Title: Star Trek: The New Voyages
Post by: The Village Idiot on June 20, 2009, 04:56:06 AM
Has anyone seen any of the web series Star Trek: New Voyages??

Besides low budgets, most of the special effects are pretty darn good.

Its all done with volunteers and its not for profit, or they'd be sued by Paramount.

What do you think?

I have seem some of the episodes. It's ok but not like watching Star Trek II : The Wrath of Khan. The effects were done by a guy named Thomas Sasser but I'm not sure if he is still doing work for them. All in All It beats the 1,773,289th rerun of "Spocks Brain". The guys that play Kirk and Spock could use some more work in playing their characters and the writers need to stop repeating lines used in TOS Star Trek or from the Movies.

Yeah, the guy playing the Captain has a crazy hairdo, at least in the earlier eps because he was also an Elvis impersonator. lol.

The "remastered" episodes that are on sale now have new special effects that look identical to the exterior shots in the episode I downloaded. 

I'm getting some lines on the right side of the screen.  I've run it with Windows MediaPlayer 11 and VLC Player.  Both of them give me the same problem.  Usually switching players will resolve any problems, but not this time.

I skipped #1, the next two are better.

I just finished watching the one with Walter Koenig.  Good sets, but the acting (and the accents) are lousy.  Mr. Scott reminds me of Dan Akroyd more than James Doohan.
