FEATURED REVIEWS FOR Shatner's World: We Just Live In It

Time Out Theater Review: 'Shatner’s World: We Just Live In It'
7 / 10

Shatner and his director, Scott Faris, aren’t exploring any formal frontiers in this minimalist setup. There are a couple of chairs, a few unused props and a large planet-shaped screen upon which the crew projects photos and videos from Shatner’s career on stage and famously in the “Star Trek” series and movies. In between these video interludes, Shatner pilots a rolling office chair, regaling us with tales of his boyhood in Montreal, early thespian experiences with the Stratford Shakespeare Festival and how “Star Trek” led to a long-standing friendship with NASA.

Shatner’s World Review: Captain Kirk Back On Broadway
7 / 10

This may be the most familiar William Shatner of all – Shatner as talk show guest. In 100 minutes, an amiable, informal Shatner tells the sort of jokes and anecdotes that you have heard him deliver on Johnny Carson/Merv Griffin/Leno/Letterman over the last 100 years — sometimes corny, sometimes mildly self-deprecating, often semi-humorous, occasionally semi-coherent. ... Shatner’s aim seems to turn his life story into an entertainment that is no more taxing, and no less relaxed, than the Tonight Show. Too often, though, it is way too relaxed. ... Your tolerance for such sloppiness masquerading as spontaneity surely depends on how much of a William Shatner fan you are, and what you expect for $126.50.

Review - Shatner's World: We Just Live In It & Tokio Confidential
by Ben Peltz - February 17, 2012


Oddly enough, the most interesting personal observation to be pondered in Shatner's World: We Just Live In It is spoken, not by the titular William Shatner, but by Patrick Stewart.  In a television clip, a conversation between the two captains of the Starship Enterprise, Stewart explains how, despite his acclaim as a classical actor of the stage, he's quite certain that his role of Captain Jean-Luc Picard on Star Trek: The Next Generation, is what he will ultimately be remembered for.  And he's fine with that.
