Review of The Captains (2011) by Andrei D — 12 May 2012
Obviously, your enjoyment of this documentary depends on how much you love Star Trek and since I LOVE STAR TREK I seriously enjoyed this weird scramble of interviews starring everyone's favorite Captains (including Star Trek VI's Christopher Plummer, but not Star Trek VI's George Takai).
It's loads of fun even when its incredibly awkward with the mellow jazz philosophy of Avery Brooks or Shatner's own thematic question steering. The best bits involve Patrick Stewart and Scott Bakula opening up about job vs.
family--for brief moments some serious stuff gets discussed, and the rest of it is just light, frothy Trekkie fun. Sure, it's a all ego. But what else do you expect from The Shat. VF.
