Hard to believe that this is a fan-made movie. Brilliant story, good CGI. So much better than the "Kelvin-Timeline" with its much bigger budget. Thanks to all of you who made this movie possible.
fan made or not ... they could have done a better job on the enemies ... heck you could the person lips moving inside the mouth when they spoke ...

Walter Keonig was always one of my favourite characters from the STO series. Seeing him play Pavel Chekov again is a real bit of nostalgia. It has some well know faces from Voyager and STO and promises to be a good fan made series.
Spock was my favorite character from the original series. Canon wise he was the only alien on board, and he was part human and probably the best science officer Starfleet had and had a very calm and cool personality.
When Walter Keonig portrayed a villein in the series "Babylon 5", he showed that he was a much better actor than TOS allowed him to be. Of coarse that series had a higher budget. Cash really can make a difference.
I can't believe I didn't know this exists. Incredible job all the way around. The familiar faces throughout really held this in the Trek universe for me. Great job. It is definitely a tribute to the franchise.
I can’t believe it’s fanfiction - having Robert Picardo as the Doctor, Walter König As Pavel Chekow and Tim Russ as Tuvok... congratulations for such stunning work.

All you haters need to go back & take a Red Pill. This Blows Away any of that JJ Abrams Crap. I've been with Trek since TOS first premiered. I've Seen Every Episode of Every series. This is probably the best "fan film" I have ever had the pleasure to watch. Maybe there was no big Hollywood budget. But Guess What? TOS had next to No budget. And the show was still great. Because You Cared about the characters, and what happened to them. And they told great stories. Same thing here. I also liked how they "wove in" all the other _Trek_ universes & still stayed true to the premise of TOS.

+Boo Ninny not sure what decade you hail from... but I actually Lived the decade in question, and the production budget for TOS was pretty weak compared to many other Big Three Network series from the same time period. The only reason TOS survived after the first season is because Lucille Ball believed it had potential, and brought it over to Desilu which kept it on the air for two more seasons.
Hope Lanza Partly correct about Lucy, wrong about everything else. They had a big budget for television. The optical effects alone were considered state of the art for the 60's. Howard Anderson company had to come up with a new way to do optical printing to accomodate the special effects needs of the show. After the first pilot, they overhauled the look of the bridge, after the second pilot, they overhauled the uniforms, the phasers and communicators. Sorry, but you're wrong. No low budget TV show does this. I really hate it when people perpetuate this low budget bullshit about the show.
Boo Ninny I remember hearing/seeing/reading interviews *with the actors* (Shatner, Nimoy, & Kelley) from TOS - where they lamented the meager production budget. I would think *they* ought to know what they were talking about...
Hope Lanza If they were talking about a meager budget, they must have been referring to the 3rd season budget, which was indeed slashed as NBC had moved the show to it's 10 pm Friday night slot. That was a death sentence in those days and the show was forced to make cuts to it's production costs. But overall, they had a big budget to start with.
Never knew this existed till tonight. Watching Walter Koenig (Chekov) brings back so many fond memories of watching him and the other great actors in Star Trek Original series in 1968 as a 12 year old. Thank you from an old Aussie Star Trek fan🖖
His best role was as psi-cop Bester in Babylon 5 though, where he could be a really devious bad guy which the good guys nevertheless had to work together with. It was definetely more acting than in OT Star Trek ...
I didn't know about this at all until about 30 minutes ago. Watching on Roku TH-cam at this moment. At 12 we started a letter writing campaign in 1967 when we found out Star Trek was not on the schedule for the next season. Across our school system we lost count at the 2000 mark, in a relatively small city.. Success! We launched another letter campaign in 1969 that sadly that did not work out. I talked to the son of a man that worked at NBC in NYC. He told me there were more letters the second time, a lot more. Of course NBC did not even acknowledged the letters. Your comment started so many memories. Thanks!
Loved it ! Interesting how all of the original stars of StarTreck have all taken their time at the helm of the Enterprise or become the Admiral of the Fleet - & I have continued to enjoy the series - since I was a kid ! I'm 76, now.
This was better than i thought it would be. And talk about surprised when Chekoff, Tuvoc, Pickardo, and Icheb showed up. ACTUAL MEMBERS!!!! keep up the good work
this was super good a Star Trek show with teeth spit and balls I love it. How the hell I missed it all these years boggles my mind, but I did find it and enjoyed it very much. Thanks for the upload
As a life long Star Trek fan, I will say that this should have been included in the franchise. having the fans create the plot makes it so much better then having some creative minds decide what we the fans want to see.
I’m 80 so that’s what’s called a long life Star Trek fan and even though three are many orginal actors included in the movies they struggled to hold up the newbies 😢. A really good spin-off is Discovery. The actors are very good and the filming superb
This is great sorry but I'm 68 years old and I'm from the old school. If this ever comes out on DVD so I can add it to my Star Trek collection I would be a happy camper. This is so professional. I would love to add this to my collection. Good luck guys I am subscribed and I will watch this many times
it is amazing how far sfx has come that doesn't even need Hollywood anymore to produce high caliber effects like this (and an all-star cast doesn't hurt either!)
You guys did an amazing job. You have captured the heart and soul of what Star Trek is all about: political intrigue, interesting characters, and some amazing visual effects thrown in to boot. Well written, and I think Mr. Russ did a fantastic job directing. I could see on the screen not only the blood, sweat, and tears that must have gone into the making of this film, but also the love and dedication to the ideas behind Star Trek. Thank you all!
Now THIS actually FEELS like Star Trek. Considering the fact, that this is "only" a "Fan Film", this is WAY BEYOND my expectations. Thanks a lot for this. Keep up the good work.
Its about Time!!! Where have you people been?... I need more than 1 pilot, and I bet there is thousand more who wants more of the same! Hard to believe that this Awesome story is going to die out!?...I hope this isn't the last of the Final Frontier...Mouse🐭
When I saw so many Star Trek actors I couldn't believe it was just a fan film... this goes to show you, if you are true to what it means, build it and they will come! Bravo!!!
Well done. The special effects were movie-grade, and the acting was great. It was good seeing so many of the Star Trek races all together, and so many beloved characters from the various series all together.
@@HighDesertOffgrid: Did it sound like I was kidding? If you didn't like it, then that is your opinion, but I'm entitled to my opinion just as you, or anyone else is. Why don't you tell everyone what you thought of it, too. Put up or shut up.
It's a crying shame that CBS and Paramount shut down the making of projects like this. In no other fandom have the fans and the series actors collaborated on films together, sharing a common vision, and produced works of this caliber. Instead, they now give us a steady stream of Star Drek.
@@mattraymond2935 I wish they would listen to us and just make a show that shows us what’s happening after Voyager. No weird action to where I’m questioning which Franchise I’m watching, no uncomfortable crying or cringe cursing like Discovery. No bickering in a ready room please have characters who are professional and truly portray the professionalism of star fleet. Something episodic but if you want an Arc thrown in have a war with the Breen are make up a new threat from another quadrant. There’s just so much good they can do and yet they fail miserably. Just sad
This is an amazing find! Star Trek: Renegades has carried the Star Trek saga forward in time with a great deal of the action, adventure, techie stuff, and many of the characters that are familiar to those who have watched it in the past. The plot, and it's own "mission" are great!!! Also a surprise: Grant Imahara from "MythBusters" (I'm saddened to hear of his premature demise). I recognized him from somewhere and couldn't figure out where until the credits. And also Corin Nemec as an aggressive ship's captain- a strange flip in character from what I remember when he was with "Stargate SG-1". I hope that there are other episodes. I'll need to check this channel!!!
Thank you for the kind words! So glad you enjoyed it. You can now watch Renegades: The Requiem when you join our membership channel! It has not been available until now. We have a lot more sci-fi content coming. Stay tuned! th-cam.com/video/tqZu8RyPPBU/w-d-xo.html
I just saw this for the first time in 2023, and I have to say, it really holds up well, especially with the new vibe/direction current studio-produced star trek shows have gone with the franchise. For example, Lexxa reminds me of La'an Singh from Strange New Worlds and the scientist woman reminds me of Professor Jurati from Picard!!!
I just now came across this.. I wasn't a fan of next gen... But I did like all the other story lines... I've been a trek fan for 50 years... I got hooked on the original ST it was in rerun at the time when I discovered it on the early 70's... I can't believe I missed this when it came out... To be fair, I was busy raising my family and I hadn't owned a TV in 15 years
That was great! For a fan made film, I'm amazed at how truly authentic Renegades feels; which is in no small part due to the casting of some of Star Trek's most awesome actors. Looking forward to more - thanks a bunch for this to all involved :)
Yes. For all of you who paid nothing and criticize at will, how about some props for what is, yes, ad hoc, actual Trek? Especially that they got the props so well, and legacy actors too! Maybe you don't buy a ticket and watch on streamflix. Or you only watch once on whatever. But at least they guys are out here hookin' and jabbin' and I think they did an excellent job! Great passion. Great entertainment. Haters go home.
only thing i didnt like bout it was that corin nemec wasnt playing tom paris like he did in voyager yet everyone else played their respective characters. Looking at the cast list chekotay from voyager is also playing a different character.
I didn't know this existed until a week or so ago and I didn't know this was fanmade until I read this. 🤣 That's incredible This is so legit, it has to be canon lol
got to say, I actually loved this, and wish it could/would continue. CBS should be ashamed of itself. Fan made stuff like this has launched entire series.
Ichep and Lexxa are badass and that Antarian chick is a hacker babe. Fixer is pretty cool too, with an interesting backstory. A lot of potential with this, thoroughly enjoyed it. Thanks to all involved!! I just wish there was more that I could binge watch :)
What a real treat getting back into the saddle of a Star Trek program. This was a super super surprise. How do I tap into more episodes. Don´t want it to end..
This film was way better than it had any right to be! Trekkies and Trek stars working together have done an amazing thing! And it was nice to see Sean Young’s talents being put to use again!
I have been a Star Trek fan since I was dad's "remote control" (yup. I'm old). The scene I just watched was of Admiral Chekov and his great-great granddaughter at the "Admiral Nimoy" memorial. That brought a tear to my eye. Beautiful homage Atomic. RIP Leonard.
@@jacklow9611 Commodore is a very specific rank. It's actually lower than the lowest Admiral. Commodore is really just a fancy Captain holding a special appointment. It is really designed to create a "Senior Captain" position over other Captains, but not actually increase the Captain's rank at all. Just give him "Seniority" to give them Orders. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Commodore_(rank) "It is superior to a navy captain, but below a rear admiral. It is either regarded as the most junior of the flag officers rank or may not hold the jurisdiction of a flag officer at all depending on the officer's appointment."
What a amazing saga, and executed well. So glad to see familiar faces and some new ones. This is a execellent line to the startrek name, even though its a fan production, its heart for those who continue to make the Trek Live long and Prosper
Hi, I like the story, the Special effects are great. I thought the characters were great, not all of them, but most of them. The acting is Ok. . . . can it be better? yes. I think its Awesome because it just "feels" like Star Trek, especially compared to JJTrek. My ideal ST show would be something with politics, Ethics, science of course, philosophy, some drama and a bit of action around a Star Trek theme Universe. Thats what I like as a fan.
This is spectacular, another Star Trek series! Thank you from the bottom of my heart. It is fabulously done with the same conflicts between Star Fleet Headquarters and the crew of starships. Star Trek lives again!
Better by far than Any of the "new" Star Trek flicks the studios have been cranking out. This Labor of Love has all the elements that attracted, and Hooked me on Star Trek from the first season in 1966, Absolutely Stellar!
Wow. Very nice first episode. Amazing. I'm one of the original Trekkies. I saw the first Star Trek on a black & white floor-model tv, and memorized every line of every script in the first year of shows. Nice work. Congratulations to all.
What was the show when they landed in the past, perhaps wild west, when Kirk remembered the people of the past still use money, and they forgot to bring money. Does that sound like anything you remember?
This is so cool, awesome. I stumbled upon a bold new world boldly going where no star trek (fan) film has gone before. Lets keep STR going, Looking forward to seeing more. Live long and support :)
Thank you so much Walter Koenig and Tim Russ for bringing us yet another great Star Trek show! The ship and space shots were very well done, and the shots of future San Francisco were beautiful! Please make this series happen! Trek Lives On!
this is glorious....made before the ban...in the age of the void, when no official Trek was online. No matter what happens....the fans will keep Trek alive.
i whole-hardheartedly salute the hearts and dedication behind this project. warms my heart to see fan fiction taken to the next level......gives me hope for our collective future...

Yay, Icheb!!! So happy to see that little borgling in this film. He was one of the most interesting characters on Voyager and it is a real thrill to see him and Tuvok in this film, among all the familiar faces. From the comments, it sounds like the studios finally interfered with fan films, which is a real shame. Finding all these Amazing fan films with great production and original cast members has been like finding unwatched seasons of my favourite shows. I can't express enough gratitude to the cast and crew of this endeavour. It has truly been a pleasure watching these again. These Star Trek fan films got my dad really into fan films for a few months. It was really wonderful to be able to share that with him. Much love, joy and peace to you all.
I enjoyed this movie very much and I appreciate the actors and production crew who thought enough of the fans to work for free to make it. Thank you....
Thanks guys, it's nice to see you all up there again 👍 Time sucks man, plus there's none to replace you all and well it's gonna be rough for the rest of my time with nothing but re-runs.
As a long time fan of all things Star Trek, I was very entertained, thank you for going beyond and keeping Star Trek alive and well. Please let me know what I can do to support your series.
Write long and live forever in this awesome world of star trek and keep it real, as you know what I mean, because you are on the way of making a hit move! Keep it up. You're all amazing and have the heart of Roddenberry.
@@RockBrentwood And yet the Discovery Season 2 finale ranks in top 20 of all Trek episodes of all time on IMDB. Season 3 already in pre production. Maybe stop paying attention to incel troll raids.
@@TalynOne ok, so only incel trolls are critical of Discovery, not lifelong Trek fans who know crap when they see it. And do you really think that there are that many incels out there to affect ratings like that?
I don't believe this will satisfy all Trekkies and fans alike but this is very good considering it was made on a low budget. I'm sure they will improve and expand the characters, writing, and stories in the next episodes. I like it even if it has a darker tone, and quality, from an alternative perspective of Gene Roddenberry's vision of the future.
+Codex1 I agree with you on the that one. I watched it again and the script was lacking cohesion and some scenes should have been removed. The acting wasn't great either.
+WideTubeVision4 felt the same. Things could be differ. Hopefully it will grow. And a better budget and better writing to come. But I'll settle in hopes it grows.
+Codex1 The script and story were very good. There were writing issues to be sure but the overall story was easy to follow and interesting. It also didn't include extraneous scenes just to fill time like most Star Trek Fan Fictions. Like most Trek series the overall acting was most serviceable and where it counted the direct knew how to get the best out of the non-com actors. So yes, it wasn't GREAT acting but Trek acting never is. Gates McFadden Marina Sirtis, Robert Duncan Mc Neil, Robert Beltran and others were all shaky to serviceable. Enterprise was worse. Scott Bakula, Jolene Blalock, Linda Park, Antony Montgomery...all awful or under really bad direction episode after episode... So I'll take serviceable any day.
Eugene (Gene) Roddenberry creator of Star Trek was married to Majel Barrett. Majel played nurse Chapel on the original Star Trek and Lwaxanna Troi on the Next Generation.🤟🏻
This was so worth my time! Thank you to everyone involved in this production behind and in front of the camera. So much more Star Trek than anything JJA has put out or STD. I would actually pay to see a series based on this. Hear that, CBS? As far as production value is concerned, I think this slides in right between the original series and TNG. The acting was on par with some of the early TNG episodes, but the characters allow for so much development and so does the story. Just tell me one thing: The USS Archer has a shuttle named Porthos, correct. Now I gotta go an watch it again!
i am a star Trek fan since September 8 1966 the first show and this is very good show .CBS no longer has its CEO that messed up Discovery there may be changes on whose films they support
He was 49. His death was confirmed on Monday night by Discovery Communications. A company spokeswoman said that the cause was believed to be a brain aneurysm and that Mr. Imahara, who lived in Los Angeles, was thought to have died hours earlier.
@@LAprodz Nooo... no effing way!!! I can't believe I just now found this out. I can't believe he's dead! Life is just so... fleeting and unfair. The good die young. What a bass ackward world.
My hat off to the Star Trek actors and actresses who support and participate fan made movies! We love you! The CGI was excellent, so was music, alien races looked great. Acting varied a lot, from great to not so good, "not so good" is typical to fan made, "great" is rare. Some who I think did really good job: Chasty Ballesteros, Cela Scott, Courtney Peldon, Madison Russ, Tim Russ, Robert Picardo and Bruce Young. The weakness was in the story and screen play. At points the dialogue was not well thought out. But I'm not gonna complain too much of it. Because in the end I enjoyed it, and it was already a great effort and achievement for a fan production.
I give it a Super 'B' rating. Good to see all the current SYFY, cast of various shows collaborating together to keep the SYFY, experience Alive. To those who have died since this product release. RIP To those still alive, do not give up the faith . "LIVE LONG AND PROSPER". IT IS THE AMERICAN WAY. OR FOR LIBERALS, "THE FREE PERSONS WAY."
This is bloody brilliant. Loved seeing some of the Star Trek crew, it added that extra bit of atmosphere and depth. Thank you for giving us this gem on a fraction of the budget. Loved it🤗🤗

this was super good a Star Trek show with teeth spit and balls I love it. How the hell I missed it all these years boggles my mind, but I did find it and enjoyed it very much. Thanks for the upload
As a life long Star Trek fan, I will say that this should have been included in the franchise. having the fans create the plot makes it so much better then having some creative minds decide what we the fans want to see.
I’m 80 so that’s what’s called a long life Star Trek fan and even though three are many orginal actors included in the movies they struggled to hold up the newbies 😢. A really good spin-off is Discovery. The actors are very good and the filming superb
This is great sorry but I'm 68 years old and I'm from the old school. If this ever comes out on DVD so I can add it to my Star Trek collection I would be a happy camper. This is so professional. I would love to add this to my collection. Good luck guys I am subscribed and I will watch this many times
Same
it is amazing how far sfx has come that doesn't even need Hollywood anymore to produce high caliber effects like this (and an all-star cast doesn't hurt either!)
Thanks!
This Movie was very nice. I love the old characters from StarTrek World. Thank you for producing this Movie.
It's Finally here and I'm online - YES!!!
THIS is trully a real StarTrek FAN CLUB quality movie , it is definitely the followings of all of them previous movies . JUST AMAZING , Loved it
Wonderful that actual Star Trek characters appeared in this fanfiction which was wonderful. Just wonderful, thank you for sharing
You guys did an amazing job. You have captured the heart and soul of what Star Trek is all about: political intrigue, interesting characters, and some amazing visual effects thrown in to boot. Well written, and I think Mr. Russ did a fantastic job directing. I could see on the screen not only the blood, sweat, and tears that must have gone into the making of this film, but also the love and dedication to the ideas behind Star Trek. Thank you all!
Can't believe i'm seeing so many famous faces. Chekov. Tuvok. Ichip! Freakin' legends!!!
Icheb lol
@@killwalker2474 E-chip, to his friends
Fantastic 👏 🖖
Now THIS actually FEELS like Star Trek. Considering the fact, that this is "only" a "Fan Film", this is WAY BEYOND my expectations. Thanks a lot for this. Keep up the good work.
Thanks for your support Ulrich!
Its about Time!!! Where have you people been?... I need more than 1 pilot, and I bet there is thousand more who wants more of the same! Hard to believe that this Awesome story is going to die out!?...I hope this isn't the last of the Final Frontier...Mouse🐭
@@MouseB you can only have one pilot, after that they are called episodes. Smfh
@@stacybaldwin3346 Star Trek had two pilots.
It is not the Star Trek I knew!
I started watching it thinking it was going to be lame. Ended up loving it.
Just found and watched this tonight. I am very grateful! It was wonderful! The old guard and the new cast members were exemplary! Kudos!
When I saw so many Star Trek actors I couldn't believe it was just a fan film... this goes to show you, if you are true to what it means, build it and they will come! Bravo!!!
As a previous fan said “This woke up my inner Trekkie”. Thanks for your support by making Star Trek exciting and dramatic again.
R.I.P. Grant Imahara. It was nice to see him in this. Great cast. Excellent story and special effects. If this turns into a series, I'm all in!
I knew that was him! I couldn't find his name in the credits.
😂
So many great faces from the past, as well as numerous exciting new characters!
Wonderful, absolutely wonderful
Well done. The special effects were movie-grade, and the acting was great. It was good seeing so many of the Star Trek races all together, and so many beloved characters from the various series all together.
You are kidding, right?
@@HighDesertOffgrid: Did it sound like I was kidding? If you didn't like it, then that is your opinion, but I'm entitled to my opinion just as you, or anyone else is. Why don't you tell everyone what you thought of it, too. Put up or shut up.
I want star wars Dan films w ith these graphics.....
@@HighDesertOffgridbout on par with ST TNG or Voyager.... Even better then farscape
@@louisemcdaid3962 "Star Wars Dan"? I'm not familiar with that/them. Please expound further.
It's a crying shame that CBS and Paramount shut down the making of projects like this. In no other fandom have the fans and the series actors collaborated on films together, sharing a common vision, and produced works of this caliber. Instead, they now give us a steady stream of Star Drek.
the fans make better content. newer CBS and Paramount stuff is just bad
@@mattraymond2935 I wish they would listen to us and just make a show that shows us what’s happening after Voyager. No weird action to where I’m questioning which Franchise I’m watching, no uncomfortable crying or cringe cursing like Discovery. No bickering in a ready room please have characters who are professional and truly portray the professionalism of star fleet. Something episodic but if you want an Arc thrown in have a war with the Breen are make up a new threat from another quadrant. There’s just so much good they can do and yet they fail miserably. Just sad
"Star Drek?"
"Drek" means "poop" in a certain language.
Were you aware of this or was it a typo?
@@crowbar_the_rogue DISCOVERY AND PICARD ARE NOT CANON THEY ARE NOT TREK THEY ARE DOGWATER
@@crowbar_the_rogue It was intentional.
I’ve never watched a fan film Star Trek. This is REALLY FRACKING GOOOOOOOOD. Thank you all involved
This is an amazing find! Star Trek: Renegades has carried the Star Trek saga forward in time with a great deal of the action, adventure, techie stuff, and many of the characters that are familiar to those who have watched it in the past. The plot, and it's own "mission" are great!!! Also a surprise: Grant Imahara from "MythBusters" (I'm saddened to hear of his premature demise). I recognized him from somewhere and couldn't figure out where until the credits. And also Corin Nemec as an aggressive ship's captain- a strange flip in character from what I remember when he was with "Stargate SG-1".
I hope that there are other episodes. I'll need to check this channel!!!
Thank you for the kind words! So glad you enjoyed it. You can now watch Renegades: The Requiem when you join our membership channel! It has not been available until now. We have a lot more sci-fi content coming. Stay tuned! th-cam.com/video/tqZu8RyPPBU/w-d-xo.html
This was so good... Can't wait for more episodes of this. A perfect follow up of the Voyager era.
I just saw this for the first time in 2023, and I have to say, it really holds up well, especially with the new vibe/direction current studio-produced star trek shows have gone with the franchise. For example, Lexxa reminds me of La'an Singh from Strange New Worlds and the scientist woman reminds me of Professor Jurati from Picard!!!
I just now came across this.. I wasn't a fan of next gen... But I did like all the other story lines... I've been a trek fan for 50 years... I got hooked on the original ST it was in rerun at the time when I discovered it on the early 70's... I can't believe I missed this when it came out... To be fair, I was busy raising my family and I hadn't owned a TV in 15 years
Can't wait for the next Episode. Such grate work. Keep going. You are what the Fandome needs.
I understand this is old, but this was AMAZING I want more Star Trek Like this.
That was great! For a fan made film, I'm amazed at how truly authentic Renegades feels; which is in no small part due to the casting of some of Star Trek's most awesome actors. Looking forward to more - thanks a bunch for this to all involved :)
Yes. For all of you who paid nothing and criticize at will, how about some props for what is, yes, ad hoc, actual Trek? Especially that they got the props so well, and legacy actors too! Maybe you don't buy a ticket and watch on streamflix. Or you only watch once on whatever. But at least they guys are out here hookin' and jabbin' and I think they did an excellent job! Great passion. Great entertainment. Haters go home.
@@justsayin3228
So people are supposed to like whatever there is?
I won't condemn it yet(5m08s in),but I AM very sceptical .
only thing i didnt like bout it was that corin nemec wasnt playing tom paris like he did in voyager yet everyone else played their respective characters. Looking at the cast list chekotay from voyager is also playing a different character.
I didn't know this existed until a week or so ago and I didn't know this was fanmade until I read this. 🤣 That's incredible
This is so legit, it has to be canon lol
@@Broockle 👍
got to say, I actually loved this, and wish it could/would continue. CBS should be ashamed of itself. Fan made stuff like this has launched entire series.
I miss you so much. Glad TH-cam is here. I almost cried when Fixer showed up.
Fuck yeah !
I love Edward furlong
Couple years later, I still re-watch this one… THIS is the Trek we all deserved!!!
Ichep and Lexxa are badass and that Antarian chick is a hacker babe. Fixer is pretty cool too, with an interesting backstory. A lot of potential with this, thoroughly enjoyed it. Thanks to all involved!! I just wish there was more that I could binge watch :)
J.L. Allen Oh and nice touch with the Admiral Nimoy Memorial as a new permanent fixture at the Academy!
+J.L. Allen The hacker chick is Andorian.
I find the blueskins. . . intriguing.
Good eye Draco. I realized my goof after I posted but didn't bother to edit -- I knew a fellow trekkie would correct me :)
J.L. Allen :)
Glad to have been of service.
What a real treat getting back into the saddle of a Star Trek program. This was a super super surprise. How do I tap into more episodes. Don´t want it to end..
Good yarn deftly done on a small budget. Congrats to all involved and thanks to Atomic Network for posting.
This film was way better than it had any right to be! Trekkies and Trek stars working together have done an amazing thing! And it was nice to see Sean Young’s talents being put to use again!
For me, Sean Young was never a very good actress. Still isn't. Jmo
HOW MUCH BETTER IS THIS THAN ANYTHING "STAR TREK" LABELLED CURRENTLY!!
WOW!!
How also, am I only discovering this now, 6 years later?
I have been a Star Trek fan since I was dad's "remote control" (yup. I'm old).
The scene I just watched was of Admiral Chekov and his great-great granddaughter at the "Admiral Nimoy" memorial. That brought a tear to my eye.
Beautiful homage Atomic. RIP Leonard.
He should have been a Commodore, not just an Admiral.
@@jacklow9611 Commodore is a very specific rank. It's actually lower than the lowest Admiral.
Commodore is really just a fancy Captain holding a special appointment. It is really designed to create a "Senior Captain" position over other Captains, but not actually increase the Captain's rank at all. Just give him "Seniority" to give them Orders. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Commodore_(rank)
"It is superior to a navy captain, but below a rear admiral. It is either regarded as the most junior of the flag officers rank or may not hold the jurisdiction of a flag officer at all depending on the officer's appointment."
@@hillarysemails1615: Thank you for correcting my ignorance. I guess I should have checked into Naval ranks a little better.
@@jacklow9611 No problem. We all help each other. ♥
yes, admiral nimoy, took a half a second to realize it said nimoy not spock.
What a amazing saga, and executed well. So glad to see familiar faces and some new ones. This is a execellent line to the startrek name, even though its a fan production, its heart for those who continue to make the Trek Live long and Prosper
Thank you,Kool Story and extra Kool to have some familiar Characters from various Trek Series👍🏽💥
That was so Awesome. . . Finally some real Star Trek!
And now it's going to be killed by the new fan film guidelines.
Hi,
I like the story, the Special effects are great. I thought the characters were great, not all of them, but most of them. The acting is Ok. . . . can it be better? yes. I think its Awesome because it just "feels" like Star Trek, especially compared to JJTrek.
My ideal ST show would be something with politics, Ethics, science of course, philosophy, some drama and a bit of action around a Star Trek theme Universe. Thats what I like as a fan.
Oh my god. Thank you. I didnt even know this exist until i saw it on my yt recommended
You spelled God wrong.
This is just awsome, couldnt tell this wasnt fan made, seemed like the real deal from start to end
Thanks for your feedback!
I love seeing ADM Pavel Chekov, Dr. Louis Zimmerman, ADM Owen Paris, and Tuvok again.
Star Trek as it should be.
Finally a REALLY well done follow-on ! MAKE MORE GUYS !!!
This is spectacular, another Star Trek series! Thank you from the bottom of my heart. It is fabulously done with the same conflicts between Star Fleet Headquarters and the crew of starships. Star Trek lives again!
It never really died, despite some studio big-wigs efforts.
It is hard to believe that this is fanfiction. It is certainly high quality, great work by all involved.👍👍
Paramount did shit to this
Tgey don’t care about actors soul and vibes while this has all rights nto be called Star Trek
Thanks for uploading and the making of this I like it❤☢️
Better by far than Any of the "new" Star Trek flicks the studios have been cranking out. This Labor of Love has all the elements that attracted, and Hooked me on Star Trek from the first season in 1966, Absolutely Stellar!
Man I'm so mad I didn't see this earlier. Kudos to Tim Russ and the rest of the crew that worked on this.
Christmas movies
Look up Christmas Movies
I am very proud of the makers of this fan film. It was well done all around. I am definitely adding it to my prized collections!
Wow. Very nice first episode. Amazing. I'm one of the original Trekkies. I saw the first Star Trek on a black & white floor-model tv, and memorized every line of every script in the first year of shows. Nice work. Congratulations to all.
What was the show when they landed in the past, perhaps wild west, when Kirk remembered the people of the past still use money, and they forgot to bring money. Does that sound like anything you remember?
This is so cool, awesome.
I stumbled upon a bold new world boldly going where no star trek (fan) film has gone before. Lets keep STR going, Looking forward to seeing more. Live long and support :)
Thank you so much Walter Koenig and Tim Russ for bringing us yet another great Star Trek show! The ship and space shots were very well done, and the shots of future San Francisco were beautiful! Please make this series happen! Trek Lives On!
I think I liked this even better than Of Gods And Men, and I LOVED Of Gods And Men! Please, sirs, may I have some more?
+wade burk Not to be mean but you need to work on you story and character development more and spend less on CGI and effect.
Thanks Wade! Glad you enjoyed it :)
I agree
May God still bless you I love you too
this is glorious....made before the ban...in the age of the void, when no official Trek was online. No matter what happens....the fans will keep Trek alive.
Obviously not, everything is being cancelled before they can really take off.
i whole-hardheartedly salute the hearts and dedication behind this project. warms my heart to see fan fiction taken to the next level......gives me hope for our collective future...
The andorian looked hot
+The8BitChampion you mean fat. I guess you enjoyed her lesbian scene, right?

Simply beautiful, a continuation of everything Star Trek is and should be. Such powerful cameos, incredible story progression, and lore out the wazoo. I love it
Thank you!
DITTO , me too, just brilliant all the way around.
@@AtomicVideoHow many episodes were there?
Thank you to everyone involved in making this. Well done!
Yay, Icheb!!! So happy to see that little borgling in this film. He was one of the most interesting characters on Voyager and it is a real thrill to see him and Tuvok in this film, among all the familiar faces. From the comments, it sounds like the studios finally interfered with fan films, which is a real shame. Finding all these Amazing fan films with great production and original cast members has been like finding unwatched seasons of my favourite shows. I can't express enough gratitude to the cast and crew of this endeavour. It has truly been a pleasure watching these again. These Star Trek fan films got my dad really into fan films for a few months. It was really wonderful to be able to share that with him. Much love, joy and peace to you all.
I enjoyed this movie very much and I appreciate the actors and production crew who thought enough of the fans to work for free to make it. Thank you....
this dos look good ill look at it when I have time
One of the best Star Trek's thus far. Bravo!
Just heard about this after Grant's passing was announced. My heart goes out to his friends and family. You all did an exceptional job with this!
Thanks guys, it's nice to see you all up there again 👍
Time sucks man, plus there's none to replace you all and well it's gonna be rough for the rest of my time with nothing but re-runs.
It is wonderful to see another side of Trek -- especially one with such high quality production values. Keep 'em flying, Icarus!
As a long time fan of all things Star Trek, I was very entertained, thank you for going beyond
and keeping Star Trek alive and well. Please let me know what I can do to support your series.
Write long and live forever in this awesome world of star trek and keep it real, as you know what I mean, because you are on the way of making a hit move! Keep it up. You're all amazing and have the heart of Roddenberry.
WOW! That´s how it´s done!
THX for this great Trek Movie, this is the quality trekkies deserve, not the BS they want to sell to us...
Absolutely Stunning!!! Excellent Work, and THANKS!!!
Once again, the best in Star Trek continues to come from the fans, not from CBS. Well done
You are insane. Star trek Discovery is the fucking shit yo
@@Draecast Are you fking nuts? Do you understand the statement from iStormUK? Ignorant.
Agreed
@@RockBrentwood And yet the Discovery Season 2 finale ranks in top 20 of all Trek episodes of all time on IMDB. Season 3 already in pre production. Maybe stop paying attention to incel troll raids.
@@TalynOne ok, so only incel trolls are critical of Discovery, not lifelong Trek fans who know crap when they see it.
And do you really think that there are that many incels out there to affect ratings like that?
I don't believe this will satisfy all Trekkies and fans alike but this is very good considering it was made on a low budget. I'm sure they will improve and expand the characters, writing, and stories in the next episodes. I like it even if it has a darker tone, and quality, from an alternative perspective of Gene Roddenberry's vision of the future.
CaptainGrimsdale The budget isn't an excuse. If you're producing something on low budget, you make sure the script is solid. The script was terrible.
+Codex1 I agree with you on the that one. I watched it again and the script was lacking cohesion and some scenes should have been removed. The acting wasn't great either.
+WideTubeVision4 felt the same. Things could be differ. Hopefully it will grow. And a better budget and better writing to come. But I'll settle in hopes it grows.
+Codex1
The script and story were very good.
There were writing issues to be sure but the overall story was easy to follow and interesting. It also didn't include extraneous scenes just to fill time like most Star Trek Fan Fictions.
Like most Trek series the overall acting was most serviceable and where it counted the direct knew how to get the best out of the non-com actors. So yes, it wasn't GREAT acting but Trek acting never is. Gates McFadden Marina Sirtis, Robert Duncan Mc Neil, Robert Beltran and others were all shaky to serviceable.
Enterprise was worse.
Scott Bakula, Jolene Blalock, Linda Park, Antony Montgomery...all awful or under really bad direction episode after episode...
So I'll take serviceable any day.
+saquist Enterprise failed because of the directors/writers couldn't do shit.
Gene would be so proud of this. Kudos.
Who's "Gene?"
Eugene (Gene) Roddenberry creator of Star Trek was married to Majel Barrett. Majel played nurse Chapel on the original Star Trek and Lwaxanna Troi on the Next Generation.🤟🏻
Awesome work.
This was so worth my time! Thank you to everyone involved in this production behind and in front of the camera. So much more Star Trek than anything JJA has put out or STD. I would actually pay to see a series based on this. Hear that, CBS? As far as production value is concerned, I think this slides in right between the original series and TNG. The acting was on par with some of the early TNG episodes, but the characters allow for so much development and so does the story. Just tell me one thing: The USS Archer has a shuttle named Porthos, correct. Now I gotta go an watch it again!
i am a star Trek fan since September 8 1966 the first show and this is very good show .CBS no longer has its CEO that messed up Discovery there may be changes on whose films they support
Thank you so much for giving us this Star Trek episode. The TV Network Executives live clueless and ignorant of what fans really want.
They are too busy trying to dictate morals for the culture instead of reflecting them
Beautiful Thank-you
AWESOME Show.... lots of actors from a variety of Star Trek shows. really enjoyed. Keep them coming!
Owe, RIP Grant Imahara. What what a cast!
He was 49. His death was confirmed on Monday night by Discovery Communications. A company spokeswoman said that the cause was believed to be a brain aneurysm and that Mr. Imahara, who lived in Los Angeles, was thought to have died hours earlier.
@@LAprodz Nooo... no effing way!!! I can't believe I just now found this out. I can't believe he's dead! Life is just so... fleeting and unfair. The good die young. What a bass ackward world.
My hat off to the Star Trek actors and actresses who support and participate fan made movies! We love you!
The CGI was excellent, so was music, alien races looked great. Acting varied a lot, from great to not so good, "not so good" is typical to fan made, "great" is rare. Some who I think did really good job: Chasty Ballesteros, Cela Scott, Courtney Peldon, Madison Russ, Tim Russ, Robert Picardo and Bruce Young. The weakness was in the story and screen play. At points the dialogue was not well thought out. But I'm not gonna complain too much of it. Because in the end I enjoyed it, and it was already a great effort and achievement for a fan production.
Courtney Peldon is notoriously one of the worst actors in Trek history, but I agree with you on the rest.
Thanks, enjoyed your video. ✌🏻👊🏼
I give it a Super 'B' rating. Good to see all the current SYFY, cast of various shows collaborating together to keep the SYFY, experience Alive.
To those who have died since this product release. RIP
To those still alive, do not give up the faith .
"LIVE LONG AND PROSPER".

This is my third time watching this it only gets better wonderful actors need I say more. Thank you
I'm the same. 3rd time and loving it. ♥
I've bookmarked it, so I can watch it again to catch the bits I missed the first time around (That might take two or three tries)
This is bloody brilliant.
Loved seeing some of the Star Trek crew, it added that extra bit of atmosphere and depth.
Thank you for giving us this gem on a fraction of the budget.
Loved it🤗🤗
They are doing a good job with the budget they have. For a first episode it is quite good.
thanx people.
