Star Trek Fan Film: "The Death of War" 

“ I failed this one at the academy “ “ we all did “

I’m 58 and I grew up watching OG Star Trek. This proves Classic Trek is and always be the best.

Bravery is not the absence of fear, but the overcoming of fear.

When you show up 3-hours early for a premiere and find other people patiently waiting. You all know who you are, and I love each of you!🖖

"We all did!" Well, except for one James Kirk... but after all, he changed the rules. Captain Allenby played the game with the rules intact and won. Good job and a great video!

Polished, a convincing snapshot of not just a captain but her crew still finding their balance as a team. And a great tribute to the ideals of Starfleet and the Federation. Many thanks.

A surprisingly well written story line. Too often, I've seen other fan productions be let down by "logically improbable" scenarios, despite their otherwise very good production qualities. But not in this case. Very well done, my compliments.

Josh, once again you’ve achieved the impossible: a top-notch production AND a respectful comment section. Bravo, and congratulations. I’m honored to know you.

I think it’s a good risk to help anyone in distress. Ignoring is too easy.

From the opening shot - i was hooked! The lighting throughout is gorgeous! The battle scene was amazing - unlike some short films - this one felt like the "stakes" were really there. The tension was real! Sound was great - loved the stereo effects on so many scenes (door closing, tractor beam...). This was full-on nostalgia - but not campy in any way. And big thanks to both not saying the name of the no-win scenario out loud - and the Marion Zimmer Bradley reference near the end - perfect!

Really super job by EVERYONE involved. This film came out extremely well.

An excellent short film. Great work with Captain Allenby making a questionable decision in the beginning, but one that she supported with grit and determination. It turned out to be the correct decision, but not without testing the faith of some of her crew. Also wonderful to see her struggle afterwards with the fear and uncertainty that weighs on every starship commander.

I'm glad Moe found work as a Romulan.

She’s a darn good captain. I’m sure Kirk would’ve been just as scared but not show it either. Darn good episode! Very impressed! Well done!

I really enjoyed this episode. Romulans were always a favorite within the universe and this captured their tense situations very well! Well done!

This was some great acting, sound engineering, and great writing! Keep on keeping on yall! 🌠

The end of this video reminds me of a next generation line. "Take this back to your leaders Gal Ma'set. We be watching!" Star Tark TNG SO4E12 "The Wounded"

👏👏👏I love this episode. The quality of production was amazing, you guys are all pros! Erm, I mean *amateurs*, I don't want to get you into trouble with Paramount! 😂 A huge thank you and congratulations to everyone involved. You are so loyal to the original series and Gene Roddenberry, you should all rightly feel very proud of what you've achieved and how happy you're making ST fans across the world. And we're also your fans too! ❤

Amazing how a fan produced series can be way better than anything new right now. Great job

Yet another fantastic work of art from the Avalon team, everything on point all the way through.

The science officer guy was pretty cool! Would love to see more of him.

That was awesome, there are several threads in the plot, and it comes together at the end very nicely. Great acting, the art design is top-notch, everything about this is great. I really enjoyed it. ❤

TRULY Amazing. Great original story, great characters, and TERRIFIC performances! STANDING OVATION!

This shows you really can do something powerful with the short story format!

Once again, another fabulous entry into the Avalon Universe. And talk about a Baptism of Fire. However, I think our young Captain proved herself.

1st of all, great job everybody. Everyone else has commented on the great job the cast and crew did. I'd like to call out the sound editing team for doing a fantastic job. The musical ques are there, in the right spots, and the dialog comes across as crisp without being buried under the soundtrack.

Effing amazing! The more Trek, the better. There are endless stories to be told that do not require flashing lights and millions of dollars of CGI. You may want to tell your writers that decimate means to reduce your compatriots by one tenth, though. We have sadly gotten used to saying "decimate" when we mean "destroy," "annihilate," or "obliterate."

I think it's high time that the Lost Era is no longer lost. CBS can make a series about the adventures of the Enterprise C with Captain Rachel Garrett as commanding officer. It's very sad that Captain Rachel Garrett only had one appearance in Star Trek, during which she also died. I am convinced that the fans would like to know more about Captain Rachel Garrett.

Damn, it felt like an extension of TOS...

How do these mere 20 min episodes feel like I’ve watched a whole hour long episode? Nicely done!

Good tight screenplay. Shows a good military adventure story can be told in 20 minutes if you remove most of the emotional or romantic padding.

Another cracking adventure. Long live Captain Allenby!!!!

I love the way you light these sets, Josh. I really elevates the design and brings it into the 21st Century, while still staying faithful to the colours and shadows of the 60s.

Another outstanding episode. I really appreciate all your hard work to make episodes as good as official productions. 10/10

Wow! Excellent production! Felt like a classic episode. Thanks for the fun ride!

cinematograpy ,effects, story, and acting impressive. Depth of field is spot on. Incredible for a fan film

Any film that Josh Irwin is involved in is a good film. Keep knocking them out of the park!

Finally someone brought us a cute Captain. Actually more like a Hot Captain, I like a girl in uniform.

Far and away the best captain on fan production I have seen. Also love cast they all work for their parts. Commander reminds me of the scary teacher from my youth; don’t mess with her😂

YOU GOT THE RIGHT BRIDGE!!! Great. We need more.

That moment when a fan-made episode from the Avalon universe is better Discovery series finale! Bravo! 👊😊👊

I got here at the 9 minuet mark and still a very good offering! I am going back to watch the whole story! Thank you for creating this Trek Fan Film!

What a fantastic performance absolutely stunning thank you everyone for an enjoyable 22 minutes of Star Trek into the stars.

Very impressive set build. As a prop maker and set builder, I very much appreciate the attention to detail that went into the bridge set in this. Beautiful work!

Thankyou to everyone whom makes this Star Trek fan production.

Excellent work including the music. So glad to see the Set continuing to be used. Many thanks for this venue of Star Trek 😊

The story formats may be a lot simpler for fan films compared to mainstream franchises. But that can make fan films all the more fascinating. Because I think that we all need the reassurance that the simplest kinds of storytelling can still hold up in this generation. I think that Star Trek fan films can achieve that very nicely. Thank you, Avalon Fan Films, for all your contributions. 🖖🏻🖖🏼🖖🏽🖖🏾🖖🏿

This was as exciting as any original Star Trek. And I had no idea Romulans had scientists. Thought they were only military so I learned something new. Kudos to the creators of this!

Another nice piece of work everyone can be proud of. Congratulations to the entire production staff.

Brother, this was a great film and I really enjoyed the bigger picture vibe you got from it. Nicely done

I look forward to future trips on the Excalibur! I hope we get more!

Awesome. Your productions keep getting better and better. Great job all.

What great story and I love the connection to Crisis. Avalon now appears to have a full on multiverse on their hands. Possibilities abound! Well done.

Thanks to everyone involved for another great episode! It means a lot to continue to live these adventures with people who love Star Trek so deeply. Steady as she goes!

Great done in the best of StarTek form. Thanks!

This was so stellar, absolutely loved the characters, effects, plot, writing, 10/10!

AWESOME romulan makeup- you all really cared on this one

How can they have such an accurate (at least to my eyes) looking TOS set.

Truly great and professional production. A tip to the hat to all involved. I love the cinematography, apart from the few 180° rule violations ;) The look of the live action scenes, the lighting etc. top notch and very fitting. The CGI too looks great and merges beautifully with the rest. There's very little to critique really. The acting was a bit uneven, the number one was a bit over the top in places, especially with her facial expressions, but nothing too distracting. The story itself worked great, told in a very streamlined way. Maybe a bit too much epilogue after the central conflict is resolved, but then again I'm not well versed in your universe of characters and their backstories, so others might appreciate the scenes at the end more than me. Again, overall very impressive work from all involved and a fan film well worth the watch! :)

Love so many sets; most fancproductins lack it; u all did so good

So good! Looks great! Effects, score, editing and cast! Good story too!

Fantastic! Great story. Only criticism, nepotism as the reason the captain is there. I think that she is in the Big chair is because she earned it. Awesome job on the sets! I really enjoyed the cast... even the people playing Romuluns!! 🤣. 🖖😎🤘🇨🇦🕊️🇨🇦

I like the old style look with some slightly new style effects.

it looks like she found a way to win the Kobyashi Maru test her own way. Great story

Outstanding. The detail and storyline are an extension of the original series.

Rick Cole: Great story, every one did there part great, CAITLYN BAILEY was a great #1 as was the Captain, I was amazed how super the acting was, I loved it as I do these talks... Actually, the films better then these talks LOL Thank you all for Star Trek Fan Films and your time here talking, Josh you've no worries, your a big star no matter what you do in creating the magic

I love so many of these fan films! This one was stellar! Excellent story and delightful acting all-round. Y'all should be proud of yourselves. Thank you so much for this treat!

Excellent episode! Thanks for uploading this. 😊

Thank you everyone for watching the film! As always, unnecessarily rude comments will be deleted.. *Also for this film . ANY comments saying the Captain should be a man, will be automatically deleted without discussion*

I like that you have the great score music from the original Star Trek.

Very nicely done! Really Really GOOD! :)

2311 is the Tomed incident with the Romulans which lead to short war between the Federation and the Romulan Star Empire. The end of the war is marked by the Treaty of Algeron. The treaty was concluded between the United Federation of Planets and the Romulan Star Empire. This event belongs to the Lost Era, which lies between 2293 and 2364. The Battle of Narendra III is also part of the Lost Era and involved the Enterprise C an Ambassador class starship. The Enterprise C was launched in 2332 at the McKinley shipyard in Earth orbit. The Ambassador class is my favorite starship class in Star Trek. I have 546 photos of the Ambassador class that I use as a screensaver.

Amazing job at every level! Keep em coming! Thanks to you all!

I love this! This is my introduction to your films, and I'm so impressed! Great work! (And I spy a medical person in the background that I recently met in Santa Monica!)

Absolutely amazing work, well done to all involved. The Captain is incredibly beautiful and talented.

That was one of the best yet. Well done. Captain D Robert Towne, USS Lysander, NCC-540

What a wonderful show. thank you for making this.

Very well done in every respect!

Well done! Kudos to all the cast & crew! Enjoyed this and look forward to future episodes. :-)

Awesome episode, great acting, fantastic effects and great story, really put me back into Tos.

Excellently well done. Thoroughly enjoyable and totally believable. I loved it!

Great work! Thank you to everyone involved - your love and passion for this really shows!

nicely done even squeezed in a "b" story between captain and commander

I have watched several episodes of yours and I have to say they are really good. Will look forward to more.

This is dope! Great work to the cast/crew!

Very well made as usual. 10/10.

A really solid effort, all the way around. The sound mix is really good.

Great Acting, well written, and great production! Loved it!!!

I like the ship and I like the crew

Wow...... what an amazing episode. ❤ Keep up the great work.

very nicely done in all respects. a couple faint amateurish touches but not enough to mar - just enough to endear. right up there with the best. congratulations to cast and crew for knocking it out of the park.

This is another great episode!!!

Well done fan film. Much better than some of the crap. That paramount puts out that they label as Star Trek.

This is a good story, and a great Star Trek story! Well done!

Captain has an appropriate uniform. Nicely done overall. 👍

What a great flick! Thank you one and all so much.

Can’t wait to share, good work. 👍🏻

Brilliant work to all involved 😊
