Oh thank God this project is still alive
Agreed
Agreed
I thank backers, commitment and hard work rather than an invisible omnipotent entity who just stood by and watched. 😉

Oh really Mo Capitan?
[ Q-Snap ]
Clearly not a Hollywood production. Shuttlecraft Taiwan? That name would never be allowed by Hollywood's Chinese overlords. Nicely done.
The team who did the visuals really deserves high praise. The ship looks incredible and the effects when it got damaged are superb :)
EC Henry needs praise
Begs the question what kind of budget are they working with.
Agreed, most impressive.
@@davidbeaulieu4815 From what I can tell, effectively zero. EC Henry has spent years making the visuals.
The visuals were great, over 5 years I am sure they kept updating before release.
This movie is an example of why the brass at CBS/Paramount have put restrictions on fan based productions. The quality and style of this clip is so much more interesting and fun to watch than what is currently being broadcast by those establishments. Nicely done!
Now that is a "Star Trek" that fans do deserve.
The fusion of early federation, classic trek and modern naval aesthetics is just supremely well done. Can’t wait for more.
I think they sprinkled in some SFB, as well.
Even with the emphasis of modern naval aesthetics, I can easily see the Pacific fitting in between Enterprise NX-01 and the USS Kelvin.
Sultan - Starfleet is not NAVY its a Multi - service Branch
@@Michael_Smith-Red_No.5 Wouldn’t you?
@@Alkonium No way! This is way too Prime timeline to be either one of those spin-offs!
THE SHIP is absolutely STUNNING!
all the ships. that romulan ship was awesome.
Stunningly hideous .
It really is.
Genius. Just pure, creative Genius.
Agreed! These renders, the lighting, flybys and the level of attention to detail in the ship design put CBS to shame.
excuse me for saying this but it has a slight star destroyer vibe
As a Star Trek nerd from the early 1970's I have a little complaint.....Oh no, wait I don't! As a purist I find this extremely satisfying! The very early Star Fleet aesthetic is completely convincing, from ship design to uniforms. The CGI is beyond impressive and the physical sets are impressive while still retaining the main design details that I loved as a child. The writing, well I can't find any criticism, it just evokes TOS for me. Some comments have lightly criticised the acting, and while I have a certain amount of sympathy for that I can't truly say any of it was actually bad. Most of it actually far outpaced TOS acting. In my own opinion (and I am not arrogant enough to actually expect anyone else to agree with me) I would happily pay a monthly subscription to be able to stream 10 episodes of this per year ( at this quality ) for at least 5 years, but I'd prefer 7 seasons. I've been less than impressed with some recent official offerings ( while still watching and not completely hating them ) This fan film blew me out of the water, very, very impressive and shows it's deep knowledge of the original I.P. (edited for spelling mistakes)
Funny, was thinking about the same thing about a paying a subscription for more episodes of this quality and type. Nothing substantial as money is quite scarce but ought to help in aggregate from fans worldwide.
Im a classic purist too
Lol. Maybe the people saying the acting is bad should just watch a few original episodes. Without the background music if possible. Loved Trek from day one.
It5's a bit odd that this is obviously after captain Archer and they are using radar not sensors?
I completely agree accept for the door sounds
The lyrics to the hymn being sung in the opening scene are actually from the poem "High Flight", written by John Gillespie Magee, Jr., an American volunteer pilot who was killed in a midair collision over England in 1941 while serving in the RCAF. He was 19 when the wrote it and 20 when he died. What a literary loss.
it's surprisingly fitting for the federation anthem
@@kusada3035 it’s the official poem of the RAF and RCAF, and US Air Force Academy cadets must recite it from heart.
It's a beautiful hymn, but to hear the word "God" spoken so quickly into a Star Trek story was off-putting to me.
@@dgold6891 Why?
@@Paladin1873 Just because Star Trek has always been very secular when it comes to Earth religion. Of course, we do hear characters use the word "God" within this very pro-science franchise, but whenever I hear it in Trek, it still draws my attention. Hearing it so soon in this story felt weird to me 🤷🏻♂️
I still think these uniforms are more realistic navy style than even current era Star Trek uniforms. There's functionality in these
Yeah. More of a BSG / SG / real world / Enterprise vibe. Honestly, they are probably far enough out of Treksville that they could drop the StarTrek moniker and do their own thing. Really what would it take? Replace the dish, a few decals and like 10 technobabble words and your on your own. You''ve avoided the burdens of an extensive make-up team, so why bring it on board at all.
The ships, and the effects, seem to be soo real too!! I love it!!
They have pocketses!
reminds me of my RAF cadet uniform from 30 odd years ago.
I actually prefer the Enterprise era jumpsuits. They bring a "navy meets nasa" feel to the aesthetic.
Feels like a long road getting from there to here been a long time but the time is finally here
I'm glad the team had faith of the heart.
@@FelipeGarcia-ye2jz they also had strength of soul
I CAN TOUCH THE SKYYYYY!
Not gonna look back no more, not gonna close my eyes
NO!
EC Henry did this? I knew that he was good, but to make a great fan production? Even I underestimated him. Amazing!
Iree mun.
For a fan film , this was a excellent attempt at new angle of the ongoing star trek saga. The early type of ships and bad ass star fleet intel is great. Please keep the pacific series running. I always enjoy putting these up on my big screen.
No ones winning an Oscar here, but great visuals and decent story. Proceed.
LOL. Yeah, that's the thing about fan films....people forget to actually act natural! Just write the script in a way people would actually speak, and play the role as if you are really there. I think that would go a long way to improving the storytelling, no matter the production budget (which is apparently quite good!).
@@Aleksandar6ix Dang i i just said the same thing lol. Acting takes me out. Plus why she wearing glasses? It's the future lol.
they have a better chance at winning an oscar then any one from that STD show.
@@TheRealJuseBeats If you'll recall, in Wrath of Kahn, Kirk has to wear glasses because he is allergic to standard therapeutics. (iirc, it's called Retinax?) This happens more than a century *after* these events.
As to the acting, I agree there are no professional actors here. But, this effort is pretty darn good as fan films go. The story is good so far as well. Visual effects are very good. Set design is no less than superb, even surpassing some of the movies (imho). I'm hooked. Can't wait for the next release.
After a few re-watches, what turned me off most were the excessive head movements of the commander and the stares of the captain (there's a difference between stare and stern look). Minor things, hope they address them later. Great effort, great result, and fan made!
So glad this is here, today has been a bad day and this now has something I can enjoy.
Good day indeed
Hopefully you are going to be better now...I always watched any Star Trek to make my days better, too!
@@Ithinkiwill66 I dare who has never seen _Babylon 5_ to check it out. Big trekkie myself but it's good to spread out.
What a world we live in when fan made projects deliver where million dollar 'reimaginings' fall flat on their own ego/agenda!
Seriously well done guys. You should all be beyond proud of this.
yeah no it isnt.
I really enjoyed this - it is far superior in many ways to what CBS has produced in recent years. EC Henry put a lot of effort into the Pacific herself in terms of her design and construction, I would recommend everyone who liked this to go and watch his interviews over at Trekyards. Thanks to everyone who put time and effort into this fan film!
The ship design especially the shuttles was excellent. Nicely done!
Wow, I just love the look of this series, very early Federation.. Rustic! While it plays in the same Star Trek sandbox, it is its own world! Good job all!
I don't expect good acting from anyones fanmade production. I look for an original, interesting story. You delivered that and managed to present it in a very nice looking package... Acting wasn't terrible. Thankyou for your hard work and dedication to Star Trek, it shows.
Good fan film way better than 90% of others put out. Two thumbs up.
Now this is some real Star Trek. It's a different look but I love it.
Jesus, you’re easily pleased ain’t ya! 😂 Like Star Trek is now.....it’s all special effects and nothing else.
The ship designs, and beautifully executed SFX. 🙌
You can tell that devoted Star Trek fans are behind every aspect of this show. The look and feel is right. The music references Alexander Courage's themes from Balance of Terror. And, the sets are amazing. No wonder this took awhile! It was worth the wait!
Wow. Best Star Trek I have seen since Star Trek Continues. The female commander lead made everything believable for me. Well done.
I was a backer way back and been looking forward for a long time. That starship looks stunning, nice effects, interesting story and cant wait for part 2
YEESSSSS!!! This is exactly what I wanna see out of Star Trek! The Pacific is clearly heavily damaged and a new Romulan ship that’s like nothing that’s come before has come and is stalking them from afar. This almost feels like the Battle of the Ionian Nebula from The Wrath of Khan.
Mutara nebula....
Ionian Nebula is in Battlestar Galactica, @Captain Sinclair .
Lawrence is an amazing actor. Would love to see more of his talent by the rest of the cast.
Okay. There are basically two kinds of Star Trek fan videos: there are the ones featuring teens who cannot act, in stories that are not plausible and that use green screened backgrounds and almost zero as far as props. Those generally use the same effects of sparking explosions inside the bridge that would either kill people or at lease scorch a lot of things. They are barely watchable.
Then, there are the professional productions that have actual sets, use people who are right for their roles, and have very good-to-great special effects. This one falls into that second category. It is a real pro job. Certainly, the acting and delivery of lines can use some fine tuning, but this is an enjoyable production. I look forward to the next part(s) and wish the mercenary bean counters at CBS and/or Paramount would climb back off their high horses and allow these quality extensions to Star Trek of go ahead without constrictions.
Great job Pacific 201 team. Please, keep it up.
Really? I thought the Captain could be recast. He was not authoritative enough, and kind of stilted on his delivery in an emergency situation. The rest of the cast seemed quite young, maybe this was a cadet ship?
The effects and camera angles were top notch though.
That was amazing Henry some spot on Star Trek i am hooked. Great story telling so far. Visuals were A+++ quality, great acting, and very nice props. The way everything was put together I could believe this ship could be built for real. I like this very much will look forward to it next month
As a writer and animated filmmaker, I have to say that was great! Kudos to cast and crew. I love to see a series in the Enterprise era. This looked great, and it was very compelling. I love the paranoia among the crew. This is great drama and I can't wait for the next episode. I wish I was on this show!
CINIMATIC QUALITY! Outstanding!
I cried when I saw lawrence on screen, what an underrated actor for such a great perfomance, surprised I haven't seen him in real strek.
Amazing; out of this world great; no pun intended! Congrats for all the hard work & brilliant writing & direction. Got my attention like someone grabbing me by the jacket! EC Henry got a classic on his hands!
I hope that this gets a lot of attention over the next few days.
SPREAD THE WORD
This was, overall, really well done. It’s as if the future was inhabited entirely of Canadians. Extremely polite. Attractive. Honest. And really, isn’t that a future we all covet?
Aye. The song at the start was actually a musical version of High Flight, by an RCAF pilot (American-born)...
Idk the Captain seems quite bad, all he does is complain and sound annoyed.
Well, people in Star Trek generally do try to be polite, honest and intelligent. That still doesn't make them perfect or infallible. I like that one of the main themes of this fan film is exploring just that, in addition to the topic of various fears and how they influence our thinking, worldviews, and even policies, as a species.
The trauma from the war with the Romulans is making the Earth and early Federation leadership (both civilian and military) a little too paranoid for their own good, trying to focus on military and espionage goals all the while pretending they've refocused on scientific exploration. The experiences of acting captain Vandre and her surviving crew clearly point to that tension and how it's actually undermining the ideals of the Federation and Starfleet, rather than making them more resilient and with the times.
Rader's revelations to Vandre about the actual intriguing things they found, instead of tiresome espionage and realpolitik, gives a little hope for the upcoming 23rd century, as symbolised by the repaired Pacific 201 jumping to warp at the end of the story...
Let's hold hands and sing Oh Canada
Wow. The sheer 𝗲𝗺𝗼𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 that lawrence can convey with just a 𝐥𝐨𝐨𝐤.... Awestruck.
Wait, wait, what?! I'm so happy to finally see this.
Will your people come to their aid?
Finally, a star trek that doesnt involved random background music, dramatic camera movement for almost everything and blue filter
As soon as I seen the Enterprise style uniform and shuttlecraft I was hooked. Great job guys keep it coming you guys have a fan for life
Extremely impressive!!! Hollywood is not capable of Trek these days, you prove again creative & loyal Fans are what keeps the series going.
Good luck with Pacific 101, this is very cool and thought out.
This takes place 40 years after Star Trek Enterprise (2151-2161). Can't wait till part 2
I’ve been following this since the summer of 2019, really happy to see it come to fruition finally! Can’t wait for Part 2!
all these fan vids are made with as much love and care as anyone can expect and all of them deserve a place in the Star Trek cannon.
The acting is hit and miss. Wooden as someone says.
Really like to see that this ship has gotten it's on fan show though!
And I really like the Post-ENT/Pre-TOS era uniforms!
The main character, she sounds Swedish, or at least Scandinavian.
It's still better acting than many of the other Star Wars fan productions on youtube...
For real speech too slow
The ships look fantastic and the effects are spot on! Can’t wait to see more
10000 TIMES BETTER THAN THE DREARY STD WITH ITS FUZZY BLOBS IN SHADOW.
Just watched this and kept thinking to myself... This is the exact sort of Star Trek I’ve been wanting to watch for ages! Very good work! Golden Standard! 😁
18 MINUTES FLEW BY
Star Trek before it was Star Trek.....like being on a Naval Wessel!
Puts the garbage they release as Star Trek these days to shame.
@@craigs71 yes in std the ships are fuzzy badly neon lit blobs filmed in depressing blue light...
@@craigs71 It really, REALLY doesn’t. 😂
I have a background in aeronautical engineering. This is the Baddest Trek design I've ever seen!😮 Award winner🏆
Lawrence is the best character, I was almost convinced he actually believed he was on a federation ship. I'm berry impressed with his performance.
First, let me just say, well done! I gave it a like almost immediately.
I feel actors could use a little more direction and camera could be a little more dynamic.
It looks like you have some sets built, so you should use that to move that camera a little or get different angles.
The ship is just gorgeous! That first shot of it, when you pan around it - oh, wow! You can see the work that went in it.
Kudos to all the actors. You can easily see the effort and passion.
Can't wait to see more!
Most of the Star Trek fan films I've seen need better lighting and camera work. I can never quite put my finger on what's wrong, just that it doesn't look right. If I went to directing school and learned how to set shots up, I'd probably be able to see how to correct it. This fan film does better than most. The camera work could be better, but at least I'm not looking at it and thinking that they've put a lot of work into this just to mess it up with the camera work.
@@bukster1 it looks like a lot of shots are green screen, they are incredibly hard to get right, also it looks like they are shot at 50 or 60fps which gives a very weird look called the "soap opera effect"
Also the soundstage needs work in some shots. I may try to rework them myself, the talking while at the beach early on sounds like they are recorded in a small office, the footsteps in the opening sequence and the chair creaks sound small and not wide as they should.
But then in other scenes, the CGI is amazing and the audio is back to being too notch.
My favourite sound effect is the door, which is clearly someone going pssssshhhwwwww into a mic it's great!!
The camera work did not bother me as much as poor sound editing. There are some really great sound effects, the door opening and closing is not one of them. The actor's voices sound puny/tinny and there is an echo on the set. They need to do a better job with the sound mix. The captain's voice is high tenor speaking range needs to lower a few tones.
Dialogue could be tighter too. People, especially in a crisis, don't always talk in full grammericly correct sentences.
I agree! More direction is especially needed with the actor's energy-levels in stressful situations. The way the XO was hanging from the shuttle was kinda wooden and when she was dragged aboard, she didn't quite react like she was just hanging from the side of a shuttle by her hands, high above a desintegrating planet...
But the visuals are awesome!
All in all, not too bad indeed! Looking forward to the next part.
Live long, prosper and boldly stay where you've been the last several months... your home! 😁
The effects and the ship are just a beauty. Feel like the acting could use some work but otherwise 10/10
Both are much better than your typical fan film imo
@@RedCaio exactly. CBS needs to take notes
The words "I can't" or "I don't know" should never come from the lips of a ship's captain
"I don't know" is the basis and first step of all curiosity, exploration, research....the things starfleet and star trek are based on. Not "pew pew" at jem'hadar or klingons
This fan film is head and shoulders better than Star Trek Discovery. I would pay a subscription to watch this, great job!!!
I love how this is treated like an actual drama.
Acting is a bit stiff but so was TNG Encounter at Farpoint. The effects are really good and the story is good to. Looking forward to part 2.
Stiff? I have seen more fluid acting in the Lee Harvey Oswald prison transfer.
I was thinking the exact thing, Stewart on the first show
I agree. The story and effects are great.
The thing that bugs me the most isn't the acting it's the fact all the doors on this starship sound like someone saying "Psssh" and it cracks me up any time this happens! :D
It's amazing that fans are able to do productions of this quality with a virtually non-existent budget, but an abundance of pure love for the franchise!
This is like 1 million times better than PICARD
Nice.I get a real Trek feeling from this!!
I have to admit, when the Kickstarter for this started, I just pledged because I wanted access to the perks - to me, it looked like most of the other fan-made UA-cam videos I'd watched a few minutes of and then closed out of. Then I kind of forgot about it for a while. But this? Holy crap, this was worth the wait! I'm beyond impressed with the production quality, the acting, and the story. I genuinely didn't want this to end - I was completely enthralled. Honestly, well done. I can't wait for part 2.
*you might also appreciate an older kickstarter project/campaign that's now a bit over four years old called Slice of Life which takes place in the Blade Runner universe...about 25 minutes long and took two years to produce and filmed mostly inside someones garage (you'll never know that)...visually this is one of the best fan made films i've watched in a very long time...Prelude to Axanar is also quite good as well*
Awesome! Enough can't be said about fan productions that keep the spirit of Star Trek alive, well done!!! 👍👍
Ship design is the best I’ve ever seen in Trek. A+++
So glad to see this finally! Really enjoying so far.
Thats seriously one of the best takes on Star Trek aesthetics and technology design i have seen.
Fantastic! Pacific was so worth the wait. Thanks for all your hard work on what I’m sure was a labor of love. Looking forward to part 2 🙂🖖
Oh my God for a fan-made fix that was phenomenal! I'm sorry it's taking me so long to actually watch this!!!!
COME ON!!!!!!!! I'll have a hard time waiting till December can't wait for the next part to come out well done to all involved in this project it looks great
DITTO.
Excellent! A superb job.
That was wonderful! Thank you for this.
Amazing job! The ships, sets, special effects all BEAUTIFUL. Directing and editing as well. Better acting than most fan films I've seen. Well done!
I thoroughly enjoyed it, I wanted more!! Can't wait for part 2!
This is the rebirth of Star Trek. JOB WELL DONE! Thanks for posting this treasure!
that is got to be the most beautiful version of the Federation Anthem
I honestly thought this would never come. Especially considering what happened to Axanar. But Im half it finally here! Looking forward to the next part.
Well, Axanar is back!
Okay, the Pacific just removed defiant as my favourite starlet vessel
THIS IS HOW SHIP SHOULD LOOK AND MOVE INSTEAD OF STD AND STP CRAP.
@@esecallum Hey, nothing wrong with the dandelion seed drive now... :p
I rarely call an actual single favorite anything. But I will say I LOVE this ship too and it's among my favorites. You should see the "Everything there is to Know" video at ua-cam.com/video/L4naoL5BKOY/v-deo.html Can't wait to see more.
Starfleet.

WOW.This was GREAT!!!!! Can't wait for part 2.
I've been looking forward to this project for some time. Very well done. I'm actually watching this for the second time, it's that well done!!
This is amazing so far.
The wait was worth it. Such an impressive film so far! Congratulations.
No matter how badly damaged, a star ship never looses it's artificial gravity.
This is AMAZING. The ship, the uniforms, everything. I love it! THIS is Star Trek!
Excellent! Can't wait until December.
Nice space glasses. She must be allergic to Retinax 5...
maybe she just likes retro stuff
Could be they don't have Retinax 5 yet, this does take place 40 years after the Earth Romulan War, but before the Original Series.
More like Retinax 2.
@Justin Ebanks or cuter. Some guys dig the librarian/ school girl look. I know my BF does 😜
Retinax might be for correcting the stiffness older people get in their lenses, which causes far-sightedness. Might not have anything to do with myopia (near-sightedness). She's too young to need reading glasses.
I am loving this. Thanks for bringing it to us.
fantastic production values and effects. Acting ~mostly~ on spot. This is some great stuff. everyone in it should be proud. Can't wait to go watch part 2
Oh my goodness. This was far, far, FAR above what I expected. PLEASE continue the project. I'm officially a huge fan now.
Ohhhhh, it's finally here! This is beautiful work and I'm super excited for part 2. Well done EC Henry.
Really well done, i am already thrilled to watch part 2 . Congratulations for your work.
Wow!!! This is great!!! Well done and thank you for your hard work!!
Holy shit, this is brilliant. I can't wait for part two, and hopefully more of that Daedalus
The Pacific is not a Daedalus class. Looks more like a precursor to the Constellation class.
@@jimsondergeld2262 I was talking about the ship in the opening scene, the Pacific is alright but I really like the Daedalus
Feels like I’m watching an Canadian Navy training leadership video.
Eh?
@Samuel Stevanus Himawan Far oot! ;o)
I think that's quite a tribute to a fan production that they've struck such a realistic portrayal of military personel who yeah as many say always appear a bit wooden when used in productions but well they are soldiers not actors
ya hoser!
Dunno what you talk'n aboot /s
Wow! What a great production! Terrific sets, costumes, effects, writing and acting. Can’t wait to see more.
Keep making more. The room for improvement has me really excited. All the actors and dialog that had any problems i think is purely a matter of experience. This was a fantastic video!
Very good. I think this is a very good fan film. They put real efforts in this. How do you read the rank insignias and patches and badges. Wow the ship looks Iike a real model! Impressed! Very impressed!
Woooooo!
I am just in complete awe of what you've done!
Well done! One of the best fan productions I've seen yet. Congratulations to "all hands on board."
This is real TREK!
Rock on, Godspeed Pacific 201!
You can tell people who love Star Trek have put this together! Thank you for telling an interesting story!
That was epic. Very well done to all involved! I really look forward to seeing the next part!
Outstanding! I can't wait for part 2!!
