Orlando Sentinel, Jay Boyar,

**,

The problem with 'Trekkies'...is that it's simply a hodgepodge of interviews with fans, cast members and so on. Basically, it's a superficial TV newsmagazine report stretched out to nearly an hour and a half. ... An in-depth documentary about one particular fanatical fan might have been fresher or, at least, more focused. Or Nygard could have devoted the entire film to a particular Star Trek convention."
