*Spoiler/plot- Trek Nation, 2010. A journey of exploration, discovery, and realization for a young man who never really knew his father, his work, or legacy.
*Special Stars- Rod Roddenberry, Majel Barret Roddenberry
*Theme- Spoiled sons of TV moguls often mature to adulthood and only then realized they have missed out on family matters.
*Trivia/location/goofs- Documentary,
*Emotion- I prejudged this film to be some silly white-wash further canonization of Gene by his son. There is some of that which is boring in this film and that has been done to death by the studio PR departments, the fans, and the media, already. However Rod did explore the many flaws his father had with his close relationships with women, actresses, and the Hollywood scene. I enjoyed a balanced coverage of the good with bad. It should have made the subject more interesting and human instead of the cartoons most Star Trek fans have in their limited perceptions. Also Rod spoke to George Lucas about science fiction writing and project production during the time of the 70's. That was very enlightening and informative. The same interview exposed the meaningless debate of fanboy sci-fi fans 'Ad Nasuem' have between Star Wars VS Star Trek. Mr. Lucas and Rod Roddenberry saw such things as totally selfish, masturbatory, fictional and meaningless to most prudent people.
