Gets into the heart and soul of what it means to be an actor in Star Trek. Shatner had fantastic talks with each of the captains, and talked about how the role affected them. I particularly loved the conversation he had with Patrick Stewart.

Putting aside my problems I oftentimes have with Shatner I must say this was really good. It´s a lot of the usual lighthearted talk most of us fans probably have heard before. But it is the moments when it gets really personal and The Captains open up that, for me, made all the difference and why I say that as a Star Trek fan this is well worth seeing and way better than its actual rating of 68 %. [spoiler] But, man, is Avery on a different plane of existence or what ? [/spoiler]

This "documentary" was surprisingly personal and reveals some of the more... human sides to the actors of these beloved characters. Although not all actors get an equal amount of screen-time it'll sure bring a smile or two (at least) on your face whether it's one of William Shatner's anecdotes, a heart-felt confession by Patrick Steward or an ignored (?) question by Avery "Wap wap doo bi bibbly bobbley yeah baby dap dap badoop shap shap bidiwap dabop beep bobbly foo *insane laughter*" Brooks... It's all gold. The only downside is that it's sequel ("The Captains Close Up") uses a few scenes from this to fill up it's length. Be sure to watch this one first (unlike I did)... Although it would have been better to mash these two together.
