An unprecedented examination of the impact the Star Trek experience has had on the franchise's most celebrated participants: William Shatner and Leonard Nimoy. These two stars have arguably embodied the brightest icons in the sci-fi universe; Shatner as passionate Captain James T. Kirk, and Nimoy as logical-minded, half Vulcan Mr. Spock.

A bit overrated, but still an amazing film
It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.
The acting in this movie is really good.
"Mind Meld" exceeded all my expectations for a film of this nature. It's hard to imagine how two guys sitting together and talking could be so fascinating, but I found myself riveted by the insights and interaction between these two fellows discussing such a famous and well-known series. Not a moment of boredom to be found here.The re-watchability factor is surprisingly high as well. I've seen "Mind Meld" now about 4 times, and found it equally interesting each viewing. Not sure why that is, but it makes purchasing the DVD a really good idea. I ended up doing just that, and am not sorry. One of the most interesting one-to-one's I've seen. Recommended for anyone who's even a slight fan of the original "Star Trek" series.
I am a huge fan of Star Trek the original series.If you are not, you will likely find this documentary pretty boring and a bit pointless.This is more about Shatner and Nemoy and their personal life and outlooks and how star trek effected them.. then actually about star trek the TV show.It is well done and very interesting,and we get a glimpse of the inside of Nemoys home.The DVD has a few nice extras on it including "the making of"Worth watching if you like this sort of thing,and you definitely learn a thing or two about the pair, ex specially Nemoy,he seems more open and sincere.Well made.
This will be brief commentary about a great program. I loved this DVD, It was very interesting to see what Kirk & Spock had to say about their lives on and off Star Trek.This is a great program if you like Star Trek or are a fan of Mr Shatner or Mr Nimoy. If not, this i just 70 minutes of boring conversation.But i loved it, and i loved it a lot.
Your reaction to this program is going to depend on your affection for these two performers and the iconic characters they've portrayed over nearly thirty five years. I've never been to a Star Trek convention ("not that there's anything wrong with that"), and I was late coming to the original series. Still I was fascinated, moved and totally absorbed in listening to and watching these two men interact. For fans of the series and/or movies this is quite a gift. Both Shatner and Nimoy are very articulate, and their conversation covers a broad range of topics relating to both their personal and professional lives. This video taped conversation takes place in the back yard of Nimoy's home and, briefly, in his den. The affection and respect that these two men share for each other is very apparent. I highly recommend this program to those who appreciate Star Trek in its many incarnations, and to those who admire the work of William Shatner and L
