I really enjoy watching quality fan films like this. The acting is great. My only suggestion would be to go back and re-edit the film so that it moves a bit faster, in the same manner that TOS did. For example, the opening scene drags a bit when the Captain enters his quarters. A few establishing shots linger a bit to long, and could easily be cut in length without effecting the story.
Oh come on! It's all about having fun. Star Trek belongs to all of us. Trekkies, just enjoy this for what it is and stop being so persnickity. Cripes!
Wasn't the Farragut the ship the James T. Kirk served aboard when he was a Leutinant and was one of the few survivors who was attacked by the cloud creature that was later presented in the "Obsession" episode?
Wonderful sets, amazing effects. Good script ideas, but needs tightening up. The weak link, as in New Voyages, is the acting. For havng invested this much money, I'd rather see a really good finished product than see myself on-screen. But, it's their money. All in all a terrific effort.
Well you must keep in mind that this is an amateur production. And with all amateur efforts it has 2 basic challenges: Funding and Available Talent. Of course, funding dictates what talent is available. But as you said, a terrific effort.
Actually, Klingons DO take prisoners. Its the Romulans who didn't. Disregard anything you may have heard in The Wrath of Khan.

New Voyages is good but tries to mimic old series. This uses CGI more openly and is good spinoff from TOS.
