Star Trek: Renegades (2015–2017)
please stop corrupting Star Trek franchise with such insipid releases.
24 September 2020
Warning: Spoilers
The Renegades makers fan-amateurs must have concluded that their Star Trek fandom celebrity reputations and egos were now on the skids and that they had to make themselves stars before making this turkey. With no real production value to speak of, this Z-movie amateur home movie cheapie was a lame excuse to develop a shocky video by hijacking and pirating a multi billion $ beloved copy-righten & trademarked science fiction genre wholly owned and protected by CBS/ViaCom, called Star Trek. Their lack of ethics and anti-Star Trek motivations are obviously showing. They are hurting the franchise. Anyone look up the court copyright and trademarked matter called Axanar (alec peters) VS CBS/Paramount matter ?

As earlier commentators have noticed, their is no action at all in this incredibly bad video series; their scripts, unless you give credit to people walking aimlessly -- sometimes running, even -- around present day crew members homes and neighborhoods with a total lack of sets or even futuristic locations, or appearing on terribly lighted 'green screen' pirated backgrounds from other I.P. owner's software computer programs, or engaging each other in trivial or laughable dialog conversations preaching 'pet' leftists 'woke' agendas. Nothing much to engage the audience's emotions or attention. Had to stay awake during one of those diatrabes.

Consequently, it was impossible not to doze off for about 5 minutes during the beginning of this stinker, awaking only to witness the unsatisfactory pacing and arthritic performances of amateurs. When the words, "The End," finally appeared, I discovered that I was minutes closer to death with nothing positive to show for that realization.
