Summary: Worst DVD I've ever seen
Review: I'm surprised to see so many favorable comments on this insipid DVD. I thought it was a total waste of my money, 17 minutes of sheer stupidity (that's right, a 17-minute movie for the price of a full-length feature). There's nothing clever about this so-called parody, and barely anything that's even halfway funny. A Star Trek parody is a wonderful idea, but this idea fails miserably in its execution.
Don't waste your money on this DVD.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Short but Sweet
Review: Short but sweet would be the ideal way to describe the very funny Star Trek parody RODDENBERRY ON PATROL.

Directed by Tim Russ this delightful short film features a who's who of Star Trek talent: Walter Koenig, Nichelle Nichols, George Takei, Robert Beltran, Bob Picardo, Ethan Phillips, Robert O'Reilly, Tim Russ and Richard Herd.

When most people hear the word parody they usually think really obvious in your face humor. RODDENBERRY ON PATROL is much wittier than your average parody and the production values are outstanding. The fantastic writing of Tom Mason and Dan Danko is clever and subtle. It's the kind of droll good-natured humor that never grows old. This is a film you'll watch again and again, a must for every fans DVD library.

Summary: Fun to watch...but not original
Review: The cast of Star Trek salute Gene Roddneberry's life as a policeman seeking inspiration for a sci-fi series he's writing. The story is vaguely similar to "George Lucas In Love" and I am surprised no one got sued.

It has it's fun moments. The outakes are hilarious though.

Summary: Star Trek fans will love this!
Review: This is a very funny parody of how the "Great Bird of the Galaxy" came up with some of his ideas for Star Trek. Extremely good production values and surprise appearances by folks like Nichelle Nichols, Walter Koenig, Robert Picardo, Robert Beltran, and Ethan Phillips (who is hilarious), as well as director Tim Russ (and the familiar voice of George Takei at the end). The DVD also comes with a very strange short film called "Life 2.0" that's very Twilight Zone in flavor, as well as outtakes from "Roddenberry on Patrol." A nice tribute.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Make another one but longer
Review: This movie takes Star Trek to a new level! Just when you thought this franchise was almost dead someone comes up with a fresh and funny story. The only thing that I found wrong with this movie is it should have been a full length feature. The outtakes were just as good as the movie. I hope we see more from these guys. Paramount should hire these guys to do Enterprise it would be allot better.

Summary: Loved It!!!!
Review: This was a great DVD and the writing was very clever. Every time I watch it, I catch a new joke or Star Trek reference that I missed. It was great seeing so many Star Trek actors participate in the filming; it really added something special. Ethan Phillips scene was hysterical and the ending was perfect! I especially enjoyed how they incorporated the star trek music and star trek sounds into the scenes. The outtakes were as funny as the DVD. Even my husband who is not a star trek fan enjoyed it. Great tribute to the Great Bird of the Galaxy. Very enjoyable and entertaining; I highly recommend.
