I lived near a SAC base during the 80s, and when the wind was blowing the right direction, I could hear the alert klaxon from the base. Then a stream of B-52s would lumber skyward, engines trailing black smoke.

More than a few times when this happened I wondered if Reagan had pushed the button and I was now 15 minutes from being vaporized.

Wow.. so.. a lot of good.. a lot of bad. Actor performances and writing were all over the board. The seasoned actors were all awesome, and sean young who at first seamed out of place turned out a wonderful performance as Dr Lucien and a hopeful character. The space sequences were numerous and well done with great ship models. Pyrotechnics were kept minimal as those are still hard to do in style in CG so its best to keep it good or keep it out.

The bad how ever. The klaxon mining facility was just all kinds of horribleness. The bad layering, the over the top and ridiculous amounts of shooting flames, and the cherry on the top is the introduction to the main bad guy race with their mask straight out of planet of the apes. I seriously can't believe someone though those were a go for filming. Also most of the planet intro scenes are more of a neo electro artistic style rather than something that looks real. This is a bit surprising since I would think the "animated paintings" from enterprise and voyager era would have been pretty low cost. The worst of the performances is by Crystal Conway, chekovs great great grand daughter.

Writing was also up and down. I think the story was ok with 2 general sins being committed. #1 a little to much backstory stuffed into the first 30 minutes. Icheb's borg roots were uncomfortably recited in a full scene in front of his own crew who would have already known this, and should have instead been a few lines to say he was a borg and then leaving his origin story for a later date. And #2, a lot of plot points like the doorway placed on earth ahead of time and being able to transport through the time distortion seem awfully convenient and tries to absolve the episode from going any farther in complexity. This is a pretty big sin when you consider these need to be %90 self contained episodes. Also it seems no matter how bad you are or how much of an outlaw you are, finding you in the star trek universe is one scene away. I do have to give props to Corin Nemec as the captain of the other ship. His crew is actually pretty bad but I liked him. I was sad to see his script called for more shooting and less investigating. Also I feel bad for the horrible looking bridge set they built him.

Still in the end, I am a big supporter for more star trek. I loved voyager and I think the renegade crew is actually in good shape. Lexxa, is not BAD but needs more work. Like another comment I read, she doesn't seem very smart about anything, no hidden talents. Her fighting is pretty horrible and scripted, and while she pulls the bad girl image off, she lacks the muscle or fancy footwork to look like she could actually hold her own physically.

Ronara was largely forgettable and suffered from the same origin scene stuffing scene sin as Icheb. Chekovs 2 girls on the other hand look like good additions and I think they pulled the female andorian well. Nothing dramatic in their acting but at this point, not sucking is a good thing.

Unfortunately who knows how many years till we see eps 2. I seem to recall this one finished its kickstarter long ago but delayed heavily.

I'm open to arguments to the contrary. Here's my position. This belongs in the *terrible channel.

As in: "who greenlighted this turd?!?" Rick Perry did, that's who. And if he sincerely believes that the people he wishes to lead will be easily sucked in by images of the incumbent juxtaposed with images of empty warehouses and rain, and the sounds of alarms (seriously, watch again and listen - klaxons signal our impending doom under the current administration)... if he believes that, then our political landscape is far more bleak than a shopping mall in whatever zombie flick this trailer was lifted from.

No one with more than ten percent of a brain can watch this and not cringe and/or feel embarrassed for the producers, actors, and other participants. That, to me... defines "terrible" on many levels.

Your comment just made my year! holy shit that's funny.

And ensure you have a klaxon constantly wailing from somewhere in your clothes
And have a blinding revolving light strapped to your head
And be armed with a semi-automatic handgun in case you are set upon by banshees or werewolves.
And perhaps don't go out at all but just yell 'trick or treat' from your doorstep.
Actually that might carry the risk of being shot from afar, so do it from inside... via a megaphone
And then if you do get any candy, well, don't eat that it might be poisoned.
In fact what the hell are you doing up so late anyway, get back to bed.

One of the best games back in the day was Star Raiders on the Atari 800. Hyperspacing from sector to sector to chase down enemy ships and refueling/repairing at the stations was very cool. The sound of the klaxon...

I used to live/work on a small isolated island and there was a sea otter living in a crack above the waterline. These critters are amazing. One dawn the twelve (yes, twelve) resident cats were stalking the otter from three directions. She kept munching her oyster until the flanking cats crossed her invisible 'line in the sand'. The noise that came out of the otter was SO LOUD and surprising...I dropped my beer. Imagine walking past an elderly lady and having an air-raid klaxon suddenly go off.

Great tune too.

Too bad... Someone should mash this up with Drama King as the evil prison warden (with accompanying klaxons, of course).

I love Klaxons, I nearly submitted this myself.

And that should say Magick in the title.
