THE BARE-BONES DVD COLLECTION, October 23, 2001
This review is from: Star Trek - The Motion Pictures DVD Collection (DVD)
I'm a big Star trek fan and a big DVD collector, but I own no Star Trek movie DVDs. Why? Because up until November 6th's release of The Motion Picture, the ST movie DVDs have had NO extras except for a trailer! Besides being overpriced for such bare bones editions, I found it insulting that Paramount would release such obviously collectible movies as anything less than Special Collector Editions jam-packed with extras... and had a feeling that they would start doing that AFTER they were finished releasing the bare bones editions, to make fans eat it twice - and lo and behold, Paramount has announced plans to revisit the movies as Special Editions... So its incredible that even then they're releasing this boxed set. WHY buy it? Wait until they release the Special Editions!

Great idea!!...but no savings!!!!, November 3, 2001
This review is from: Star Trek - The Motion Pictures DVD Collection (DVD)
Ever since I bought a DVD player, this has been the day I have been waiting for!!! The day when Star Trek comes out with a collection set of all their DVD's.
As I feared, the colleciton comes with all the what I call "naked" DVD's in it.
What a waste!!! Paramount had the perfect opportunity to hit us with a collection of DVD's that were packed with extra features from all the films!!! You will not convince me otherwise that Paramount is doing this just to make money and turn around and sell the better version of these DVD's later!!! If that is the case Paramount, then shame on you!!!!
You have enough money, so give the people what they deserve!!!!! A collection with deleted scenes, commmentary, still photos(there are millions of those!!!).
This is basically pathetic!! Don't waste your money so Paramount will come out with a product worthy of Star Trek fans!!!

I'm with the other guys..., November 22, 2001
This review is from: Star Trek - The Motion Pictures DVD Collection (DVD)
Greetings, all. I was gonna warn you to not get this set 'cause Paramount will soon be releasing all of these in Special Edition format. Slowly. One by one. Probably on a monthly-to-bi-monthly basis, so they can all revel in the glee of the DVD-collectin' Trekkies' frustration whilst rakin' in the bucks from the sorry people who bought the regular-edition flicks. Like I did, unfortunately. However, it looks like a couple folks have beaten me to it in the kvetching department. So, just ignore my review, and take a look at what my other fellow Amazonians are saying about this sad collection. As you can see, we're pretty much on the same page regarding this situation. Thank you for your attention. 'Late!
