From SciFi:
Star Trek stars Denise Crosby, Dominic Keating, Casey Biggs and others joined fans for a screening of the straight-to-video sequel documentary Trekkies 2 at Paramount Pictures in Los Angeles on April 14. Documentary director Roger Nygard and producer Michael Leahy were also on hand to unveil the documentary, a tongue-in-cheek homage to Trek fandom worldwide and the follow-up to 1997's original Trekkies.
In the 90-minute documentary, Crosby (Tasha Yar from Star Trek: The Next Generation) again acts as the on-camera host and interviewer as the film chronicles Trek fans in Germany, France, Italy, Australia, Serbia, Brazil and the United States and catches up with Trekkies interviewed in the original documentary in 1996.
Fans featured in both the first and second films also attended the screening, including a grown-up Gabriel Köerner (who also did the sequel's visual effects), the Rev. Bernie Carman and members of the Sacramento, Calif.,-based Star Trek tribute bands No Kill I, No Kill I: The Next Generation, Stovokor and Warp 11.
No release date has been set for Trekkies 2, but the documentary will screen at selected film festivals in the coming weeks.

* The 1st one was pretty funny, and if you laughed at Galaxy Quest, then you will probably find the Trekkies movies funny as well.
