forster-80382 I find it interesting that a kick starter fan based production actually reflects the base of the Star Trek universe others have stated they cut corners, well with a limited budget they managed to attract a cast that would do justice to a full blown production. Of course there will be corners cut many characters could have been fleshed out but all in all a very enjoyable effort in what one might make an analysis Gene Roddenberry would have totally enjoyed this story. Take it for what it is and enjoy. There are to many critics that can not sit down and just derive pleasure from the event nit picking their ego's to that 15 minutes of fame they seem to think they deserve

Jan-Vissers-40-71213 After seeing the complete series of Star Trek + Movies, I wanted to see Star Trek Renegades as a treat... This movie is a complete travesty of the Star Trek saga. It has a cheap looking costumes, b-movie actors and ridiculous animation and special effects. I can't grasp that actors as Tim Russ and Walter Koenig wanted to be a part of this awful thing. I can't call this 'thing' a movie. It's not even a attempt to be good. This thing holds no respect for the Gene Roddenberry legacy, and the many fans -worldwide- of the Star Trek series and movies. People who made this sh*t, must be banned from Hollywood studios, or in the future won't come near any Star Trek material.

samgreer-694-680740 Days of our Lives plus V (the crappy '80s TV series) = this abomination. San Fran looks like a scene out of V 1984 in this movie. Is there a protagonist? Antagonist? IDK. Too many characters, too little plot. They boldly went where no one wanted to go. I never thought I'd be yearning for Chris Pine, but then I didn't think the bar for this franchise could be lowered any further. I guess this is like a 90 minute episode of that "Next Generation" garbage? Don't know exactly because I can't watch that show - it's so awful. This is equally horrible, so its probably pretty close. I'd love to tell you how it ended, but I didn't make it that far. I have no desire to know, you won't either. You'll be looking to transport out of this disaster.

zampino-2 Considering the budget, I was surprised that "Renegades" works well as part of the broader Star Trek canvas. It also presents an interesting concept that uses well-known references to the franchise in enjoyable ways. And last, it's good to see some well-known characters taking part. Kudos to the tenacity of everyone involved to make this project happen.That said, much in the story is rushed, unfinished or underdeveloped; I felt like the plot was trying too hard to establish a larger story, to the detriment of the story at hand. That shows potential for a series, but left a lot of lingering questions about how we got to the point that the story embarks from. Given the budget I'm not surprised that the dialog and character interaction is awkward, and I suspect a bigger budget with more time to develop characters and rewrite dialog would have made this feel more like a "real" Star Trek episode.The graphics and effects were quite good given the budget. Many scenes however were exaggerated, probably the worst being the battle of Singh and the alien big bad. This is as much a problem with the genre, as I see ridiculous battles that inexplicably play out in the protagonist's favor in too many shows. I don't see that as an excuse, and I hope more thought will be put into cause and effect if the series continue, which I hope it does.
