{5\/5} “Hold on to your bricks.”<\/p>\n
Aside from a few Star Trek<\/strong> fan films like Star Trek Continues<\/strong><\/a> and Star Trek: Aurora<\/strong><\/a>, the only other fan films I’ve seen are the recent Alien<\/strong> 40th anniversary fan films<\/a>. But this<\/a> list from WhatCulture encouraged me to check some out.<\/p>\n The Hunt for Gollum<\/strong><\/p>\n To start thing off, here’s The Hunt for Gollum<\/strong>. It’s an astonishing prequel to The Lord of the Rings<\/strong>, apparently taken from one of the appendices. It doesn’t stand alone, of course, but in the context of The Lord of the Rings<\/strong> it’s very impressive. The characters of Aragorn, Gandalf, and Gollum feel like themselves — although Aragorn seems to have a sixth sense I don’t remember him having before. The visuals are tremendous, and give you the feel of Middle-earth for those who have been there before.<\/p>\n The Hunt For Gollum (Redux) – Award winning Tolkien short film<\/a><\/p>\n Darth Maul: Apprentice<\/strong><\/p>\n Next we have Darth Maul: Apprentice<\/strong>. It’s an encounter between Darth Maul and some Jedi, with a special appearance by the Emperor. It contains one of the best light saber battles ever filmed — if not the best. If the prequel trilogy had as much heart as this short, it would be worth watching.<\/p>\n DARTH MAUL: Apprentice – A Star Wars Fan-Film<\/a><\/p>\n Spider-Man: Eclipse<\/strong><\/p>\n Here’s Spider-Man: Eclipse<\/strong>, a nice slice of Peter Parker aka Spider-Man’s life. We see him fighting some bad guys with acrobatic moves, and we see him with Mary Jane, who at this point knows he’s Spider-Man.<\/p>\n
