I like it. The voice work and the production values are better than I expected even given the sample clips. Although, I do have one nitpick: the ISD was "close aboard" not "close a broad" :lol:

Phil! Cool, I'm glad you got to see it! About the nitpick: Damn! Hehehe!

I'm going to dive into part 2 this weekend. "Captain Kraft" still hasn't come through, so I may have to replace her.

Wow... cool... Do we get to see a Sovereign, or maybe even a Scimitar on the menu?

You'll definitely see the Sovereign, another Galaxy, and possibly a Nebula-class.

It's good, but sometimes the soundtrack and the dialogue are competing against each other. Like in the start with the Captain's Log, you sort of miss out on what the Captain is saying due to the music being a tad too loud.

Still, can't wait for more!

P.S. If you need another voice actor, I'd be glad to lend my pipes. :wink:

Hey, looks great! I enjoyed the hint of star destroyer at the end. And if you need another voice, I could do one, I think. :)
A Government founded upon justice, and recognizing the equal rights of all men; claiming higher authority for existence, or sanction for its laws, that nature, reason, and the regularly ascertained will of the people; steadily refusing to put its sword and purse in the service of any religious creed or family is a standing offense to most of the Governments of the world, and to some narrow and bigoted people among ourselves.

That was great, but short :( how long did it take?

Definitely agree with the limited view of the SSD as a teaser.

Nice, although the whole not-showing-the-Star-Destroyer thing seemed a bit artificial. Apart from the fact that pretty much everyone watching the video will already know what a Star Destroyer looks like and will be expecting one due to the fact that it says "Ultimate Star Wars vs. Star Trek Movie" right in the title, I can't think of a single episode of Star Trek where the order to place an object "on screen" wasn't immediately followed by a cut to the main viewscreen, so the lack of one here seemed a bit jarring.

Perhaps if the space-rift thing had some sort of nebula or interferance zone surrounding it so that the crew couldn't get a clear picture of the unknown ship until it started firing on them it would have felt a bit more natural.

Still a cool movie, though, and I'm looking forward to part 2.

I'd also volunteer as a voice actor and i'm sure the rest of the EBC can provide the appropriate english accents needed for an imperial crew.

I thought it was pretty good; however, the voice overs leave alot to be desired.(sounded like they were reading from a script.)

I loved Elfdart's voice. If he were to focus, I think he could do voice acting for Will Riker.

That's kind of who I was imitating. Not the voice so much, but the way he gives orders. I thought about doing a Shatner but my Shatner isn't very good and that would be pretty hokey.

Regarding the stars, I didn't see any during the movie either.

I think you should have version one for sub-light scenes although it does keep on having the jarring effect of having voids where stars should be when the Enterprise moves. Version two looked real bright and didn't seem to be part of the background at all in sub-light. It looks good while in warp though as the streams bog them down nicely.

I would like to be a voice actor too although I'm not sure if you'd need a voice that sounds like Gandalf in the Zombie flick. :P
I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro's great stumbling block in his stride toward freedom is not the White Citizen's Counciler or the Ku Klux Klanner, but the white moderate, who is more devoted to "order" than to justice; who constantly says: "I agree with you in the goal you seek, but I cannot agree with your methods of direct action"; who paternalistically believes he can set the timetable for another man's freedom; who lives by a mythical concept of time and who constantly advises the Negro to wait for a "more convenient season."

Are you telling me that The Morons That Be* can do stars while you can't?
And that was mostly a FYI. Relax, Wayne.
