PACIFIC 201 (A Star Trek Fan Production) Part 2 

This right here is proof, despite some claims to the contrary, that the Star Trek universe still has a lot to offer those who have the creative courage to explore its many frontiers and report home with those findings, in the form of productions like Pacific 201. It is my hope that, one day, when Star Trek experiences a true revival of canon productions that these fan passion projects will form a rich set of references and inspiration.

There were a lot of things horrible about the year 2020. The USS Pacific and her crew wasn't one of them. Well done.

No space battles, no lens flare? What kinda Trek is this? Just kidding! The writing and production is excellent and the story is true to what Star Trek and Starfleet is all about. Thank You Mr Henry!

When the command was given to turnaround the Velocity, I was expecting a traditional, long slow yaw. Nope, inertial dampening online. We're pitching and rolling this girl with thrust vectoring like a Starfury!!

"Anybody need a hand?" is now one of the greatest film lines of all time.

This is closer to hard Sci-Fi than I expected it would be. Bravo.

"World War III: Collected Poems" is a haunting book title if I've ever heard one.

I loved the refit Pacific/Integrity Class at the end there! This was beyond any Star Trek fan production that I’ve ever seen!

At 61 I have watched Star-Trek, then the Movies, and Next Generation, and Deep Space Nine. This is AS GOOD AS IT GETS.! Thank You. Parts 1-2 only want me wishing for Parts 3-9. Awesome job.! aloha

I like how Velocity comes about to a new course. We never get to see true RCS maneuvers like that in Trek.

This is the star trek that we've been wanting since enterprise. Well done Mr Henry and crew, well done indeed. Please give us more.

Sc-Fi, drama, and the hope of a lost race,, wonderful.

This was better than any number of episodes of Discovery.

As much as I was hoping for a good space battle, this was highly entertaining and it fits beliveably between a major war and a program of exploration, its a shame this isnt the pilot episode of a new series making what once was old new again.

Beautiful. This is what attracted me to Star Trek when I was nine years old. Not the kill everything space battles, not heavy CGI, but good writing and story-telling. I wish I had found this sooner. Thank you. Thanks for giving 2022 a good send-off.

Like the first part, this second half is incredibly well done. The sets, costumes, acting, camera work. Incredible. I really hope we see more from the Pacific 201 creative team.

There's more Star Trek in this production than all of CBS Trek combined. Where CBS does Star Trek, by sucking the Star Trek out of their Star Trek, this production excels at bringing the heart of Star Trek back to the fans. Roddenberry would be proud. Happy New Year, and thank you!

I like the unique approach to show the early days of UESPA / Starfleet. The production design is awesome and feels "realistic". Some actors seem a little bit too young (Vandre, Rader, and others) but that's OK. The CGI is absolutely fantastic! In total Pacific 201 is a great fan film and it was worth waiting for. Thanks a lot to the whole cast and crew. On behalf of the crew of the USS Atlas I wish a Happy New Year 2021 and all the best for the future. Keep on trekking.

best money spend on a kickstarter movie would happily spend more money on future movies

Very well done. I can't help believe this effort was hamstrung by the Draconian Fan Film Guidelines. This could have been an awesome feature film length movie.

Great Star Trek fan film series. Please give us more.

"RISK, is our business!" brilliant.

Thank you so much. THIS is what Star Trek is all about. Characters well done and believable, FX well done and a story that really follows the Star Trek legacy. No need for flashy visuals and over the top combat. Just the right amount of damage being done to suit the story in stead of trying to extract an empty emotional response like you get from modern Star Trek. Plus it's from an era that is so rarely explored. I wish CBS would just dump the license and budget on you guys in stead. Thank you, I missed content like this.

You folks are super, great acting, story and all who did there magic behind what we see thumbs up, super film, thank you for after NX-01 and before Enterprise, Uniforms fit beautifully, sweet peek into the year 2200 Star Trek Universe, would love so much to see more, even contribute again seeing the magic created here

Pacific 201 is one of the best fan productions I've ever seen. The story line is strong. The characters have depth, and they show growth. Effects are great. I look forward to seeing future productions. And of course, best to you all in the new year. :)

Bloody BRILLIANT!!!! Loved this! BRAVO ERIC!!

Entertaining film and story. It brought the trek that was missing back into my life. Also, I enjoyed the cast. Especially the performances of Margaret Herberner and Lindsey Williams. Some people talk about acting in fan films being wooden, but not many of them have ever directed actors, or been an actor. Often, the quality of acting is a combination of the actor’s experience, the script material, and the director’s ability to get what they want from the actors. My only critique (not criticism) regarding the acting here, is that the director needs to focus more on future productions working with the cast to make their responses a little more natural. Some of this comes with the script, as you whittle down unnecessary dialog, or let the cast improv a bit to add attitude to their characters. Body language is also very important. Subconsciously, an audience can often tell if an actor believes they are the character by subtle changes in body language. If the actor is more mimicking a prompt than being the emotion they portray via body language, the acting can seem wooden, and the audience looses suspension of disbelief. Unlike running time, scene counts, and dialog, actor’s bodies are underutilized real-estate in most films. Body language should be used alongside other layers to show, not tell, the audience more depth of the story. One example is when Vandre (Herberner) is outwardly putting blame where it is due, with Starfleet Intelligence. She is basically telling him that regardless of his opinion, he can shove his opinion, because the incident is their fault, and Starfleet Command seems to agree. This illustrates integrity of the character, which is a great theme considering the Pacifica’s class. However, her body language doesn’t really echo that of a person who has just made life or death decisions in a crisis, and made the final decision to tell her superior to more or less suck it. Which, frankly, is far nicer than what I would have said. I get that Vandre still feels doubts about what the mission’s worth in relation to the cost in lives, but having experience in similar situations where a superior is basically trying to get you to divulge information related to an investigation, while at the same time trying to convince you your perception is wrong after your statement has been made, to cover their own mistakes ... and you have already made the decision to tell that superior “too bad, your opinion is wrong” ... there would probably be a little more strength in the body language, and would have given the scene more weight. I suggest the director learn more about how to read body language, which would enhance their storytelling style, and help them with directing the cast to coax better performances out of them. But fine job all around.

My only complaints really have to be questionable acting and sometimes sound quality other than those small details this was quite good

Commander Alisa Andre is an example of a strong Female Character. You perfectly portray her without resulting to her sexuality, or making her insanely strong. You took the strengths of being a women and there weaknesses to create a character that you can relate with. Unlike Michael Burman, who doesn't think twice about putting her friends in danger. Who can get stabbed in the leg and bleed out for 20 minutes and be fine. I hope to see her character explored in the future.

Wow that sensor scene was amazing! The music and everything seemed just like a real Star Trek production.

Like the effects and starship design. Feels real. Acting is what it is whit a fan production but ok. All in all really good work

OK, that's it. I want a Margaret Herbener poster. I absolutely love her portrayal here. Vandre has a pensive consternation about... everything. An iron moral compass and an almost Spock-like approach to handling confrontation. This is, by far, the best fan-made Star Trek story I have ever seen. I would 100% watch a series featuring Margaret as the main character.

Very well done, putting the "Star" back in Star Trek. A fan Film crown jewel. Need more of this quality.

The ship sets remind me of the ship sets from "babylon 5 in the beginning". I love that, it gives this, as it did babylon 5 a sense of realism. The bridge or cic of a ship is going to be compact and efficient, especially in a spacecraft. I love the design, 5 stars for me!

Wow!! I got emotional when the Velocity showed up to rescue the Pacific, this is Amazing Star Trek. Kudo's

Pretty good overall. Acting a bit stiff in places but really no different than the official shows at times. FX were very well done with only some green/blue screen wonkiness here and there(to me). Sound was a little soft in places but subtitles helped out. Favourite part to me was the Commander's barely kept in check....opinions....about Starfleet 'Intelligence' throwing them under the bus again and again.... Congratulations on all the hard work and the good effort put in by one and all!

Wow. just wow. This was so good and not just the special effects which were very well done. You all captured the spirit of Star Trek. Why cant Hollywood do this? Here’s hoping your voyages continue. 🖖

Happy New Year to the cast and crew this film was well worth the wait and i look forward to more from yourselves. A very well done production.

Congratulations to Mr. Henry and his crew! While there are some weaknesses, such as okay dialogue and acting, the special effects on the Pacific and other Federation vessel are TOP NOTCH! Plus, the plot is solid and thoughtful……and the plot is the heart of the show. Well done. I look forward to further adventures of the Pacific and her crew.

For me, the timeless value of a true Star Trek story is the treatment of the Human Condition. I believe that was the intent of Gene's work. A good story teaches and invokes emotion - it uplifts. "Pacific 201", I believe, honored the highest tradition of the Star Trek saga - telling a story that teaches and touches our hearts. This story presents a moral dilemma and treats the value of the cost of discovery. Many times we are confronted with balancing the rules and protocols that define a society with the values that are the foundation of that society. Rules are instituted as we learn from experience. Sometimes we need to make adjustments. However, integrity, for me, is the highest priority. "Be true to thyself" is important if we have a solid moral foundation. "Pacific 201" did an excellent job of presenting a story to teach us. I compliment all those involved. The script was sound, the production team did an excellent job of presenting a believable environment, the actors did a fine job. I thank all involved. You did more that just entertain, you uplifted us. That seems to be a balance that is sometimes lacking in the industry. Well done! I look forward to seeing more of your work. This was my first encounter,

I like the design of the Velocity, trek needs more support ships like that one style wise.

Fantastic pieces of work! You captured the Gene Roddenberry’s vision of Star Trek with flawless execution! As a lifelong fan, thank you!

Good old Trek like Star Trek Enterprise, ist was a honor to see this wonderful fanmade Film, like an Episode ob Star Trek Enterprise. Good work everyone.

May be this hasn’t super famous actors or the same things that movies like Avengers or Mission Impossible but it has a very important part: This is what the real Star Trek is about. This is true to Star Trek. Thank you very much to all actors, actresses, director, and all the personnel for making thus pece of history.

Loved it. Acting a little stiff but forgivable. I’m just happy to see it

Discovery take note, THIS is real Star Trek.

This film is fantastic! Netflix needs to contact the producers to come up with a show for them.

Hi guys, just rewatched at the end of my work day... More please....I am addicted to good Trek and this is only place to get it...May the Great Bird of the Galaxy shine upon you all

Hello. Oh, what a perfect way to end 2020. Thanks, guys. Happy 2021! LLAP! That end credits music sounds a bit "JAG"-esque.

Congratulations to the entire team. I thoroughly enjoyed it.

To Boldly Go... In the greatest traditions of Star Fleet ...Well Done

Ive never understood why anyone would click the dislike button on a vid like this . 4 as I'm typing this. Anything less than a standing ovation is is disrespecrful. I give a standing ovation with my jaw on the floor and a meteor shower in my eyes followed by a damn in a low rumbley voice 🤓

This is one of the best Fan made project as a 3d artist you designs are so awesome. Thank you for making this. Awesome work cant wait for Part 3....

Just beautiful, great acting, great production, Great Story... I'm looking forward for more!

I really enjoyed this production. They took a fairly simple storyline and drew me in enough that I care about the future voyages of the Pacific (even knowing that CBS won't allow them to do it). This proves that you don't need insane budgets, effects, and complicated plots to create a good story that the audience will appreciate and enjoy.

This is vert, very right. Please please may we have more. This is what it should be like. Brilliant job.

I wanna say this was an amazing fan film! First off, Im not familiar with who did the special effects, but WOW! This was top notch theatrical quality. And I want to make a specific observation here. I loved the designs, and they matched the time period. It seems to be after the Romulan wars, but maybe 40 or 50 years before Kirk if I were to guess. And you can see the progression of design. And the hulls were a light grey, almost white. I loved how the ships were brightly lit. You can see what they look like. Every detail! In modern Trek, everything is lit so dark, you cant see the ship designs good, and the editing is ADHD at its worst. THIS is how space scenes should look. Such a good job!!!!

Pacific 201 feels like The Mandalorian of Star Trek

thank you to all involved in the making of 201. the spirit of trek lives on the outskirts, on the frontier.

Not only did you create multiple outstanding looking exterior shots, and multiple ship models that in my opinion all fit in the Star Trek universe seamlessly, but you actually made a story that unlike most other fan made Star Trek productions, had beautiful interior sets and actors to play as the crew, the amount of money and effort put into this must’ve been baffling. The production quality of this short film is outstanding and the results are absolutely stunning. 👍

This was awesome! I hope you have more plans for other Star Trek fan films in the post-Enterprise era

Love the ship designs! Awesome job.

Absolutely amazing! Fantastic work on so many levels, part 2 is even better than part one. I loved the story, the characters and the production design. Beautiful music and nice cinematography as well. SO much effort went into this and it shows. I love how the Pacific as a starship feels even more believeable than the NX-01 in terms of of how early 22nd century starships might look. The VFX was worldclass for all the star ships. Amazing, just amazing. Thank you for this!

amazing. and i really like the added details of the rcs that makes space travel more newtonian!! good work folks!!

A wonderful experience visually and emotionally. I have found that fans continue to produce Trek episodes true to the hope and spirit of exploration that devotees dream of, a future for all people beyond division and hatred. Thank you.

Will there be more Pacific 201 films? I would love to contribute to support the next one.

This was absolutely great, thank you so much

Absolutely amazing! Thank you thank you thank. Wonderful performances. Everything was perfect.

awesome Film great job so far keep up the great work

Wow! That was great! Can't wait to see what's next in store!

I'm just now tuning into to this amazing fan production. I truly enjoyed this. Hat's off to all those involved. It would be good to see more. Well done! May you all "Live Long, and Prosper."

Well that was, just amazing. Thank You!

Pacific 201 Well Done!!! - like the world created, like the story, I am very impressed with the production value and the visuals - the acting, not bad (and better than a lot that's out there) feel an opportunity to hone and develop (hope you take in spirit it is intended, really appreciate the work that went into this!) - I look forward to and hope to see more like this from this team - think this can be a real rich addition to the Star Trek Universe - Thank you!!

Well done! Congrats!!!!!!!!!!!!

A nice offering for the end of the year & the start of the new! A well told story & the CGI was high quality to boot! Thank you all for sharing your talent as well as your passion with the rest of us in the Trek community! Happy New Year to all of you!

Part two even better than part one! Really enjoyed the story and the characters. 😍

The special effects of this show are amazing. This is exactly what a Prequel to Star Trek should have been. This blows "Enterprise" out of the water.

Well done, love it

This (both parts) was absolutely fantastic! Well done to all of you. Well done indeed.

Wonderful. Thank you all for this gift.

Excellent!

This is better than the latest heigh budget stuff. Realy well done.

This was great! Thank You!

That was simply AWESOME!! Other than a little of the acting being wooden, it was a top notch program!! I would definitely love to see some more!!

“Let’s not get hung-up on who did what, and why. I want to focus on the timeline, concentrating on who did what, and why.” 😆

EC Henry is known for amazing work Pacific 201 is no exception. I hope the mod team for Stellaris New Horizons gets these ships added soon.

Wow, Amazing, and Perfect! These three words sum up your fan film, and you pulled off making something back to the roots of Star Trek. I would love to see another one with the Pacific!

Keep them comin, thank you very much, excellent work.

Happy new year to the entire team, and everyone else, I wish for everyone to be safe and to have a better year than this

Simply incredible.

Again, this is fantastic! The sets were amazing, the special effects were great, the characters were believable and well-played, the plot was credible. Well done! Astra sunt mare nostrum!

Job well done. This was another great Episode!

A totally unexpected and tragic end; but an end not entirely without success. It is a bitter-sweet irony that triumph and tragedy go hand in hand . . . What is the mission of the United Earth Federation, if not to ...“explore strange new worlds, seek out new life and new civilizations, to boldly go where no man has gone before!” - - For centuries, many lives have been lost, even sacrificed in pursuit of human progress and human exploration - for mankind to be where it is at the dawn of the 23rd century. Many more lost lives may well be humanity's lot in its existence, the further we penetrate the dark void of interstellar space-to continue the conquest and colonization of deep space. - - If we believe the benefits to the human species are worth the risks, then it is incumbent upon us and Starfleet to ensure that the men and women who died, did not die in vain; and except the reality that we will morn the loss, and honor the sacrifice of those who will likely die in the performance of their duty, and in the service of mankind.

Hey CBS- This is how to do Star Trek! Remove the legal chains from fan productions. The idea that fan films are somehow hurting you financially is ridiculous! If Discovery, Picard, or (God help us) Lower Decks had even Half the story quality of fan productions like this, you wouldn't be steadily losing your audience!

I watched both Parts (1 & 2) of this amazing production this morning. This is truly Star Trek! I truly enjoyed it, and my sincerest hope is that it will not be the last from this very gifted and talented group. I thank you so very much for the experience. Please keep up the excellent work.

Bless you EC Henry...Gene would be proud, I’m sure. From the bottom of my little Trek heart....a big thank you! You are a very talented guy...and you are using your talent for good.

"We could have a war with Romulus" so let's damage or maybe even destroy a neutral ship that offered its assistance, as a means to avert said possible war and not create an act of war. Yeah, and let's do it as underhanded as possible, for the greater good. Who wrote this script?!?

Even with the questionable acting scenes Stull a million times better than discovery.

Great stuff! Roddenberrys spirit still lives! Outstanding effects, good story and mostly good performances ! I enjoyed it and would love to see more! If only CBS would give teams like yours some money and not that ridiculous crowd they have Trek to.... sigh. But the positive thing is.... the fans always come through!

This has the making of an incredible series. Keep up the excellent work!
