Encarta is a 4 part series which some people feel is what Voyager should have been.
The filmmaker is from Grand Rapids, Mich. (USA). Novel Cinema Pictures RyantheWebber's Channel
There are four films in the series. The first was a high school film project, but as the series progresses, serious film making emerges.

Why haven't reviewed this film like you have others?
ReplyDeleteI would like to refer you to my comment on a similar question about Romulan Wars. The fact is that, I have reviewed far less than half of all the Fan Films I have found. My first priority is simply finding and listing the films. I currently have over 100 possible films I need to look at. Most of them are likely to be shorts, parodies, not Trek, or just people talking about Trek. But among those 100, there could be just 2 films that tell a Trek story, are over 10 minutes, and therefore should be listed, and aren't. Those two films, however, deserve to be listed so that people can find them. They should not have to wait for me to fully review and discuss every film I have already found and listed.
ReplyDeleteMy second priority is to just keep track of new releases and completions of partially released episodes in series I know about for Headline News.
My third priority is to review films that are either very poorly organized, and I have to watch them just to list them properly, or films which are reputed to be so excellent they are likely to be Quick Pick Treasures... films I am recommending to people who aren't sure they even want to watch a fan film. Films that are better than much of the Professional Trek.
After that, I have personal preferences. I prefer to watch films in order, and whenever I don't, I usually regret it. I just reviewed "The Multiverse Crisis"'s Part II "Incident on Beta 9" I'd probably have enjoyed it a lot more if I had waited to watch it until after they release Part I. I realize Encarta may NEVER release Part I, but I usually regret it when I don't watch stuff in order.
For the time being, I am happy to link to a review written elsewhere on the web of what I have heard is a solid effort, a film likely to rate between 2.5 and 4.5.
OH, and one more thing. This website has been up less than 7 months. I'm working as fast as my life permits.
ReplyDeleteDark Hope was really really good
ReplyDeleteI just checked startrekencarta.com and it works again, however it doesn't look anything like it used to according to the way back machine...http://web.archive.org/web/20080620195607/www.startrekencarta.com/main.html
ReplyDeleteI just looked at the link myself, and it just seems to forward you to their You Tube home.
ReplyDeleteYour right. Should update status.
ReplyDeleteWhen will a new encarta movie be out? I want to see new missions and effects.
ReplyDeleteJust watched 'Dark Hope' after finding it on this page, I must say it was really well done. - tgibson
ReplyDeleteThe first film just posted clearly lacks on some levels, but given it's age, the time it was made and what i know it eventually becomes it makes up for it on many levels, it's a shame there isn't more offered from this team, they really hit their stride toward the end. I wonder if Star Trek-Encarta isn't one of the oldest silver age productions?

I've slowly watched these now in reverse order, and I've gotta say I got a kick out of this set. Really pushed the envelope of what kids can do with a camera and a computer.
ReplyDeleteI found Dark Hope rather enjoyable, in some places it's rather jarring, though I would have wished the Captain hadn't lost his marbles.
ReplyDeleteI wish there was more Encarta. The first 2 movies weren't that good, but I kinda like the different approach the filmmaker had to parts 3 and 4.
ReplyDeletethe link to episode 3 "Condemned" is wrong. it points to episode 4. the right link should be:
ReplyDeletehttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HZwVPrJnEhI
that said, that video is blocked in some countries.
anyone got an unblocked version?
greetings, eMBee.
uhm, copy-paste error, the right link is http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xJ3zfsL_-Go
ReplyDeletegreetings, eMBee.
Thank you for that correction! I also did not realize that the film was blocked from my view. I am always grateful to any reader who notifies me of a needed correction!
ReplyDeleteit is also blocked in in a bunch of countries in europe, but apparently it is not blocked in france.
ReplyDeleteyou can watch it via proxfree.com if you select a french proxy.
greetings, eMBee.
i found a mirror of episode 3 at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jp322EohU5Y
ReplyDeleteit appears that the copyright issue is because of music in the end credits. that music has been removed in this version.
greetings, eMBee.
Thank you so much for this wonderful work! I can't say how much I appreciate it both when people let me know my links are bad and even more when they give good links to the readers of this website. Thank you thank you!
ReplyDeleteCan any one make available the first 3 episodes of Star Trek Encarta, never saw them
ReplyDeleteRyan the Producer and Captain, got to much uncalled for unnecessary negative response of his work, they didn't want to see the story, like reading a book, a true Trekkie would, they expect a multibillion production for a mere $500.00 budget, I love every Trek, I listen to the story, my eyes fill in with anticipation of what's coming...
DeleteHow do I watch the first one?
