This is the independent feature film Star Trek First Frontier. Feel free to download and save the film. It's impossible to tell if the powers that be are going to allow you to enjoy this, or have it removed. Hopefully, they will see a value in allowing the fans their own creative outlets in the fan films. After all, we chose Star Trek to create, it's a compliment. We were in production before the "guidelines" were announced and understand we have been "grandfathered" in, with that understanding. Please share the link with as many as you can. Please visit the Star Trek First Frontier Facebook page by searching FB for "Star Trek First Frontier".
This is the story of the initial launching of the Starship USS Enterprise NCC-1701 under the command of Captain Robert April with his wife, Commander Sarah April, the ship's first Chief Medical Officer. It's the story of a starship that needs a Captain, and a Captain that needs a starship.

Extreme special attention to following established Star Trek canon was shown. Our intent was to add to Star Trek, not to change it. It's not ours to change. The film was made in good faith and with adoration for Star Trek.
We did our absolute best to deliver a visual experience worthy of anything bearing the name Star Trek. There are moments in the film where the visual effects may be slightly insufficient but hopefully, never distracting. I tried to eliminate any element that would remove your verisimilitude while watching. I also know of the limitations in audio in some places.
I planned to fix everything before release but the quarantine has us hit hard financially, I did what I could, I just didn't have the funds any more, having paid for the entire film myself.
The issues will be fixed soon for the Director's Edition.
Please forgive any shortcomings.
Please note: This may not appeal to you. If you would like to leave an intelligent comment as to why, please do. I am confident enough to absorb and evaluate criticism.
If you leave a hurtful, disparaging or insulting remark, I will delete it for no other reason than because I have no respect for you. This movie cost you nothing to watch but time and if you are sending me hate for it, you're probably not the type of person who is doing anything useful with that time anyway. Star Trek is about encouraging others and building them up, not taking joy in tearing them down.
For those who dislike stories set in the original series timeline, I would kindly remind you that you have at least three television series at 7 seasons each (21 seasons) set in the future timelines, The Original Series only had 5 Seasons (I count the Animated Series) and the movies. There's room for more stories here.
To those Star Trek fans who have been so incredibly kind, thank you for your encouragement and your love. Your positivity far outweighs the negative . I appreciate you immensely because I am one of you. LLAP - Kenny

Am so glad that a live-action adaptation of the initial voyage of the USS Enterprise NCC-1701 under the command of Captain Robert M. April has FINALLY been produced and released! I love it! This recent era has been a very good one for classic, traditional Star Trek! Let's hope that this motion picture can serve as a pilot for an all-new series that centers on the first five-year mission of the USS Enterprise because this is the type of material that Star Trek enthusiasts have been awaiting for over half a century! Here's to FINAL FRONTIER! 🙂 P. S. It was also good to watch the USS Constitution (the first of the Constitution Class starships) in action!

Hey! Thank you for your generous comments! Captain April has fascinated me since I was a kid when I saw him on Star Trek: The Animated Series. I didn't think that I would ever see this story if I didn't make it myself lol. That's awesome that you noticed the USS Constitution, NCC-1700. You definitely know your Star Trek trivia and history! I'm glad you were able to connect with the film. Please feel free to send me any questions that you may have from the movie.

@Discodoggie True, Kirk did speak of how Pike and others had to see hundreds die due to accidents with basic systems that were now used without though or hesitation of what would or could happen if they failed. Engines exploding, crashes during docking, hulls collapsing from rapid pressure loss, plauges, people burning alive in space, finding dead crews or outposts, etc. "Nasty stuff, Jim. I don't envy Your new job as Captain. Sometimes New Life might be better left undiscovered until we are ready for it." - Pike "Sir, I'm not sure we ever will be. I'm just going to have try to keep us alive until the next shift." - Kirk (Untold Stories from Spacedock)

I'm only 20 minutes into this and love it. Someone commented what these people could do with a CBS budget. Why doesn't CBS stop working so hard to rewrite Trek and hire some of these people that are essentially working for free out of their homes pouring their hearts into these films. You could probably make a series or movie for half as much and be twice as profitable. There's a whole community out there waiting to pay to see real Trek again. Episodes that have depth and not just big action sequences with forgettable characters. Different series that build on each other and grow new characters and stories that are memorable (The Drumhead comes to mind).

It was tpo futurist for them.

@Tony Lewis The agreement was between CBS and the makers of Axanar to avoid going to court. CBS said this applied to all fan films. But up until now no one has called them out. The people from CBS who brought the lawsuit are gone now because of the failure of STD and STP. The worse that can happen is CBS takes them to court. But CBS would have to claim that they are suffering a loss or that the makers of First Frontier are profiting off Star Trek. In the case of Axanar, they used private funding to build sets and a sound stage. Then they rented use of that sound stage for other productions. Technically they were profiting off Star Trek. But in their defense they were trying to raise money to off set the costs of producing Axanar. I don't think CBS is going to rock the boat on this one. But it will be interesting to see how all of this plays out.

This movie captures the heart of what made Star Trek: The Original Series so good, updating the human mindset 50 years or so, to make a really compelling story. While I get attempting to be true to the original show, The Next Generation really got it right sending the first officer, rather than the captain, into harm's way. It would have been nice to make that correction. The technology, of course, is limited, but that is not nearly as important as getting the screenplay right. Bravo for an unbelievably good job for a FanFiction effort. If nothing else, maybe it will help inspire better future productions. For now, it is just pure joy to watch. Excellent!

Good to see Corbin playing Robert April's father. He's always played some great characters in other shows. This show has some top notch acting to go with the story. Well made and that signature "Motion Picture" soundtrack still gives me goosebumps when hearing it. The placement of that song and the beauty pass of the shuttle when April was coming aboard the Enterprise, reminds me of the one from the motion picture. I'm sure they paid homage to with similar scene being placed in this wonderful movie. This is something that should be a top film even if it's independently produced.

As a Star Trek fan every since the late 60's I enjoyed this Movie immensely. It really has the feel of the original Star Trek series. I only have one gripe with this movie and that is the sound level variance between the characters speaking and the special effects. When listening through an amplified surround sound system and setting the volume for the characters, then a special effect like a explosion happens and the volume of it makes you jump out of your skin. It's very fun to watch the kids jump when that happens but I'm not sure that the neighbors feel the same.

Star Trek and Star Wars both deserve better they are both iconic franchises. They both have ment so much to so many. We can only hope that Someday and let’s hope soon, someone comes to power at CBS or Disney Who are true fans of the franchises & Hopefully Put them back where they belong. Put the focus where it should have been all along. where it once was. And where it should be going forward. The focus should be on good stories. The focus should be on the fans. The focus should be staying true to the source materials.The focus for Star Trek should be on the utopian future that it’s creator envisioned. We may never reach that. But we should strive for it. Live long and prosper.

Dickum N Lickum the V: Emperor Of KZfaq. Unless what the fans want is a good story. With well rounded and written characters. Characters with depth and reality. Not characters like Rey or Michael Burnham. Each character is either from Star Wars or Star Trek and are both shallow, not well written, bad characters. With Star Trek and the so-called offerings that are out there are just not what the franchise was based on. I know franchises grow and change over the years. Unfortunately Star Trek and Star Wars both have changed but not for the better. An example of a show/movie that has done it right is cobra Kai. Based on and containing Some of the original characters from the karate kid. This is a show that’s done well. It stays true to its source material. It respects his source material while at the same time introducing new characters and building on the narrative of the story. He has a good story writing. Good actress, and is done extremely well. Star Trek and Star Wars both can learn from this show.

You have reinforced that Star Trek isn't about cool effects - it's about US. It's about people. The story is well thought out, the script is strong, and the acting, overall, is very good (Holy cow! Barry Corbin!). I confess, I was genuinely moved hearing Ms. Nichols'' opening narration. Wet eyes and everything. And again, seeing the virginal Enterprise. And again at the end. You've done, with a shoestring budget, what Kurtzman and Abrams couldn't do with hundreds of millions of space-bucks. I salute you, your crew, and your cast. Live long, and prosper. Or, as Mr. Scott might say, "Good on ya, laddie." Please, PLEASE make more of this. This is what Trek fans want.

It took me a while to realize that this is not a real Hollywood movie, so you can't get a better compliment than that. The opening credits and scenes were very enjoyable. I actually felt like they would be incredible on the big screen. I think what tipped me off (my suspicion anyway) is the small difference in some of the dialogue. I think the creator had very strict guidelines on how the dialogue could be used. It seems like the conflict between characters was a little off limits. It was too realistic and aggressive in parts. I think conflict is more controlled and polite in the movies. But I can't really explain it. It's a controlled formula with many rules so it's almost impossible to follow them all outside of the original creators controls. But that is the only reason I could tell it wasn't from the studio.

Never let a studio convince you to work for them unless they are 100% willing to give you every bit of artistic freedom you need to make things like this.

This film is one of the best immersions into the TrekVerse a fan can experience. You bring the wonder, excitement and - lets face it - the nerd factor that Gene gave us in TOS.

As a ST-TOS Fan for more than 50 years, I can say THIS is what I kept hoping Star Trek would become and remain like in terms of story telling. this is some great stuff.

I'm a old fan. Watch many episodes in black and white. If politicians would quit squabbling we would be in space now. Space X has a new fan of mine.

So… you expected Star Trek to look and sound the same for 50 years?

A worthy addition to the Star Trek mission log. Very much in line with the original series. I was 10 years old when the Enterprise started it's 5 year mission right in the middle of the race to the moon.

I remember watching Star Trek when it first started airing... I remember thinking that this will happen someday! I still believe that we will be out there among the stars on a 5-year mission. Thank you to all who made this show possible.
