THE CAPTAINS [2011]

This entertaining documentary (written and directed by Captain Kirk himself) follows Billy Shatner around the world as he intimately interviews all the different actors who sat in the captain's seat of each installment of the Star Trek franchise.
It's hilarious at times, while still managing to be engaging, touching and insightful as we learn a little more of the pressures and delights of portraying a Trek captain. It might be a little bit of a vanity project for Shatner's ego but it doesn't matter...he is The Shat and that's that.
The Captains may not be for everyone but a must-see for Trek fans.
