Summary: Classic "Classic Trek"
Review: By far the best of the Classic series (Yes, even better than "The Voyage Home") and as good as First Contact or Insurrection. Intelligent plot. Witty dialogue. Self-effacing humor throughout. Christopher Plummer as one of the best Trek villians ever. Great special effects. Scotty, Uhura, Chekov and Captain Sulu actually get more than one line a piece! I've watched this one at least six times and never tire of it. Why couldn't they all have been this well made?

Summary: One Great DVD
Review: While the picture quality was OK, the story and sound were excellent. The 2 movie trailers were great, especially the teaser trailer. I loved everything except the picture quality which was more like VHS. I have no regrets on purchasing this DVD.

Summary: Simply the best...
Review: Star trek VI was the best Star Trek movie made thus far. Being both dramatic and poignant, this movie has the qualities that all movies should possess. Definately a worth while effort!

Summary: Paramount Doesn't Fail to Disappoint...Again!
Review: Again, Paramount fails to bring us "TREK" in DVD quality. Just like Generations, the quality of picture was well below that of most "re-mastered for DVD" movies. Although the sound quality was great, it still didn't make up for the "VHS" picture quality. I liked the story a lot, and I enjoyed watching it in the theaters, but on DVD this is average at best. Again, no special features except for the 2 movie trailers. I hope Paramount gets the message that we want the movies to be "re-mastered" for DVD and will pay for it.

Summary: A magnificent send off to the legends of space.
Review: Having Nick Meyer at the helm once again, proves that the original chemistry among the Star Trek family could once again be recaptured. Giving a "darker" image to the movie reflects the plot of what is a teriffic way to say good-bye to the magnificent seven who have had such a great impact on our lives. With the stage being set with the erie opening score, to the final (and quite literal) sign off by the cast, Star Trek VI, The Undiscovered Country once again gives us what true Star Trek fans have come to expect. Stellar performances by Christopher Plummer and William Shatner lead to lessons in racial bigotry, and tolerance to change. Captivated by a proverbial "who done it?", the audience is kept guessing throughout the movie. That along with some spectacualr battle sequences once again gives us Trek at it's best demonstrating the awesome power of the Starship Enterprise, with it's equally awesome crew at her helm. Star Trek VI is entertaining as well as inspirational, fitting Gene Roddenberry's original pattern to the series he created. Star Trek VI is a winner for sure.

Summary: Great movie...good DVD
Review: ST6 is a great movie. This DVD presentation from Paramount Home Video doesn't quite measure up to the original material. The Super 35 image (2.35:1 theatrically) has been cropped to about 2:1 (the same transfer used for the laserdisc), but the picture fares fairly well. The REAL discovery here, though, is the Dolby Digital soundtrack. ST6 has never sounded THIS good--even in the theater, unless you were lucky enough to catch this one in the one few Digital screenings. This 1991 5.1 soundtrack has enough directional effects and bass to rival the newer snazzier 5.1 soundscapes. Also, there are 2 trailers included, including a swell-looking full-length theatrical trailer.Here's hoping that Paramount embraces the 16X9 format in the future, and they start striking NEW transfers of their old laserdisc releases.

Summary: Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country
Review: Undiscovered Country took me back to the best of Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan. The suspense and intrigue was truly befitting a Star Trek movie. And the way in which the torch is passed on, is all befitting an ensemble crew of actors who have provided the world with the story of a future that is very possible. It is also brought a tear to my eye, to say goodbye to some dear old friends that I had known since I was a teenager. But as Spock says in the movie, "All Good Things Must Come to an End."

Summary: EXCELLENT
Review: THIS ONE MAKES UP FOR THE FIASCO OF STAR TREK 5. IT IS EASY FOR ALL TREKKIES AND ALL NON-TREKKIES TO FOLLOW,WITH SIMPLE BUT EXCITING PLOT LINES TO FOLLOW. THE ONLY PART THAT SEEMED SAD IS HOW AGE IS CREEPING UP WITH THE CREW,NO MATTER HOW MUCH MAKE-UP THEY WEAR

Summary: Good movie but DVD sound is not that great
Review: Probably one of my favorite Star Trek movies (including ST II and First Contact) but unfortunately, the quality of the sound on this DVD leaves something to be desired. Some scenes were very loud and some were to low and I kept on trying to keep it even. There are even some sections that the sound is cut out all together.

Summary: Great Movie, Dumb DVD
Review: With Paramount jumping on the DVD bandwagon, it's good to see some of our favorite Star Trek films now available on DVD. With the initial release of First Contact, featuring a 16x9 enhanced widescreen presentation, I figured Paramount was heading in the right direction. Generations was released soon after, but lacked the 16x9 enhancement - which would have been the only reason why I would have purchased that movie. The original Laser was one of the first Dolby Digital laserdiscs, and I didnt see the cost justification. However, Star Trek VI was *the* first Dolby Digital film, period. Dolby Labs considered it an experiment at the time. I knew the DVD would be 5.1 enhanced, so I preordered this movie. It was bad. While the sound was great, the widescreen was not even at the original ratio (around a 2.1:1, the laserdisc had the same problem) And they had the nerve to put the subtitles in the lower black bar, which were cut off on my 16x9 TV. It looked like a duplicate of the laserdisc, and they thought they could just compensate by pushing the film up higher, thus eliminating the top black bar in widescreen mode. Most of these subtitles below were cut off. While I give the 2 stars for the Dolby Digital sound, I give it no stars for grainy video and poor widescreen implementation. If you have the original laserdisc, and are satisfied with the sound quality, don't bother with the DVD.
