌.
Very Nicely Done!!! I hope we get to see many more and a chance to get to know the characters better. I thought there was bit more of Ancient Rome in some of the characters maybe around the time of Caliguia which how I just love the Romulians to be portrayed.
This is like getting a
Full Slab of BBQ
on a Burger King budget.
Thank you.
Wow, this was really well done!
OK, I now want to know what happens next.
Love it!!!
I hope there'll be more episodes/stories.
great work, definitely draws you in. I look forward to phase 2.
Hey, That twisted ending was unexpected and very seem the perfect Romulan plot.
Very enjoyable!! Thank you!
Wow! That was awesome. Way cool story so far...
I don't know what your budget was but you did quite well.
thanks. It was about £4000, with lots of favours pulled in.
Well acted and an interesting storyline. Hopefully a sequel won't be long ... unlike the bug storyline from STNG which still hasn't been revisited or resolved, even after PICARD.
I love startrek fan films💪💪💪⚡⚡⚡⚡
Thanks, so do we.
This wasn't half bad. Very good actually
good gives me a "kick in the 6" to get my ideas out of my head to "life' somehow, someway
Excellent production
Thanks
What the heck did I just watch and is there more?
I take that as a good comment 😉. Sorry, no sequel plans as of yet.
@@ambushastartrekfanproducti3718 But, we need a sequel.... It was really enjoyable and a fun watch.
I love the plot and action in this film. My only issue is if you are going to represent Section 31 get rid of the UFP jackets and wear black uniforms. Get a red,blue or gold stripe perhaps adorn the colors on the Starfleet Insignias. Covert missions should be secretive as much as possible. The clothing/ uniforms should reflect it. Perhaps the TNG episode Chain of Command Part 1 could inspire you. Looking forward to seeing your next mission soon
Thank you. A very valid point. The crew were never intended to be representatives of Section 31, merely Section 31 just got them into Romulan space. In our original script we had a briefing scene at Starfleet HQ where they were asked by Section 31, but they were never a part of it. This was a scene we never got to film though. However, the commander they have to rescue who they know nothing about is all in black with no insignia ;-)
Very well done
Cool production 😎
That was great 👍
Thanks.
I give it 4 ticks.
Joly good job !
Impresive well done!!!
Thanks
First time watching this; and I was extremely impressed by everything. 🙂😁
Seems to have a Section 31 vibe to it. 🤔🤔
A sequel must be made. 😁😁
A few canonical discrepancies (TOS era ships & phasers, TNG era Romulan ship design all coexisting with Enterprise era uniforms) but over all a decent fan film.
Wow! Very Good! Were the Jackets for Away teams? Any more Coming?
Keep making them
We'll see.
That was cool!
really cool well done
Here's a starwars star trek crossover the romulin.empire meets the galactic empire ❤😂
Good job
nice job!
USS Ambush? I dunno about the name
Hey! This is not the full film. Where's the rest of it? How does it end? ! ! !
This was true trek....Well done on all fronts.
That was awesome!! Please tell me there will be more cause I need more of this
This was fantastic....fan films have reached a zenith of being better then nu trek
I suppose the opening shots were trying to mimic the style of JJ/new trek with relatively dark ship exteriors and over-bloomed light sources, personally I don’t like this approach. But the overall production quality is good. Well done!
