Summary: Movies are great, but be patient
Review: There's not much to be said about the Star Trek movies that you don't already know. Either you don't care for the series, in which case you're not reading this review. Or you know them, love them and you're just trying to decide how to spend your hard-earned money. So I'm not going to aim this review at describing the movies, but the DVD set.It's simple: If you MUST have the movies today, you might want to buy the set. They're all in widescreen, the transfers are top notch. Not a lot of extras for the most part, except for Star Trek I. But you will not be displeased. On the other hand, you should strongly consider whether you're going to let Paramount double-dip you on this one. They are slowly releasing special edition/director's cuts of the movies. So this box, with one special edition, will soon get replaced with one with two special editions (Wrath of Kahn SE is due out in August), then one with three, etc. With each one, you will get more extras, some restored scenes and possibly improved sound. This especially applies to the early movies. The Star Trek I special edition is a noticeable and substantially improved over the old DVD. So I'd personally save my money and buy each special edition as it comes out or wait until the whole set is done. The more you let studios double-dip and take your money from you twice, the more that will encourage them to do it.

Summary: IF YOU LIKE SCI-FI you'll like this!!!
Review: These are very good movies!!! I was very surprised that the review was low. Even though I'm 11 my Dad got me into the TREK movies. If you like SCI-FI you will LIKE THIS. There's action, Drama and basicaly any thing else you can think of. There are some downfalls like 1 of them isn't very long and there's not alot of action, but I must of watched it 100 times, so it dosen't come to me like it used to. I know some friends that like this movie he best. All the other movies are 100,000,0000,000,000,000 stars.

Summary: Hold out
Review: This Box set was one of the first DVD sets I got, almost a year ago. It includes all of the Star Trek movies up to and including Insurrection. This set does not have Nemesis. A NEW BOX SET with that 10th Movie is out now. Heads Up -- this 9 movie set (which I own and watched) and the other 10 movie collection do not include all of the Special Editions. So you get a little less bonus material, and it is pricey. But hey, it is Star Trek. The First 3 films in this set have two discs with lots of extras, interviews, trekkie stuff. The other six are single discs only, and honestly they are pretty light on anything "bonus". Like nil. The Films are old, and it shows. Just look at the trailers on STTMP, and you'll know what I mean. The effects really do look corny by today's standards, but the stories are solid and the acting is decent -- more or less throughout the whole series. I will skip the review of each film, and sum it up -- this is a solid buy for the first 9 movies, but additional special edition discs will be coming out soon. You might be better off picking and choosing. But I got this and started my DVD collection with a decent beginning.

Summary: Nice boxset of all 9 Star Trek DVD movies
Review: This is a very nice boxset of all 9 of the Star Trek movies currently on DVD. 12 DVD's contained in all, since the first 3 movies are double disc special editions. I really never loved the Star Trek TV shows that much (save a few of the old episodes), but i always liked most of the movies a lot. So, when i found this boxset at a really low discounted price i jumped on the chance of owning it. Star Trek IV is the least favorite movie contained in this set, but still it's nice to have. All of the DVD's in this set have excellent video and audio, very crisp and clean. The extras aren't many except on the first 3 special edition versions. Paramount aren't exactly known for their DVD extras though, just look at the Friday The 13th series they released on DVD.

Summary: Love this set
Review: This is exactly what I was waiting for all the star track 9 movies in one set at a good price. They look wonderful (even on my non digital TV). Personally I am not into the extras that are included on the first Movie (the directors cut), I just wanted the movies in pristine DVD condition and that's what I have received. If you into the frills like a second disk filled with advertisements, deleted seance etc., get the directors cuts, if you just want the movies in great condition (wonderful clean picture and wonderful sound) then this set is perfect for you.

Summary: Perfect for Trek fans
Review: This is the collection all Trekkies have been waiting for. For the rest of us (Sci-Fi fans in general), its a little pricey. Personally, I wouldn't spend nearly ... on a DVD collection that includes so-so movies like Star Trek I and V. It would be a lot better if Paramount realeased the good ones in a separate collection (II, IV, VI, First Contact, and Insurection).

Summary: Captains Log 6/11/03 Star Trek just got better
Review: This is the date i wrote my review and got this box set. It is so kool + 9 awesome flicks. I have watched 1,2,3,& 4 so far and let me tell you they are nothing like i imagined. I thought they would be like the star trek TV show. But there not they have the same characters and all but so much more. I would really buy this before it goes out of stock again.

Summary: Price? A Fan wants more!
Review: This set doesn't work out to much of a bargain. And with no special packaging (like the tapes had) or additional DVDs (like a "A Tribute to Star Trek" or "How We Made All These Movies: A Ken Burns Film" or something value-added) this collection seems a little more like a convenience item for someone who hasn't already purchased the DVD's than a must have for the collector. 5 Stars for the movies, 2 stars for the package.
