SEV TREK: PUS IN BOOTS (DVD Review) - 26/10/08

Very scant information is available on this DVD and getting hold of a copy is like finding 'Hen's teeth' - I only came across it by accident on eBay and had to import it in from Australia. No doubt the great fist of Paramount came crashing down and obliterated it. Not only is the mimicry spot on (If you will forgive the pun) the classic Next Generation cliches are all brought to the fore as well as previous Trek outings. In fact the whole shebang must have infuriated Paramount as scene by scene the pisstake continues from the sets, costumes and all. Even the DVD cover is a rip-off of the film poster series and there are also a nice pile of extras added from the original hand-drawn cartoon to production sketches and animation comparison's. If you like comedy and it's also a reflection on one of your favourite TV shows this would be for you (If you can find it of course?) Commander Piker of the Sevship Enterforaprize develops a sentient zit which escapes and is pursued around the ship by the crew followed by witty one-liners and a gratuitous space battle whilst numerous Red Shirt Ensigns get it in the neck - A cracking 3D animated parody!
