"Leave it to Data to sum up the appeal of Trekkies, Roger Nygard's bemused and amusing documentary about Star Trek fans. Well, not Data, really, but Brent Spiner, who played the wannabe-human android on Star Trek: The Next Generation. Spiner readily acknowledges the peculiarity of the most passionate Star Trek aficionados -- but then asks, aren't we all peculiar in some way? ... Trekkies is often hilarious without half trying. ...considering the hype for that other movie with Star in the title, this is the movie that's more likely to come off as a pleasant surprise."
