Free Enterprise
Free Enterprise shows how one man had a great influence on 2 children as they grew up, this man -- William Shatner. After reaching adulthood, these 2 friends finally get to meet their great hero, and find out he is not exactly what they expected. Shatner does a surprisingly good job of portraying a fictional version of himself, other actors in this film are pretty much unknown, but do a great job. If you are a fan of Star Trek, sci-fi in general, a HT buff, or a movie buff you will relate to these characters. There are many references to "classic" sci-fi movies and the joys and wonders of Home Theater. The story, besides Shatner, includes a love story and the interaction between a group of 4 friends, a reasonably interesting character study.
The Picture:
The picture is quite clear, there are no noticeable defects in the transfer.
The Sound:
Sound-wise, the DVD is fine. This is not an effect or sound driven movie. You will be perfectly happy with the sound, though you may want to have the mute button within reach when Shatner starts to sing.
The Extras:
The extras are quite comprehensive. The commentary discusses various aspects of the file from the perspective of a first time writer and director. The featurette is quite nice and tells the story of how 2 Start Trek fans got Shatner to do this low-budget independent film as well and how they financed it to begin with. There are also some deleted scenes and story boards that are worth a look-see.
Conclusion:
Overall, an entertaining movie. Members of DVD Talk will probably enjoy this movie more than most due to all the HT references. For Star Trek comic book, and sci-fi fans this movie is a must see.
