Starship Exeter: The Savage Empire (2002) HD online

Anybody who hated this Internet video missed the point. This is a fun little homage to American 60's culture, TOS Star Trek. That series was full of great 'cultural' themes and stories. It dared to ask the question: Should Earth's Federation culture be exported into other alien cultures? USS Exeter results are fun, as we have a group of Klingons stomping their way through the annihilation of Andoria, and the only people capable of stopping them are representatives of the Federation Way, the USS Exeter commander staff. They come to the rescue.

I've only seen this film twice, but it still makes me smile and I enjoy it and provides me with the satisfying entertainment. Exeter's decent production elements do not interfer with it's watch-ability, as with lesser Star Trek Fan videos out there on the Internet. I can suspend 'my belief' with ease! It's worth the download time! In short, say what you want about USS Exeter! If you don't enjoy it, that's not my problem.

The original Star Trek series may be outdated, may even look corny by today's standards, but I still love it!

This first episode of Starship Exeter has exactly that, a compelling story, acting that isn't all that bad, and an overall feel that honors the original Star Trek series in every way. In some ways Exeter looks better than New Voyages, some of the computerized special effects (in New Voyages) look like they'd be more at home in a computer game than a TV show. And what about the really badly done green-screening that fills Hidden Frontier (do they actually use any sets???). Yuk.

Who needs all those computer-game style special effects anyway??? There's nothing like some real sets for the actors to be positioned in, and a good quality model for the external shots. Sometimes the good old fashioned methods are still the best!

Good on you guys, a great effort.

Can't wait to see more...
