Star Trek fans can’t get sufficient of their favorite show. There are ten previous movies with a high profile, $160 million new plan on the way, 600 TV episodes, a gazillion novels and a lot of comics. And yet, fans even want more – so they make their own Star Trek. Filmed with high resolution digital cameras on reliable looking replica sets, Star Trek: Phase II (previously known as New Voyages) takes over where the original Star Trek ended – co-opting the name that Gene Roddenberry chose for his failed shot to renew the original series on the small screen. Playing out the archetypal fan fantasy, a plucky bunch of Trek-nerds recast themselves as their Sci-Fi heroes, facing the same jeopardy, saying the same lines, dressed in the same velour.
