Synopsis: Egotistical old ham shows up at former co-star’s home to ask him a bunch of personal questions.
Blurb From imdb.com: “If you are a Star Trek fan I think you will find this documentary interesting. This is mainly 75 Shatner + Nimoy discussing various aspects of the original series and their private lives how they related to the show.” [Folks, this is a word-for-word transcription of what I found on the site]
What Did I Learn?: 1) Apparently, Shatner and Nimoy are the “best of friends” according to the narrator of this film. 2) When Nimoy left the Army in the early 1950s, he was basically broke and had a family to feed, so he drove a cab, took odd jobs and deeply resented good-looking actors like Shatner who were given the plum acting roles.
You Might Like This Movie If: You've always wanted to know what Nimoy really thought about his former co-star.
Really?: See: “What Did I Learn?” #1. [Interestingly, Shatner believes the rift started when Nimoy didn’t want to take part in his film, The Captains]
Rating: Mind Meld is the least polished of Shatner’s Trek-based documentaries - it consists of a long, outdoor interview - but it’s probably the best, because the audience is treated to an in-depth conversation about a deeply influential science fiction franchise, show business and acting, and their own personal biographies. My only complaints would be Shatner’s strange interviewing style, and a bit too much mutual ass-kissing. 7.5/10 stars.
