| Trekkies Review |
| by Marty Mapes |
| ***1/2 (out of 4) TREKKIES is one of the funniest movies of the year,
but it's not a comedy. It's a documentary about the fans of STAR TREK
who are fanatical, loyal, optimistic, and just a little crazy. more |

| I can’t remember ever having laughed so hard at any movie...
let alone a documentary. Not that the film mocks Trekkies.
That would be cruel, as well as quite unnecessary Plus it
would be counterproductive to the filmmaker’s intent. What
was done was...more |

| Susan Granger's review of "TREKKIES" (Paramount Pictures)
I confess: I am a "Star Trek" fan. I tape "Deep Space Nine"
and "Voyager" when I can't be home. I even had a bit part in a "Star
Trek" movie. But my enjoyment of this sci-fi series is...more |

| I wonder if the majority of Star Trek fans have an intense dislike for
Star Wars. Those Star Wars fanatics have been labeled as the most daring
and the most idolatrous of them all, mainly because of their standing in

| The most indelible image of the news coverage of the hoopla surrounding
_The_Phantom_Menace_'s opening was not the many people in line dressed up

| I used to be able to say, "I love Star Trek." Back then, you could
say that and everyone would know what you were talking about. These

| Roger Nygard’s hysterical documentary about the fans of Star Trek can be
summed up in one scene, where one aficionado describes the growing
popularity of his annual Trek party by proudly stating that “This year,

| TREKKIES, Roger Nygard's energetic and hilarious documentary,
brings viewers into the world of the Star Trek conventions. The beauty
of the film is that it is good old fashion fun for Trekkies and
