The brilliant 20-minute short movie that became (in)famous for its superb cast and storytelling, Axanar began the tale of the Four Years War between the Federation and the Klingon Empire. Not to be missed!
Prelude to Axanar is the first real piece of Star Trek to come out since the penultimate episode of Star Trek: Enterprise 10 years ago. It has a great trek-worthy storyline and magnificent acting, and the special effects are great! I also greatly enjoyed the numerous “easter eggs” hidden throughout the film.
The quality is nothing like Star Trek: Into Darkness, which was just a mindless action flick intended for today’s unenlightened audience. Prelude to Axanar is a thought-provoking Star Trek that visionary Gene Roddenberry himself would have been proud of.
The fact that Prelude to Axanar is an independent production (commonly referred to as a fan film) did not derail the production at all. The teams at Axanar Productions did a fantastic job of making the movie just as good, if not even better than, any “professional” production, and I have that in quotations because this was made professionally just like any other movie.
I highly recommended watching Prelude to Axanar, which is only twenty minutes long. See for yourself whether or not you like it. It’s free and extraordinary; you’ll love it.
