Plot Summary
True love for science fiction knows no borders, and now the people who brought us Trekkies return to travel the globe in hopes of finding the world's most dedicated Star Trek fan in this belated sequel to the 1997 cult documentary. Once again hosted by Star Trek: The Next Generation's Denise Crosby, Trekkies 2 features interviews with such dedicated fans as the English Trekkie who reconstructed his Leicestershire apartment to resemble the interior of the Starship Enterprise, numerous Filk (science fiction-oriented folk music) singers and Star Trek tribute bands, and also offers coverage of the first-ever Serbian Star Trek convention. Of course, a sequel wouldn't be a sequel without the return of a few fans from the original hit, and Trekkies 2 offers follow-up interviews with such memorable devotees as Gabriel Köerner and Whitewater juror Barbara Adams.
Customer Reviews
Trekkies 2
Was not as good as the first, but still pretty funny.
Perfect sequel to a very funny original
This hilarious documentary explores Star Trek fans world wide, focusing on international conventions. Many of the memorable Trekkies from the first movie return for more interviews. Gabe Koerner developed an iota of self awareness. Most others didn't. There is a sequence that educates the audience about Star Trek themed bands: The heavy metal band named after Klingon hell, "Stovokhor." Their lead singer appears to have a deformed arm that only lends itself to the imaginary battle damage of his warrior persona. Or the original series themed punk band "No Kill I."
Like before, the fans range from lovably goofy to infuriatingly oblivious. The sequel tips the theme of obsession forward into sickeningly pathetic territory, but you just...can't.....look....away!
Watch for the cat in the borg costume, with laser light atrached to it's head.
