Product Details

Product Description

From Library Journal

The high-profile Shatner (see Tek Power in "Fiction") follows up the best-selling Star TrekR Memories with a behind-the-scenes look at all seven Star TrekR movies, including the one premiering this Thanksgiving.
Copyright 1994 Reed Business Information, Inc. --This text refers to the Hardcover edition.

From AudioFile

William Shatner takes us from the end of the original television series to the death of the character he played, Captain James T. Kirk, in the recent film, Star Trek Generations. The abridgment concentrates on the creative difficulties of filming, and except for Leonard Nimoy (Spock), the listener hears next to nothing about Shatner's co-stars. Shatner reads at a breakneck pace, slowing down only when he encounters something that really interests him, such as his unexpected reaction to Kirk's death. Shatner is warm, humorous and ultimately likeable, but this audiobook will be most enjoyed by Trekkies. D.W.

3.0 out of 5 stars "Captain Kirk" recalls his theatrical "voyages", May 30 2004
By Reginald D. Garrard "the G-man" (Camilla, GA USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Forever emblazoned in popular culture as the captain of TV's original "Star Trek", William Shatner, along with co-author Chris Kreski, takes the reader on a journey where "no man has gone before": that is, the soundstages of each of the seven films in which he was featured as the stalwart captain. From the first, "Star Trek: The Motion Picture", to the transitional "Star Trek: Generations", Shatner reveals the backstage drama of film production. He debunks some misconceptions about his "arrogance" and makes apologies to those that may have been offended. The author also chronicles how the "suits" in the offices of Paramount made some budget changes that, no doubt, played an integral part in the failure of the Shatner-directed "Star Trek: The Final Frontier".

All in all, the book is a decent read for the true Trek fan; it's not one, however, that bodes well with the uninitiated.

4.0 out of 5 stars Another look behind the scenes, Mar 2 2004
By Jeffrey Leeper "kem2070" (Seattle, WA USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Star Trek Movie Memories (Hardcover)
After seeing the movies, avid fans wish to know what happened behind the scenes during the making of the movie. Questions like who yelled at who often arise. However, as in the Star Trek Memories book before it, Bill Shatner does not dish out a lot of gossip or dirt on anyone. Here, he discusses what went into getting the various projects to begin with. Although this may not sound as exciting, I found myself turning pages, amazed that the films were actually made. Roddenberry was not happy with his treatment, and the studio did not appear to want to work with anyone.

For the personal touch, Shatner begins by telling the readers what he was doing before he received the call for the first Star Trek motion picture. From there, the stories tend to cover the people involved in writing the scripts, producing and directing the films, and getting the financing and actors. For this, Shatner provides ample quotes from interviews and letters from the members involved. As with the last book, he does interview Nimoy and Takei, but where are the comments from others?

A bit more personal is the information on Shatner's directing as well as his death scene in the crossover movie. Although sentimental, he does not overdo it.

I would highly recommend this book to Star Trek fans.
