Book Reviews of Star Trek: Ships of the Line: 2009 Wall Calendar
Book Review: As always a great calendar for Trekkies
Summary: 5 Stars
First /Rant on..
I don't know if some of the people reviewing below have purchased the Ships of the line calendar for the first time or not however since the last 4 years or so these calendars have always been in a wide-screen "paranomic" format(the way they are supposed to be). The emphasis with this series of star trek calendars is to showcase the excellent almost movie quality art in the widest format as possible on a calendar. As a result the images nearly have a poster quality look to them and hence the 16*9 reminiscent layout. This calendar is not supposed to be used for writing stuff up or have huge fonts for dates as the images will loose their epic paranomic quality with the resulting shrinkage of space. Go buy a cheap vertical flatback calendar if you sooo need to write stuff up on your calendars or need to have huge numerical fonts but leave us trekkies alone to enjoy the star trek art the way its supposed to.
/Rant off
I have been buying Ships of the line calendar(paranomic version) since 2004. These calendars have always showcased great star trek art over all these years and has been a must have for trekkies or trekkers. However in last few years I think the art lacked imagination and there was too much emphasis on just one Star Trek series. They didnt really capture 'To boldly go...' feeling of star trek. Well this year I must say I am pleasently surprised.
This time around all of the calendar art has a imaginative feel to it and also a wow factor. They cover nearly all the Trek series this time around with Enterprise series notably missing(finally). Some of them show-cases nice shots of ships while others are more action oriented with ships engaged in battle. The action driven pieces appear to be the most attention drawing. Now as before they appear to be drawn rather than being photo-realistic but the depth and creativity of the art more than makes up for it. One of the art 'To reach the quadrant in 80 days' will adorn my wall as a poster in the near future.
In a nutshell this calendar has great imaginative art with that Star Trek feel to it. In my view its a must buy for a trekkie and well worth the price.
