Prelude to Axanar (2014)
Prelude to TREK Greatness!
Prelude to Axanar is nothing less than the greatest Star Trek fan film I have ever seen! There are so many things that Axanar deserves praise for, it's hard to trim down the list. The cast is brilliant. Consisting of Tony Todd, Kate Vernon and the great J.G. Hertzler, this alone would be enough to merit praise. But, add Gary Graham and Alec Peters as Garth of Izar, and you open the door to stellar performances! Vernon, Peters and company NAIL their performances and watching, it's hard to believe that this is a fan film! Alexander Bornstein provides an epic score. Tobias Richter provides the VFX for this film and they make Hollywood look lame! Watch "Prelude to Axanar" and experience TREK as it was meant to be.
But, hold on, there's more! Notice the word 'Prelude', in the title? This short is the lead in for the feature film, "Star Trek: Axanar" which takes place in the last year of the Four Years War, the Federation's conflict with the Klingons. Axanar is a crowd funded film, a true film accomplishment.

This Was AWFUL!
The story could have been great. The acting saw that this did not happen. How I sat through the whole episode is beyond me. Anthony Head was clearly phoning it in with an atrocious American accent. Even Buffy would have staked him for that dead performance. The pilot itself made things way more complicated than they had to be. Castes, arranged marriages, resentful offspring and clandestine angel spies. What the hell were you guys thinking? And now...angels without bodies who can possess humans and wreak havoc that way. Sounds a lot like demons in Gabriel's control. So, wait...he's the new Lucifer? Argh. The whole damned thing made my head hurt. Jeep dies, although you barely recognize the character from Legion. Giles is a dick and the Savior is a love struck school boy, who happens to be in the Army. In Las Vegas. With tattoos that send him messages only HE can read. DROP THE FRIGGIN' MIC.
Dragonwasps (2012)
Just How Bad Is It?
The pain begins immediately. The two lead actresses, they're equally bad, deliver wooden, flat lines that Ben Stein would raise an eyebrow to. Neither are really beauty queens, so they're pretty screwed either way they go. Corin Nemec phoned this one in, as well. That, coming from the star of "Mansquito", was really not a surprise either.
The whole plot? Well, it was just badly written, let's say. Military men behave a certain way, their actions in the movie, wasn't it. The CGI wasps were ridiculous and the mere fact that they could breathe fire was almost more than I could stand. The only good thing was that Cocaine, go figure, could dissuade them from attacking you. Right. Someone did some cocaine when they wrote this garbage.
The whole voodoo/drug runner subplot was laughable. Yeah...you read it right. Let that sink in...voodoo/drug runner. Starting to get the idea, aren't ya? The only reason this got a '1' was because I could not give it a zero. That's my review. Take it or leave it.
