Viewing Notes

The actual Axanar film is going into production soon, so I’ll have to settle for re-watching this documentary style look at the events leading up to the Battle of Axanar.  Set 17 years before Kirk would take over as Captain of the Enterprise, this well-produced, well cast and visually amazing fan production tells some of the events of the Four Years War, the war between the Klingons and the Federation.  Told through several key players in the war as a sort of history lesson coupled with some amazing effects shots to drive the stories home, this has to be one of my favorite fan productions so far.
