I was impressed with an AI upscale of this show, The CGI animation was much better than I had seen previously but unfortunately there was problems with syncing the green screen during the scenes on-ship.
There are some things that are pretty good in this, there are other things that are rather cheesy. But when you realize that this was a show made entirely by fans, some of them did fairly well. Some of them were funny, some of them just kind of barely were able to play their parts.
But where this is good, it is very good.
There is one scene involving a shape shifter and the captain of a ship called the Orion, which I believe is played by Director of this fan film, which is rather alarming but also very funny at the same time.
There are little chasers between the Jem Ha'dar and a Starfleet runabout in some very convincing looking astroids. Also a couple of full-scale space battle involving triple-nacelle Galaxy class ships.
There is even a federation bar which has Klingons working in it, and also one of those guys from "let that be your last battlefield" from TOS.
So they have their Star Trek continuity intact. The funniest thing are the representations of aliens like Zencathy and Jem Ha'dar soldiers and cardassians. It's like they all used the same 3-D printed masks, although they didn't have 3-D printing back then.
The thing that is amazing is the quality of the CGI performed with lightwave software. It is just as good as the CGI from shows that were on television at the time.
They have the AI upscale version of this on YouTube right now, it turned out rather well except for that problem with the green screen.
Some other Reviewer was talking about the problems that arose during the production of "Star Trek Axenar".
Although it is true that CBS has insisted on some new restrictions, some new fan productions have decided to ignore them. Case in point: "Star Trek Continues" which was started before the Axenar debacle, and continued production well beyond the new guidelines incident, providing about 12 full-length episodes of 50 minutes each, even including professional acting talent: for example the original actor who played Apollo in "Who mourns for Adonis?", as well as both Michael Dorn and Marina Sirtis as well as other actors that have been in Star Trek, including the daughter of the woman who played the Romulan commander in the enterprise incident. And Gigi Edgley from Farscape and Rekha Sharma from BSG and Discovery. And, the guy who was the pilot of the Riconante in "The Expanse".
And although other shows, like "Star Trek Renegades" unfortunately opted to drop the Star Trek references from their show, other shows have not, and most of the fan films that I have seen recently have kind of ignored the guidelines set by CBS. Most of these fan films are available in totality on YouTube.
