Title: The Captains Edition: Standard Genre: Documentary Starring: William Shatner, Patrick Stewart, Scott Bakula, Chris Pine, Kate Mulgrew, Avery Brooks Director: William Shatner Studio: Entertainment One Runtime: 120 minutes Release Date: October 18, 2011 Format: DVD Discs: 1 Rating: ( )Grade: C+ Bouns Feature The making of The Captains TO BOLDLY GO: THE OUTCOME OF THE JOURNEY: One thing that I noticed while watching this documentary, which was not surprising in the least, was how quickly William Shatner was able to make a moment about himself. In fact it happens from the very start when he talks to the own of a plane that he just flew on where William Shatner is told that Star Trek inspired him to be in aeronautics, and very quickly Shatner says oh it was because of me that this man took this course in his life. It’s funny watching him talk to Patrick Stewart, an actor that has a very distinguished career, where Shatner seems to just be waiting to talk about himself. Which it seems like any and every chance that Shatner got he did talk about himself, his career, and what it was like for him. While talking about himself he also walked around different conventions giving a view of what it is like to be him as he walks through the throngs of fans who go ballistic when they see him.
Still, watching this was more fun than I thought it was going to be. Because William Shatner does his normal thing where it’s all about him that is one reason that this documentary was fun to watch, but getting to hear the stories that the other actors told was really interesting. Finding out that Scott Bakula is a singer as well as him saying that he was a fan of the original show when he was in college was something I never knew and it was interesting finding out. Though most of the interview time was used with Patrick Stewart and Scott Bakula, the little time given to Kate Mulgrew, Avery Brooks, and Chris Pine was enough to keep the documentary interesting. I might not have learned a lot about what it was like being a captain on the show but it was still interesting to listen to these actors talking. And it was cool and funny to watch Shatner walking around the crowds during some of the conventions. Even at a little over an hour and half long this documentary kept a good pace with the interviews making it fun to watch. |
