Star Trek fans will undoubtedly enjoy Shatner’s reminiscences about the movies that continue the Star Trek saga. Some may think he was a bit biased in his recollections, but it seems to me that he was pretty candid in his statements. He includes some self-deprecating humor, as well as talking about mistakes and things he would do over if he could. He has nice things to say about his costars, and never lays blame for failures on anyone. It’s a nice look into the problems that occurred on set, and how they dealt with script rewrites and budget and time constraints. All in all, it’s an informative look at the behind scenes on movie sets that most of us will never be privy to. Having the audio read by Shatner just made it all the more enjoyable. ( ) A behind-the-scenes look at six STAR TREK movies with William Shatner telling all from the set of the seventh film. Here are the stories, the turmoil, the chaos, the production mishaps . . . everything associated with the making of a Hollywood film fills the pages of this fascinating memoir. There are interviews, remembrances, stories, anecdotes, trivia, and more than one hundred never-before-seen photographs, all certain to intrigue and please STAR TREK’s many fans. Readers who can’t get enough of the USS Enterprise and her intrepid crew will find much to appreciate here. Highly recommended. Although I liked this book, it was not nearly as enjoyable or personal as his previous book “Star Trek Memories”. Mainly, he talked about all the different script ideas, studio politicking and production disasters involved in bringing the various Star Trek movies to the big screen. His rare spurts of personal reflection involved 1) his description of being unemployed and living out of his truck after the original series was cancelled – which I thought was touching, 2) a page and a half describing George Takei as a “nut” – which really turned me off (I think he was trying to be funny, but it fell flat) and 3) describing how he tried to patch things up with Walter Koenig and James Doohan on the set of Star Trek: Generations. Still, I found all the discarded story ideas and might-have-beens fascinating. Can you imagine how bad Star Trek IV would have been with Eddie Murphy starring as a nutty professor? It almost happened. I'm not even a Star Trek fan (but I do follow William Shatner on Google and find him intriguing) but I really enjoyed this book. To read about each Star Trek movie from Shatner's perspective was insightful and entertaining. Now, I'm seriously considering watching all movies with the original cast back-to-back. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
