Star Trek XXX 2: The Butterfly Effect (4½ Stars)
This is Axel Braun's second Star Trek sex parody. If you're new to this blog you can find my general thoughts on Mr. Braun's work in my reviews of Batman XXX and Star Trek XXX.
Overall this is an improvement on the first film. My only criticism is that the Kennedy assassination subplot wasn't played out sufficiently. I was disappointed that it was "wrapped up" with a few casual remarks, when I was expecting a second journey into the past to repair Sulu and Chekov's meddling. For me this is another example of a film which has been shortened to keep it within "acceptable limits", rather than adding an extra hour to the story.
Just a few words about the actor who plays Captain Kirk, Evan Stone. If you've never heard of him you'll be surprised to know that he's the most prolific actor ever, having starred in about 850 films. Before you say "that doesn't count, because they were mainly porn films" I'd like to point out that even among porn stars this is exceptional. No other porn star comes even close to this achievement, and he's still making 70 or more films a year. The last chapter in his life story has still to be written. He may not earn as much money as Brad Pitt, but he has a lot more sex.
What makes Evan so special? Why does he stand out above all the other porn stars today? Apart from having the usual attributes that men need in the porn business, he can act, he's hard working and he's an overall nice guy. He's the sort of guy a girl can take home to meet her parents, although she'd probably be in a hurry to get him alone after dinner. If you've never seen any of his films, the best place to start is any of his films directed by Fred Olen Ray, for instance "Teenage Cavegirl" or "Ghost in a Teeny Bikini".
