Rating: Summary: Star Trek Review: It is the best collection I have ever bought. I coudn't be happier. Some people say that star wars is a good DVD but it's nothing compared to this wonderful collection of all 9 Star Trek movies.
Rating: Summary: STAR TREK ...#1 Review: IT WAS SAID THAT STAR TREK IS THE FOUNDATION OF GREAT SCIFI AND SPACE ADVENTURE, MOSTLY MEANT FOR ADULTS- AND THE STAR WARS IS FOR CHILDREN(thought enjoyable)..Never the less, all who love scifi will not be disappointed by the series here that I plan on buying !...........ENJOY ALL SCIFI , IT IS WORTH IT !
Rating: Summary: Get these great movies while you can Review: Its true that special editions of the Trek movies will be coming out over the next couple of years, but if you just want to add the wonderful Trek flicks to your collection and aren't concerned with the extra features of pricier special editions, this is the set to buy. This will only be available at this relatively inexpensive price before the 2 disc each special editions come out. As a movie fan, I've always been impressed with the quality of the Trek flicks.
Rating: Summary: Awesome movies Review: looks like they came out with a new set with all the movies including special editions of the first 5 movies and the last 2.
Rating: Summary: Complainers Review: Once again the whiners are out in force. These DVDs are wonderful. It is true thaere are not many special features. However, these movies are great sci-fi (at least most of them) and stand on their own merit. I think Paramount was great for releasing them.As far as the classic TV series. I bought all 40 volumes and love them. The list (x-files, Simpsons etc.) are all shows made in the '80s and thus did not take as much work to bring to DVD. The Simpsons is already broadcast in Dolby Digital so again not much work went into it. No one has asked how much it cost Paramount to restore the old series to near pristine condition and add 5.1. 40 Volumes relaeased over 3 years at around 13.99 a volume seems reasonable to me for an old show. I understand they are releasing an entire season of TNG at one time. They can do that with a newer show. TNG is sub par to the original series in content anyhow, but I won't get into that. So stop whining about Paramount, watch these 9 movies and enjoy them, the way they were meant to be enjoyed.
Rating: Summary: Another marketing scam to get you to spend more money Review: That's all that this is. A way to get you to spend more money. They already released a boxed set with all nine movies in it, but it only contained one special edition (ST1) and the rest were regular releases. This time, they added two more special editions (ST's 2 & 3). For Petes sake guys, wait until they release a box set with ALL of them special edition, or just buy them each individually as each of the special editions come out. Yes, this is the cheapest way to get all the movies currently, but if you're a special edition freak like me, just wait a little longer. IV is coming out on Sp. Ed. soon anyhow, so you're just going to end up spending another 20 bucks in a few months. Or just buy the Star Wars movies instead, cuz they're a much better sci-fi series. :-P

Rating: Summary: Hold out Review: The special editions are coming! They're done with the first six already, making this collection out of date. Another blow to the set is Nemesis' DVD release. The two together tell me about how old this set is. (Eric, Montalban's chest is real. Meyer says so on one of the featurettes. It's his trainer's fault if it looks cheesy.)
Rating: Summary: Not all Special features Review: The Special features of any DVD are a nice addition to the quality we expect from DVD. But the whole point of DVD is Digital-Quality Audio-Video. Of the highest possible that MPEG-2 can deliver. And DVD Movies deliver that. The quality is at same level as Broadcast. Blowing away VHS & Internet Streaming. This is why DVD was invented. To give the consumer the highest potential Audio- Video quality. If the DVD includes Special Features, then this adds to the already great DVD experience. I love the special features too, just like anyone out there. Its makes DVD even more desirable. As though the Digital Audio-Video experience wasn't enough. I will applaud the release of the Special Editions of the Star Wars Trilogy & Special Editions of Star Trek Movies. But, I can be content with the awesome Digital Experience of the current Star Trek 9-disc collection too. I fear we are getting spoiled with Special Edition features. Though, they are nice. I do not think they are absolutely required. Remember where we were with VHS. Look where we are with DVD. We've come along way. VHS is being phased out. Though, it will still appeal to the Camcorder and home movie market. Analog TV itself is slowly being phased out. Digital is truely the way of the future. That holds true now more than ever before.
Rating: Summary: Do Not Buy This -- Be Patient! Review: There is no point in purchasing this set when it only includes a few of the special edition DVDs. Despite the attractiveness of the box itself, it is best to wait until all of special/director's edition movies come out.
