An unprecedented examination of the impact the Star Trek experience has had on the franchise's most celebrated participants: William Shatner and Leonard Nimoy. These two stars have arguably embodied the brightest icons in the sci-fi universe; Shatner as passionate Captain James T. Kirk, and Nimoy as logical-minded, half Vulcan Mr. Spock.

Cathardincu Surprisingly incoherent and boring
Aubrey Hackett While it is a pity that the story wasn't told with more visual finesse, this is trivial compared to our real-world problems. It takes a good movie to put that into perspective.
Nayan Gough A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.
Fleur Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.
stormruston I am a huge fan of Star Trek the original series.If you are not, you will likely find this documentary pretty boring and a bit pointless.This is more about Shatner and Nemoy and their personal life and outlooks and how star trek effected them.. then actually about star trek the TV show.It is well done and very interesting,and we get a glimpse of the inside of Nemoys home.The DVD has a few nice extras on it including "the making of"Worth watching if you like this sort of thing,and you definitely learn a thing or two about the pair, ex specially Nemoy,he seems more open and sincere.Well made.
rickll68 I first want to admit that I am a big fan of Star Trek. As a fan, I appreciated the format of a one on one interview between Leonard Nimoy and William Shatner. This probably wouldn't have been as interesting to me if it wouldn't have been for the fact that both actors are over 70 years old now and they had a lot to say. It might have been nice if a 3rd party would have been involved in the questioning process, but all in all, I enjoyed it very much and have watched it twice now.Shatner's reflecting back to an episode of Star Trek (Devil in the Dark) and Nimoy's reaction to Shatner's memory of the incident was very amusing and reminded me of a simular situation I'd shared with a friend recently.This is no doubt focused on the memory of Star Trek to these two lead actors of The Original Series. Of the documentaries on the series, this was definately the best of the bunch. If your a moderate fan of Star Trek, rent it if you can find it. If your a big fan, this is a must have to add to your collection.
jls2698 At first I thought, Who came up with this bright idea? Take two people -- who've know each other for almost forty years, mind you -- and sit them down next to each other for about an hour while the camera is running.As banal and perfunctory as it sounds in theory, in practice, the concept works -- largely because the clash of the two personalities is (as Mr. Spock would say) fascinating. Indeed, it is a clash; Shatner and Nimoy couldn't be more different. Yes, they were born four days apart -- as we find out at the beginning of the film -- and their careers following similar arcs, but their professional concerns and personal problems diverged radically. Nimoy, the actor's actor, and Shater, the comedian, approached the roles from different perspectives. Their Trek journeys, although documented in more detail elsewhere, are discussed with benefit of age-weary hindsight.This film is very entertaining, intriguing in parts, and always interesting. For Trekkers, what more could you want?
kh98021 Your reaction to this program is going to depend on your affection for these two performers and the iconic characters they've portrayed over nearly thirty five years. I've never been to a Star Trek convention ("not that there's anything wrong with that"), and I was late coming to the original series. Still I was fascinated, moved and totally absorbed in listening to and watching these two men interact. For fans of the series and/or movies this is quite a gift. Both Shatner and Nimoy are very articulate, and their conversation covers a broad range of topics relating to both their personal and professional lives. This video taped conversation takes place in the back yard of Nimoy's home and, briefly, in his den. The affection and respect that these two men share for each other is very apparent. I highly recommend this program to those who appreciate Star Trek in its many incarnations, and to those who admire the work of William Shatner and L
