"An uproariously funny look at the phenomenon born from the 'Star Trek' saga.... Despite what might seem to be a simple mocking of extreme and, at times, obsessive behavior, director Roger Nygard displays a conscientious effort to respect the subjects of his documentary, largely doing so by allowing them to convey the good-hearted and rather likeable qualities of each Trekkie. It is also Nygard's deft directorial touch, such as panning to a Radio Shack clerk's expression when the local Trekkie regular comes in to buy parts for his latest 'Star Trek'-inspired mechanism, that keeps the humor seamlessly flowing. As for the Trekkies (or Trekkers--a debate that is loosely touched on in the film) themselves, their enjoyment of the on-screen depictions will depend on whether they feel unfairly stereotyped or able-to-laugh-at-oneself amused by some of the excessive cases of Trekmania."
