Star Trek Equinox

Colonel Kira's Left Tit

Bearded Belly of Bajor
Okay, there are all these Star Trek fan film things floating around the net these days, but I think it's safe to say they've now scraped the bottom of the barrel with this... thing.

Star Trek Equinox | The Night of Time

The "trailer": https://vimeo.com/132046454


Seriously. What in the FUCK is this shit? A sequel to an already half-baked Voyager episode? In the past? With a resurrected Gary Mitchell (yes, he's actually supposed to be played by Gary Lockwood, but doesn't appear in the "trailer") as a fleet captain or something.

Jesus, just fucking stop.

:bill:
 
I thought the guy's acting was bad, then the Vulcan ("obviously") started talking...

"The logical conclusion is that somehow you have travelled back in space." Pretty sure she meant to say "time" but got it wrong and they didn't even notice or couldn't afford a second take.

I'm reading through the thread on TrekBBS about it. They claimed at first it was a "pilot" shot for CBS lol. Star Trek Equinox - The Trek BBS
 
Meanwhile, in star wars fan films,..

The entire clip would have been far more engaging had the female "Vulcan" been reciting her lines in the nude. Something to draw the attention away from the lines she was vomiting out.

That being said, and I hate to say it, I have seen far worse fan productions out there. There was one years ago where everything but the, and I use the term loosely, "actors", was done in green screen and was so bad you couldn't concentrate on anything else but the crappy effects.
 
I just feel sorry for the genuine actors who appear in shite like this.

I mean the main guy once got paid to act, now his is in a production that can't even shake the camera when his ship takes a hit.

They could do that in the 60s!
 
I would rather eat a dust-caked jar of green diarrhea and be soundly beaten with a lunchmeat truncheon than watch the rest of that excellently vile garbage. (I watched 3 seconds of it.)
 
Star Trek Continues is also very good. It perfectly captures the look and tone of the original series, it has genuinely interesting and thought provoking stories, and Vic Mignogna's portrayal of Kirk is so good you forget it isn't Shatner at times.

This thing's perfectly shite, though. It sounds like something I would've made in high school, but given up on after a few minutes and been too ashamed to even watch it myself let alone release it publicly. I do feel sorry for the actors who join in on these things. The creators of the shows are probably very enthusiastic and convincing and the actor only finds out what a load of old balls it is once he's there.
