"Ultimate Trek: Star Trek's Greatest Moments" is a 44-minute documentary short film from 1999, so two more years only until this one has its 20th anniversary. The executive producer here is Jason Alexander from Seinfeld and he also cast himself as Captain Kirk in here. Next to him, we have two lesser known actors playing Spock and McCoy, people who have a decent history with the Emmys though too. However, these snippets, the only thing original in this film, are nothing to be proud of, but certainly more on the embarrassing side. These also show that there are very different brands of comedy and parody may not be an area where Alexander succeeds. In-between, there are all kinds of references to and scenes from Star Trek, stuff like best one-liners, some bloopers, a little quiz etc. Overall, I'd probably only recommend it to people who really love Alexander and Star Trek as everybody else probably won't see the appeal of this documentary. I personally cannot really see it as well and I have to give it a thumbs-down. Not recommended.
