Mind Meld: Secrets Behind the Voyage of a Lifetime
November. 06,2001 NRAn unprecedented examination of the impact the Star Trek experience has had on the franchise's most celebrated participants: William Shatner and Leonard Nimoy. These two stars have arguably embodied the brightest icons in the sci-fi universe; Shatner as passionate Captain James T. Kirk, and Nimoy as logical-minded, half Vulcan Mr. Spock.

Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.
A film with more than the usual spoiler issues. Talking about it in any detail feels akin to handing you a gift-wrapped present and saying, "I hope you like it -- It's a thriller about a diabolical secret experiment."
The joyful confection is coated in a sparkly gloss, bright enough to gleam from the darkest, most cynical corners.
Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.
I am a huge fan of Star Trek the original series.If you are not, you will likely find this documentary pretty boring and a bit pointless.This is more about Shatner and Nemoy and their personal life and outlooks and how star trek effected them.. then actually about star trek the TV show.It is well done and very interesting,and we get a glimpse of the inside of Nemoys home.The DVD has a few nice extras on it including "the making of"Worth watching if you like this sort of thing,and you definitely learn a thing or two about the pair, ex specially Nemoy,he seems more open and sincere.Well made.
I first want to admit that I am a big fan of Star Trek. As a fan, I appreciated the format of a one on one interview between Leonard Nimoy and William Shatner. This probably wouldn't have been as interesting to me if it wouldn't have been for the fact that both actors are over 70 years old now and they had a lot to say. It might have been nice if a 3rd party would have been involved in the questioning process, but all in all, I enjoyed it very much and have watched it twice now.Shatner's reflecting back to an episode of Star Trek (Devil in the Dark) and Nimoy's reaction to Shatner's memory of the incident was very amusing and reminded me of a simular situation I'd shared with a friend recently.This is no doubt focused on the memory of Star Trek to these two lead actors of The Original Series. Of the documentaries on the series, this was definately the best of the bunch. If your a moderate fan of Star Trek, rent it if you can find it. If your a big fan, this is a must have to add to your collection.
At first I thought, Who came up with this bright idea? Take two people -- who've know each other for almost forty years, mind you -- and sit them down next to each other for about an hour while the camera is running.As banal and perfunctory as it sounds in theory, in practice, the concept works -- largely because the clash of the two personalities is (as Mr. Spock would say) fascinating. Indeed, it is a clash; Shatner and Nimoy couldn't be more different. Yes, they were born four days apart -- as we find out at the beginning of the film -- and their careers following similar arcs, but their professional concerns and personal problems diverged radically. Nimoy, the actor's actor, and Shater, the comedian, approached the roles from different perspectives. Their Trek journeys, although documented in more detail elsewhere, are discussed with benefit of age-weary hindsight.This film is very entertaining, intriguing in parts, and always interesting. For Trekkers, what more could you want?
In this one-on-one documentary, with William Shatner interviewing Leonard Nimoy, the two legends reveal the struggles and adventures they have experienced because of their work on Star Trek. The two share their personal demons and hardships in this production, which was shot at Nimoy's Los Angeles home. Nimoy's home was the perfect setting with lush gardens and an office adorned with rare personal photographs and star trek memorabilia - any fans dream! Most of all they reveal their incredible bond and the friendship that has lasted almost four decades. This candid interview between Captain Kirk and Mr. Spock is a necessity for all star trek fans!
