The Holy Core was a two part fan film directed by Gary O’Brien and was set in The Next Generation era.

This fan production used the full 30 minutes allocated to them plus 47 seconds but nobody should mind that 47 seconds part.

This fan film is one that takes a look at religion much like when you see episodes of Deep Space Nine that take a look at Bajoran religion.

The film has a mixture of elements in the storyline and they include science, religion, relationships, betrayal and more.

The episode has a cast of six and that’s all that is needed and everyone plays their part well.

The CGI is fantastic as there are plenty of closeups of the USS Vigilance and and the old TNG era boxlike Shuttlecraft and the start of the film was impressive.

The sets were fantastic as the majority of the scenes had physical sets and minimal CGI  was required for areas needed to be filled.

Nothing looked out of place on the physical sets and the sound quality was fantastic as well with all the cast easy to hear

This was a great fan film and it wouldn’t have looked out of place on TNG if the USS Vigilance was replaced by the USS Enterprise and its cast.

Rating: 4.5 out of 5.
