    Still great news, and nicely done adding the updates at the bottom, making it current for everyone!

    Can't wait to see what these guys bring out; After that 20 minute film they can consider me a fan.

    Thanks for the Article Flicky! This is certainly great news, I'm been a backers of there since Prelude to Axanar and I really believe the future of Trek as we knew it is through fan made projects like this. I believe the amount of money raise and the number of backers should also prove that point. I can't wait to see what they come up with.

    It is great to see the Axanar team get so much support. Prelude to Axanar really showed a level of professionalism which is usually reserved for major blockbuster debuts. What with the unexpected amount they raised, I'm expecting great things from Axanar and from the future projects which come out of Ares studios.

    Also, look at JG Hertzler in that header image. What a legendarily cool man.

    The prelude was nice to see but I'm not going to get carried away yet. Obviously I wish them every success and hope this will turn out to be good but a 20 minute 'documentary' is a long way from a full movie.

    The CGI was overall quite good, the acting was above average in most cases and the directing seemed good although with some of the talent involved and their experience you do have to wonder how much directing some of them needed.

    Despite those pluses there were a few little things that bugged me, whilst Prelude was there to demonstrate what they could do and to build interest they chose to do it as a historical documentary, I think they could have done a lot more with that, there was very little information about why the war started, the initial peace negotiations or much detail at all about the conflict, I think it focused too much on the characters in some cases unnecessarily.

    None of these are major gripes and I assume this was all as a result of the time constraints of only having 20 minutes and the balance of character and narrative was so heavily in favour of character to introduce the characters to the audience and not to take anything away from the final story by doing too much of the story telling in Prelude.

    Axanar should be good but I'm not going to let myself get too excited just yet.
