Synopsis:

From IMDb: “A star’s trek for life, liberty, and love.”

Poster: D+

Review: A color-challenged, overly simplistic design that might temporarily interest fans of George Takei, but which isn’t likely to bring them to the theater.

Trailer: B-

Review: As fascinating a figure as Takei is, the trailer for the documentary paints an almost lifeless picture of the celeb. It almost makes the man seem like an uninteresting person that few would want to know more about, which is certainly not the case.

Oscar Prospects:

I highly doubt the documentary branch of the Academy will go for a feature about a popular celebrity like George Takei. It could be the film highlighting the gay experience that secures a nomination, but I’m not sure it will be controversial enough.

Revisions:

(July 5, 2014) Original
