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!

Your reaction to this program is going to depend on your affection for these two performers and the iconic characters they've portrayed over nearly thirty five years. I've never been to a Star Trek convention ("not that there's anything wrong with that"), and I was late coming to the original series. Still I was fascinated, moved and totally absorbed in listening to and watching these two men interact. For fans of the series and/or movies this is quite a gift. Both Shatner and Nimoy are very articulate, and their conversation covers a broad range of topics relating to both their personal and professional lives. This video taped conversation takes place in the back yard of Nimoy's home and, briefly, in his den. The affection and respect that these two men share for each other is very apparent. I highly recommend this program to those who appreciate Star Trek in its many incarnations, and to those who admire the work of William Shatner and L
