Obviously, it's built around interviews. However, it does not present most of it as interviews. Most of the film feels like informal discussions, and the snippets that were chosen highlighted the individual far more often than the show. The only real exception was with Kerry McCluggage, who seems to be responding directly to questions and divulging information about the interests and intentions of the studio at the time. Most of the interviews were more like (SPOILERS AHEAD) the sections on Marc Alaimo, how peculiar he was as an actor, how he tried to dominate every scene, and how he wanted Nana Visitor. He seemed more like a quirky person than someone trying to tell us about his intentions and processes.
I'm sure there was a lot disappointment and criticism that still rattles Ira Behr but he should consider that in its time DS9 was as popular as Voyager if I remember correctly. Both series got 7 years. Enterprise got 4. Even the TNG movies got less and less popular.
So in hindsight DS9 was more or less just as popular as every series that followed TNG.

10-15 minutes, maybe.
ETA: It was interesting, but something of an emotional letdown after the documentary.

What did they discuss?
Backing process, working to get the HD footage together.
Well, I am extraordinarily mad at myself.
I bought the ticket a couple weeks ago, because I was lucky enough to discover it would play in a theater I could almost walk to. However, since I work overnight, my mind and body are completely at odds with everything else.
My mind has been so off lately that I completely forgot it was yesterday that it is showing, and set my alarm as if going to work instead of setting it to see the movie.
I have been looking forward to seeing this on the big screen for months, and I miss it because I basically became an idiot for a day. The worst part was when I woke up, my wife just casually asked which Monday it was showing, and it was at that moment I realized I had completely forgotten it was the right day for it.
My favorite STAR TREK series showing on the big screen... and I forgot about it. I cried on the inside, and a single man tear may have escaped. I was so depressed about it the rest of the night and while I was at work. And I am still very mad at myself.
My wife felt like it was partly her fault because she didn't remind me, but I told her this was a fuckup entirely on me. She still felt so bad for me, and got me a burger, hot dog, and fries from Five Guys, my favorite place for those things, and we watched the next episode on the watch list as we ate, before I went to work. When we do this, we call it 'DS DINE'. We've watched many episodes like this.
She even texted me a fluffy creature's internet hugs while I was at work to try to keep my spirits up. She's a good woman... I married well.
I am happy, though, that all of you who did attend enjoyed it, and were not alone in viewing it.

Damn, that really sucks. 
It's been a few weeks since I've watched it. Refresh my memory, what did she say about him?
She said something like she would have Kira have an affair with anyone but Marc Alaimo. Then Terry and Nana started laughing and said to cut and change it to having an affair with anyone but Dukat.
Ah, yes, now I remember. Thanks.
Um, they do realize it was a slip-of-the-tongue moment, right?
That's how I read it. After all, Marc Alaimo is the real person, not Dukat. It makes sense that she would think of him as Marc first.Um, they do realize it was a slip-of-the-tongue moment, right?
Sorry. I know how it feels.
Had a great time. I wish I had known about this during the funding stage, especially as I covet that Kira shirt.
The theater I saw it in, at a Cinemark in western Mass., was close to full. They didn't have the posters, though. But they ended up giving us a free pass to the theater because it took them a while to figure out how to run the DVR, so we saw the control menu for a while after the trivia. It really wasn't a big deal, but who's going to complain about getting a free movie pass?
I loved that they started the movie with some of the hate mail DS9 got. Trekkies have never liked anything new, it seems. There were a number of references and digs that reminded me why I probable loved this show the best of the TNG era: the mind of that man with the blue beard.

Saw it last night with my mom as a belated mother's day present to her.
There was some tension in the theater because for some reason the film started over 15 minutes late. And they were playing annoying smooth jazz very loudly while we all impatiently waited. I dunno if it's because they normally play trailers/commercials before the films, but didn't in this case, but it was very irritating.
My feeling on the film itself was similar to others - great overall. I didn't learn that much more than I did from the DS9 chapter of the Fifty-Year Mission, but it was entertaining, with more than a few laughs. I wish they had a few less scenes regarding the bad fan reaction to the series when broadcast (everyone who is seeing it is a die-hard fan after all) but overall I just wish, like Nana said, that there was more of everything, and it was an eight-hour documentary.
