Star Trek Horizon

Post by DarthPooky »

There's a new star trek fan film called you guessed it Star Trek Horizon. It has been recently released and is on YouTube. I'm curios to hear anyone's opinions on it. I haven't watched it yet but plan to. Hears the trailer.



Hears the full film.

18 seconds in to the trailer i turned it off. Shitty acting, shitty script, shitty blue screen. Blah blah.

Not bad, not outstanding, but as fan works go, it could have been much, much worse. Quality-wise, it's comparable to Star Trek Phoenix's only episode(so far), and better than say, Starship Excalibur, Starship Farragut, any of the Hidden Frontier works, or the utter mess that is the Star Trek Romulan Wars series.

Let him not breed in great numbers, for he will make a desert of his home and yours. Shun him, drive him back into his jungle lair, for he is the harbinger of Death.."

Ok so I finally got around to watching it a reaction is :? Didn't much care for it And I agree that the acting was off. However I'm always impressed by the level of special-effects these newer fan films have I don't generally expect something made outside of a big Hollywood studio to have CG that could qualify for TV. The thing that made me go hu? was that they had phaser compression rifles and try cobalt weapons when we've only seen those in Canon during the 24th century but the movies not Canon anyway so who cares :roll: . Oh and what's with so much spinning camera work by the way.

were they named or just had the same effect as ENT had (presumebly) phase rifles with pulse shots for the MACO as for the Tricobalt was that demo charge Voyager used to take out the caretaker so it could simply be that there hadn't been situations in the series where they needed demolition charges before VOY.

Tri-cobalt devices were first mentioned in canon in the 23d century, when Anon 7 casually tells Kirk and company that a simulated tri-cobalt device just killed the Enterprise, so Kirk and crew have to march into the disintegration chambers like good little boys and girls(TOS: "A Taste Of Armageddon").

I just didn't think he'd be another Nero, out for revenge for what Spock failed to do. I was thinking he'd be Suliban.

Except those times they had to blow up asteroids and large moons :)
