a5c7b9f00b Various retired leaders discuss their experiences of the Four Years War, a war between the Federation and the Klingons, and the build up to a battle at Axanar that caused a major turning point in the war. Prelude to Axanar is an independent project that discusses the war between the Federation and the Klingon Empire leading up to the Battle of Axanar. Figures from both sides discuss how the war began, how the Klingons were better prepared for war, how the Federation built their Starfleet, and how the war was fought from both the Federation and Klingon views. Robert April discusses building the USS Enterprise, Admiral Ramirez discusses building the Starfleet, Garth of Izar discusses his rise to fame, and the Klingon supreme warlord Kharn gives the Klingon view of the war. This film is what Star Trek was meant to be. On a Q&amp;A panel the director and producer explained thatthey made this film they kept asking themselves &quot;Would Gene Roddenberry Do This?&quot; and they made it true to Gene and true to Star Trek fans.<br/><br/>I like how they&#39;ve used the 2009 ships&#39; models and phaser mounts while fixing the exaggerated ship size and ridiculous out of proportion engines. Its wise to maintain some recognizable features from the latest films. On the other hand I would have liked to have seen the Fleet HQ, Dreadnought, Destroyer and Transport/Tug from the 1975 Star Trek Technical manual. Or even the Klingon Battleship from the &#39;90&#39;s Task Force Games Star Fleet Battles. This arms race could have been &quot;bigger&quot; but I see how that would have taken away from their &quot; We were explorers&quot; vein they are pursuing and their unveiling of the Constitution Class. Which is very cool.<br/><br/>Where JJ Abrams has turned Star Trek into an unintelligent, mass appeal action romp these guys succeed in bringing it back to its roots and I couldn&#39;t be more impressed or eager to share it with my friends who really care about Sci Fi. I can&#39;t wait for the feature film. I recently saw the trailer &quot;Prelude to Anaxar&quot; and I must say I am quite impressed with the quality of work, acting and the idea. <br/><br/>To have a work done with such a low budget that inspires , challenges and MOTIVATES us fans of Star Trek and this series could potentially create a new generation of Star Trek fans. I am quite sure of it. <br/><br/>This style of documentary type of anecdotal narration is quite ingenious in its simplicity and I do await with earnest anticipation , its full release <br/><br/>&quot;….go where no man has gone before…&quot; <br/><br/>Live long and prosper
