Hosted by Leonard Nimoy and William Shatner, this documentary explores the 25th Anniversary of Star Trek in an exciting way. They discuss everything from the birth of the phenomenon to the closest incarnation, the beginnings of Deep Space Nine. The inclusion of the bloopers of the old series were a master stroke that give this video five great informative stars.

A quarter of a century of trekking to where no one has gone before Gene Roddenberry. What a vicarious thrill ride to distant planets and aliens cultures. This retrospective reawakens the wonder we all felt when we first discovered the Star Trek franchise, and shows so clearly why Star Trek has had such a long life, how creativity and
courage made it so prosperous!

I have been a HUGE Star Trek fan since 2002 and I decided that I had to have this. Star Trek: 25th Anniversary Special is incredible. This documentary is hosted by Shatner and Nimoy and they take us through the history of Trek. We also get to see TOS bloopers and the current space program and how progression has been in reality, hosted by LeVar Burton.

Another great thing that is shown is a few Trek parodies from other TV series; SNL, In Living Color and the Wonder Years. All of the skits are funny, my personal favorite was the Wonder Years Trek scene. The cast from both the Next Generation and the Original series are interviewed, a few behind-the-scenes people are interviewed as well. Some of the people interviewed

George Takei
Walter Koenig
Nichelle Nichols
Whoopi Goldberg
Patrick Stewart
DeForest Kelly
Rick Berman
and many more including Gene Roddenberry

A behind-the-scenes look at Star Trek IV and VI are shown. Many interesting facts are learned in this entire special. There is so much talked about and said in this special, it's a cannot miss for any Star Trek fan. I bought my copy from here at Amazon and it was in good condition and was totally worth buying, especially at such a low price. It is definitely worth a lot more that what it is being offered. Buy it, you will absolutely love it.

This VHS tape is Excellent!! A TV Special to commemerate the 30th Anniversary of Star Trek. Hosted by William Shatner and Leonard Nemoy. It traces the series from the early days progressing to the Next Generation (Which was airing at the time the special was made) Great behind the scenes action and stories, interviews with the creator Gene Roddenberry and Bloopers!! If you are a Star Trek fan this is a collectors dream. The only negatives are; It does not come in a DVD format and Since it was a promotional VHS tape an annoying message pops up on the bottom of the screen every ten minutes or so telling you it is for promotion only. Still a great addition to anyones collection.
