The stars of a 1970s sci-fi show -- now scraping a living through re-runs and sci-fi conventions are beamed aboard an alien spacecraft. Believing the cast's heroic on-screen dramas are historical documents of real-life adventures, the band of aliens turn to the ailing celebrities for help in their quest to overcome the oppressive regime in their solar system.

Critics Consensus

Intelligent and humorous satire with an excellent cast -- no previous Trekkie knowledge needed to enjoy this one.

Joe Clay

Times (UK)

The washed-up cast of a beloved TV space show, clearly based on Star Trek, are recruited by gullible extraterrestrials to fight a genuine alien war in this lightweight but enjoyable spoof.

The Verge

It's a warm, appealing comedy filled with well-realized characters and jokes ranging from the wry to the slapstick-y.

Jason Caro

Radio Times

Cleverly executed and the characters so beautifully fleshed-out that it not only succeeds as a Trek spoof, a satire on the acting profession and a parody of science-fiction fans, but also as an engaging, original space saga in its own right.

Rated: 5/5

Michael Clark

Epoch Times

The ending keeps open the possibility of a sequel alive but, with the death of Rickman, all speculation of any desired sequel ceased. Allen was open to another installment and showed a great deal of class by stating it would never happen without Rickman.

Rated: 4.5/5

Everything is Horrible (Substack)

The Thermian's didn't exactly get the real thing, but what they got isn't bad.

Oh my, words can’t explain what must be said. This glorious masterpiece of art has moved and inspired generations. The concepts displayed in this film are compelling and lead you to believe once again like you did as a child, that if you “NEVER SURRENDER, NEVER GIVE UP” anything is possible.

Deftness and a good bunch of actors; however, it it was a bit silly, without the big laughs for me. A good one for kids though.
