The filmmakers visited fans all over the world, including an Englishman who transformed his flat into a starship and listed this on the Internet for $2 million, and the first convention ever held in Serbia. The movie also checks in on some of the original profilees like wunderkind Gabriel Koerner and alternate Whitewater juror Barbara Adams.

| sbs.isStefan Birgir Stefanssonthe first one was enough, however, it's still interesting |
| Flick FilosopherMaryAnn Johanson[R]ecognizes that [Trek fans are] a lot more clever, creative, self-aware, and generous than the uninitiated will have realized... |
| User ReviewLinda -YAY another one! hmmmmm... will there be a third one I wonder... if so I wanna be in it :P |
| User ReviewRick Egreat documentary, just like the first. while fun to laugh at these people, i think it's fantastic that they are passionate and happy. anyone who feels pity for them should re-evaluate their own life. |
| User ReviewMichelle LGabe, I'm so glad you got married, rock on! lol |
| User ReviewDarin ZOh my god, I almost died laughing... an authentic portrait of an alien...!!!! |
| User ReviewCalvin LJust awesome!!! This movie cracked me up as a die hard trek fan. It also makes me feel better about myself.. Being that I'm not that nutty bannanas!!! Captains log star date reality!! |
| User ReviewHarshwardhan SUnnecessary after the first Trekkies...But I don't mind! :) |
| User ReviewBill BThe sequel presents more of the same, turning the spotlight on the entire world this time around. There are hot Serbian babes into Star Trek? Duly noted. The annoying kid from the first one is re-visited, who is still an annoying goofball, despite the fact that he's found a girlfriend/wife and is working in special effects for shows that I actually like. As long as they keep him behind the scenes, we're all good. Dude's fucking irritating. Well worth a look, give it a peep. |
| User ReviewLuis SA glimpse into my future as the major Star Trek nerd I'm about to become (I'm attending the world's biggest convention the day after next). And I proudly welcome that title. These people are fucking awesome! Whenever I wear my future Captain Picard uniform to a Buffalo Wild Wings I know I won't be the only geek out there doing so. I know I won't look as fat as Commander Riker in his uniform, so I plan on wearing one out drinking, to concerts, movies, etc. The best thing about this movie wasn't the geeky fans, but the segment on Star Trek metal bands. Some of them are really killer; I wished I remembered their names so I could download their music. There's a Klingon metal band that is so awesome; and the singer is missing a hand, but they fucking rock! There was a Klingon karoekee bar in Portland that I was all excited about but it closed down shortly before I visited my friend Carl there in 2005. I was jokingly mean about Star Trek fans back then. But I have since changed my ways, and I think Star Trek fans are the #1 type of people I would like to have a drink with! |
