A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.

This film is so real. It treats its characters with so much care and sensitivity.

There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.

After playing with our expectations, this turns out to be a very different sort of film.

To be fair to the company/group, whatever, created this I suffered through several episodes of these presentations. The first was just awful, but others have improved. I was surprised to see George T in one episode but it seemed to have a good affect on the other actors. Their acting improved a couple of notches.Many of the complaints are accurate. The acting is not up to par to take this seriously, although, I am happy to say I've seen improvement. Like others, I think if they got away from trying to copy the original actors and used fewer of the series clichés, they would come off a bit better.The special effects are fantastic and how ever they were able to get Paramounts cooperation is amazing. Once Paramount signed with Creations, they have become anti fan and a terror to deal with. Roddenberry supported and looked for fan participation.The worst criticism I can say about this series is that some Star Trek Fan plays with no props have come across much better. Again, seeing the improvement over time, gives me hope they may just pull this off. Until then I will have to keep this review at a 3 star.

Here's the thing, insulting a fan made project is like telling a parent that their kid's painting on the fridge is crap.. The effects are very good but the acting... oh the acting !!! It is awful. I tried so hard to get into this. I like the Star Trek, old school stuff but this is not good.. The acting destroys any good that the effects bring. I am sorry, you get 10/10 for effort but it just isn't supposed to be.. Sorry. I would like to thank you for trying but please do not try anymore. I would like to see this picked up and redone, the idea is sound. Would love to know how this is funded, there must be some rich Trekkies out there.

I just saw my first episode, "In Harm's Way". It brilliantly tied together elements from several ST:TOS episodes (specifically, "The Doomsday Machine", "The City on the Edge of Forever", and "The Menagerie") into one fast-paced story. The writing was very well done, and the acting.....James Cawley apparently wears several hats well, being an executive producer and the person playing James T. Kirk. He has an extreme comfort level in the role. I almost wish he'd played Kirk in the 2009 movie (though Chris Pine did an excellent job there). In fact, all of the actors played their roles really well.Also for no money coming in, and a very tight budget, the special effects are superb (in fact, BETTER than in TOS).I only wish this were on TV. Watching over the Internet is fine but I'd like to be able to watch on my big-screen.....

This show is the reason I watched Star Trek in the first place. It definitely has its problems, but it has more good points than bad. The stories themselves are spot on, and "World enough and time" is one of the best written Trek episodes to date. The acting does seem to improve over time, but still, most of these people are doing a better job than many professional actors. The show also has a sincerity to it that has been missing from all of the other post-Roddenberry (post Next Generation) Treks. I hope they are able to continue, and that this project will at least lead to other money-making opportunities for them in the future. I am definitely looking forward to Blood & Fire and would recommend New Voyages to any Trek fan who's become jaded by the giant money-making soulless machine that Star Trek has become. It just might make you remember why Star Trek inspired you in the first place.
