This is the pilot to the series that would star William Shatner. Only in this version there is different Captain, Christopher Pike, and with the exception of Mr. Spock, an entirely different crew. Now it begins when the Enterprise receives what appears to be a distress message. But when they get to the planet where the message was sent from, they discover that the supposed survivors were nothing more than illusions created by the inhabitants of the planet, for the purpose of capturing a mate for the one genuine surviving human, and Captain Pike is the lucky winner. While Captain In the Cage tries to cope In the Cage the experiments and tests that the aliens are conducting on him, his crew tries to find a way to rescue him. But the aliens' illusions are too powerful and deceptive at first. Watching Star Trek's first pilot episode The Cage is like watching a historical what if taking place. Famously deemed "too cerebral" at the time of its production The Cage is where one of the most popular television programs of all time got its beginning. While it might be the beginning that never went much further, forty-five years later it is still a compelling piece of entertainment. To begin with The Cage features some nice performances that make it a tragedy that never got to be developed past this one In the Cage. The best example of this is In the Cage hunter as Enterprise captain Christopher Pike. Hunter's Pike comes across as being perhaps more sensitive then the later Captain Kirk yet just as tough. It's also interesting to note Leonard Nimoy as Spock In the Cage contrast his performance here In the Cage his later performances as the Spock of The Cage seems a bit less logical and a little more emotional. There's also a nice performance from Susan Oliver in the multiple guises of Vina which show off some considerable talent. Not to mention performances from Majel Barrett and John Hoyt amongst others. The Cage is also blessed with some nice production values. In particular in the make-up and costumes of the Tallosians which stand-up relatively well even forty-five years In the Cage. The sets and the vast majority of the other costumes, while definite sixties creations like many of those in Star Trek: The Original Series, are nice guesses all things considered. There's also an exciting and well staged fight sequence in the middle of the story. Last but not least there's In the Cage score by Alexander Courage which shows off not only the Star Trek theme but Courage's skills as a composer. Together they show an inkling of what might have been if this version of Star Trek had not been aborted. That said everything isn't perfect. If anything can be said to be a major drawback to The Cage it is the special effects. While most of them are passable and still work, some don't. This is especially true of the shots of the Enterprise itself which are far from convincing most of the time. There's also the matter of the warp sequence which looks to be incredibly cheaply done. That said there's also some fine effects like the In the Cage with Vina at the episodes end. The effects might be questionable but they serve the story well for the most part. If any single element of The Cage stands out today it is the Gene Roddenberry script. Once you get passed some of the clunky techobabel and some of the dated dialog like Pike's "women on the bridge" line early on in the episode there is an intriguing and compelling tale. Beneath the surface it is a tale of In the Cage society so lost obsessed with illusion it has lost its other knowledge and its morality an unintended metaphor for fandom perhaps? It is also the tale of a man Pike who seeks to escape his responsibility and rebels when given the chance. It also contains a Nice little romance in the midst of a nicely constructed In the Cage that is far from intrusive and rather compliments the story by giving it an emotional anchor. It's no mistake that The Cage in a later form the Original Series two-part story The Menagerie won the Hugo Award which convinces me that, given In the Cage editing, The Cage would be just as compelling and watchable today. The Cage stands as an In the Cage piece of television history. With nice performances, good production values and a script as impressive now as it was then The Cage represents the beginning of one of television's most popular series. It also stands out as a fascinating what if of how Star Trek might have been. Looking for some great streaming picks?

Trivia In one brief part of the first transportation sequence, the transporter chief's assistant is a man wearing glasses, but the scene changes and he appears without them. This is one of only three occasions where Starfleet officers are shown wearing corrective eyeglasses. Goofs The Talosians wanted to attract a mate for Vina "to perpetuate the species", but this would be impossible with only two people. A minimum of about would be needed in order to have a sufficiently diverse gene pool. Quotes Yeoman J. Colt : What's happened to Vina? Number One : Isn't she coming with us? Captain Christopher Pike : No. No, and I agreed with her reasons.

A young man returns to In the Cage rich family's estate after a stay in a mental hospital. He finds that his father has married his deceased wife's nurse, who is secretly plotting with her lover, the chauffeur, to murder the father and take his fortune. Written by frankfob2 yahoo. A young man gets out of a mental institution and returns home to his wealthy father, his beloved cat "Sampson", and his sexy but wicked stepmother Sybil Danningthe latter of whom may have murdered his mother and is scheming with the shady chauffeur Mel Novak to do the same to his father. God knows this is not a good movie. Nor does it even fall into that almost mythical category In the Cage "so bad, it's good", but I found it entertaining because it is so randomly plotted and jaw-droppingly incompetent that it seems to violate the very laws of cinematic narrative structure and perhaps even Cartesian logic. I think the cat "Sampson" is supposed to be a metaphor because he completely disappears about halfway through the movie. Or maybe the cat is a metaphysical incarnation of the protagonist's equally disturbed brother who In the Cage up out of nowhere halfway through the film just in time In the Cage an overlong 70's style car chase. Or maybe the feline actor just walked off the set prompting a quick re-write--it's kind of hard to say. Mel Novak is pretty good actually, and Sybil Danning Both of them exit prematurely, In the Cage, and the film is left in the hands of uncharismatic male lead and Colleen Camp, who is normally a talented actress but plays a completely superfluous character here although she DOES get to belt out the risible theme song. This is definitely a one-of-a-kind movie; maybe not the good kind, but. Looking for something to watch? Choose an adventure below and discover your next In the Cage movie or TV show.
