Star Trek: Renegades (2015–2017)
7/10
Rough with Potential
17 August 2015
Warning: Spoilers
Let me first say that I like the idea a lot. The movie itself was a bit odd with random scenes and some pacing issues. The character backgrounds felt crammed. The performances were a mixed bag. They definitely went a little over the top with the cleavage (pun intended). The makeup and music were impressive given the constraints. I thought the special FX were OK, though some were unnecessary (fire, cityscape flyover).

It also seemed like they were trying to be gritty by having random people die and showing ridiculously plunging necklines. It failed because it felt forced. It took me a long time to accept Seven of Nine and T'Pol for this very reason (Deanna Troi for some reason didn't have that problem). That being said I have no problem with it being gritty as long as it is remotely believable for the show I'm watching.

The show definitely has potential. I would like to see this as a show with more even pacing, better editing and some more solid performances. I genuinely wasn't expecting the little surprise at the end with Furlong's character.
