5.0 out of 5 stars The perfect box set for any Trekkie..., June 22, 2004

I was thrilled when I found this box set containing the first six "Star Trek" films in their two-disc collector's editions. I had to get it. Let's take a look shall we?

"Star Trek: The Motion Picture" Rating: 3.5/5
This is the long-awaited director's cut which actually subtracts about 12 minutes and adds a few necessary special effects. The film isn't as boring as it used to be and the focus is now more on the story than the special effects. The second disc is pretty good as well with three interesting documentaries and a load of deleted scenes.

"Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan" Rating: 5/5
This timeless sci-fi classic is now in beautiful widescreen with all the action and intensity in tact. This is even the director's cut with three more minutes of footage, though granted you don't even notice the added scenes. Overall it's a great movie and the features on the second disc are very worth the money.

"Star Trek III: The Search for Spock" Rating: 4/5
This third film adventure for the original crew of the USS Enterprise is an exciting and action-packed ride that almost equals it's predecessor. A very enjoyable film with great special features.

"Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home" Rating: 4.5/5
This is the black sheep of the bunch in the sense that it's mostly a comedy, but it's well-done and an enjoyable adventure worth seeing.

"Star Trek V: The Final Frontier" Rating: 2.5/5
This is probably the worst of the movies, period. It tries to blend the action and adventure of films two and three with the comedy of film four and fails on an epic scale, not to mention shoddy special effects at the end.

"Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country" Rating: 5/5
Nicholas Meyer returns to direct this final voyage and it's excellent. This wraps up the story with the Klingons and sets the stage for "The Next Generation," which had been on the air for a few years by the time this film came out.

Overall, it's a fantastic box set for any Trekkie or sci-fi movie buff. Each movie has a running audio as well as text commentary as well as documentaries on the makings of each film, trailers, and interviews. It's well worth it!

5.0 out of 5 stars Read description carefully!, May 14, 2005

Although many have good points in their reviews of this disc set (good and bad), this is the newest box set release. I guess this is a perfect example of the saying "You can't please them all."

If you look at the title it says "Star Trek - The Original Crew Movie Collection (Special Edition)". "Special Edition" being the operative words. And if you enlarge the picture you can read that the first two are directors cuts and the remaining ones are special edition.

In saying this, I believe this is the box set to buy (unless you want them all to be director cuts). I give it 5 stars because I love Star Trek. It's true that some of the movies are better than others but the same could be said for the series. But I didn't stop watching just because a few of the episodes weren't up to par with the others.

It's Star Trek and that is the only thing that matters for us trekkies.

5.0 out of 5 stars Get the 2004 Edition!!!, January 31, 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: Star Trek - The Original Crew Movie Collection (Special Edition) (DVD)

I liked the original box series very much. All of the extra special features discs contained enough production and interview sequences on each of the six films. Some of it was filler like "is time travel possible" or "terra forming" where a lot of experts get very far off the subject of Star Trek. Paramount did an honest job of remastering each film to DVD, they are clear, sharp and crisp. It would have been nice to see more of the deleted scenes from Star Trek V so many could see why Bill Shatner pooped on Paramount for butchering the film into under 2 hours. But you honestly can't complain. It's a great set. Get it while Amazon still has it cheaper than eBay and everywhere else.
