Starship Exeter: The Savage Empire (2002)
I fan show that looks good enough to be the real thing!
The original Star Trek series may be outdated, may even look corny by today's standards, but I still love it!
This first episode of Starship Exeter has exactly that, a compelling story, acting that isn't all that bad, and an overall feel that honors the original Star Trek series in every way. In some ways Exeter looks better than New Voyages, some of the computerized special effects (in New Voyages) look like they'd be more at home in a computer game than a TV show. And what about the really badly done green-screening that fills Hidden Frontier (do they actually use any sets???). Yuk.
Who needs all those computer-game style special effects anyway??? There's nothing like some real sets for the actors to be positioned in, and a good quality model for the external shots. Sometimes the good old fashioned methods are still the best!
Good on you guys, a great effort.
Can't wait to see more...
