Review of Trekkies (1997) by Rob Ó — 14 Jan 2013
Trekkies is a great documentary and look at the oldest and most avid fandom, lent extra credibility by Star Trek: The Next Generation cast member Denise Crosby as host. We meet some figures that have stayed with its viewers, Trekkies or not, such as Barbara Adams and Gabriel Koerner, and we see some grassroots, sincere fan support for a show ahead of its time pre-widespread Internet age.
It is well put together, not belittling, and doesn't overdo anything, with a relatively short runtime of 86 minutes. All in all, a memorable piece of filmmaking.
