I received my backers copy after all the delays with Shout doing the US theatrical release etc and having to pay a damned import fee on the package and thought the documentary was ok.
It didn't quite live up to the hype I had built in my mind over the last 2 years and I felt it lacked focus. It seems there was a LOT of footage filmed with the cast and those behind the camera but a lot of things weren't addressed.
As nice as it was to have the musical number at the start I would happily chop that out and use that time to hear from one of the crew behind the camera.
Some of the best bits are the deleted scenes. Hearing about the Rocks and Shoals shoot from hell in the quarry was interesting or Cirroc's wardrobe problems was funny.
Terry's departure was barely addressed and Nicole had about 2minutes in the entire doc.
I understand there will be areas not covered but after watching this documentary once, I don't get the feeling that I know What Was Left Behind by those who were featured. Maybe I need to watch it again.
Overall a B- maybe a B+ because of the extras.
I never cared for the inclusion of “Vick The Lounge Lizard Crooner Of The Holosuite” in the last few seasons. Watching Ferengi listening to his music and gathering advice from a hologram who referred to them as “Daddy-oh” threw me a bit.
This is a very minor nitpick for me as I really love DS9.
