Trekkies (1997)

Star Trek: Hate it or Love it, you must see this movie!
6 February 2006
Warning: Spoilers
This is a special sort of movie that to some may seem like a waste of film while to others it is a masterpiece as great as the Enterprise D itself! What is this movie about? Star Trek? Yeah sort of, but more important the fans of Star Trek. Yeah OK, it is a strange world that you enter in this movie, maybe the tag line should be "To boldly go where no jock has gone before" because it does feature a lot of people that to the naked eye appear to be nerds at Star Trek Conventions. STOP! Now think about it though, Are they nerds? What makes their fan fair for Star Trek any different then a football fan or hockey fan? Too me there is not much difference. In fact this point is made in this movie.

This movie while strange does bring home an important point about the human condition. The people featured in this movie, while although they seem strange to the general public are no different then you or I. It brings to heart that we are all human and all of us have a passion about something. (Even the odd Klingon who has a passion for Glory!) It is well worth the rental price just remember it is a documentary.
