acid reflects

Reviewing “Starfleet” the documentary, as a film in the 24th century (AKA Strange New Worlds S3E7):

Media crewman Beto Ortegas (Mynor Luken) presents an in-universe documentary that seeks to define what Starfleet is from the point of view of the main officers of the crew of Starfleet’s flagship, the Enterprise.

Narratively uneven, dishonest, and obsessed with form. After going about following officers in their stations and quarters and interrogating them, the docu makes this haphazard definition of what Starfleet is about. No portion from the regular ensigns, the brutes in the lower decks, the admins from HQ who send commands from shareholder boardrooms.

I mean, its coverage is amazing, that it has a camera angle for every line of dialogue. I wondered, as a filmmaker, how the documentarist was able to have his ONE drone instantly fly and find an angle for cut-to-cut multiple conversations. Also hate it when the documentarist tries to take center of attention.

AS AN EPISODE, I hate the excessive cutting for the effect.

That said, Strange New Worlds S3E7 is relevant to the times, and is symbolic that it is told from the POV of youth.
