Blu-Ray Steel Book Review
5 out of 5 stars
Blu-Ray Steel Book Review
Star Trek Original Series is what I grew up on. This is for fans old enough to know the original crew and hopefully young viewers give it a chance. About this Blu-ray set: This is a Steel book. I’m not a big fan of steel books but I admit it’s a beautiful looking package. I’m not so happy with the way the discs are stored. 4 discs on each side stacked directly on top of each other, but honestly in a steel book, I don’t see how it could have been done better. If it had been in a plastic case, each disc could have its own spindle and then you risk discs falling off due to how thin it all must be. About this presentation: Star Trek, the original series, is presented in it's original 4:3 aspect ratio with new enhanced special effects interlaced within the show replacing the old, outdated effects. The old effects show their age to the point that you wish they could look better. The new effects are respectful of the old effects and look very much like the old effects, but just so much better. The Gorn looks the same, but he can now blink. In “The Ultimate Computer” the power blast scene is greatly enhanced is very impressive looking, the ships are all recreated in CG which look fine even by today’s standards. The old “ship” effects suffered from poor matting & often had parts of the ship that disappeared, and they just don’t hold up at all. The best part is Paramount had the wisdom to give you BOTH old and new versions in a seamless branching design so you can switch back and forth between them for comparison if desired. I’m including some screenshots to show comparisons for readers. See if you can tell which is old and which is new. Trivia: Did you know, Chekov & Sulu did not appear in the same episode until the end of season 2. Chekov was not introduced until season 2. Overall this is a highly recommended package and worth the price of admission.

    I have been wanting the original series for ever. Never bought them though. Amazon had these for the right price and I snagged 'em. The quality is unbelievable! I don't know how they make these old shows look so good but I am flabbergasted. There are both version of each episode too. You can watch each episode as it was made or you can watch them remastered with CGI graphics in them. I am very impressed. I wish the packaging was just a little better because there are like 3 disks on each side so you have to pull two out to get to the one on the bottom but it is what it is. The menus have a navigation on them so there is a fair amount of clicking to advance to the next episode. I think there are 5 episodes to each disk. There didn't seem to be a way to just hit play and let them all just play through. Other than that I am very happy and impressed with how well these are done. I love the old Star Trek. I recommend these.

    Paramount Studios once again releases the original "Star Trek" TV series on Blu-ray that ran from 1966-1969, three seasons on the NBC network before becoming a far bigger hit in syndication. Created by Gene Roddenberry and starring Wlliam Shatner (Captain Kirk) Leonard Nimoy (First Officer Mr. Spock) Deforest Kelley (Chief Medical Officer Leonard "Bones" McCoy) James Doohan (Chief Engineer Montgomery Scott [Scotty]) all serving aboard the starship Enterprise in the 23rd century. There would be other recurring characters such as Uhura (Nichele Nichols) Sulu (George Takei) Chekov (Walter Koeing) Janice Rand (Grace Lee Whitney) and nurse Chapel (Majel Barret).

    Released many times before on home media, both VHS, DVD, and Blu-ray, now all 80 episodes are in steel books, separated by three seasons in a sturdy box containing 20 discs in all. There are numerous extras spread about with interviews and featurettes with cast and crew, though only one episode ('The Trouble With Tribbles') has an actual audio commentary, here provided with author David Gerrold. The original pilot episode "The Cage' is on the last disc of season three, never aired but still definitely canon and starred Jeffrey Hunter as Captain Pike, a character who would be revisited in 'The Menagerie'.

    A classic science fiction series that would later generate an ever-growing franchise covering various generations and timelines, this is still the best version for many, myself included! The other main selling point here is that all episodes now have new CGI effects that are simply stunning and can be alternated with the original effects. The HD remasters are breathtaking and the series has never looked better, getting a polish and clarity that gives a whole new life to the series that can now be preserved and enjoyed for centuries to come.

    As others have reported it is hard to know which episode you'll be watching next.

    But I don't care. It's Star Trek. It is all the episodes, AND you have the option of the original "coloration" or enhanced. We watch enhanced. It's beautiful.

    The disks are strong/study/well-made. Each set of disks are in a strong, sturdy "disk-book".

    Very happy we chose this product.

    To get the entire original startrek series in steelbook bluray with awesome graphics is amazing. A perfect addition to my collection. Digital media isn't going to be around much longer with streaming taking over. It's better own in my opinion if you have the space. Grab this collection now that you have a chance. It will definitely be long gone in a few years and
    costing a lot more trying to get your hands on one. It contains the originals and the special effects updates that make the series all the better for watching.

    This is a review for the Steelbook Blu-ray Complete Original Star Trek Series 1966-1969. Episodes on each disc are listed below.

    The Steelbook version was not much more than the std Blu-ray set when I ordered, so I chose it for 2 reasons: The white discs are easier to read, and the books look better IMO.

    The outer box graphics are ok, and the 3 books look nice, but they’re really “tinbooks” – thin metal. The inner spindles Hold up to 4 discs on each side. They do the job if careful, but I doubt they’ll stand up to any abuse. If you have kids or are meat fingered, I recommend buying cases that have easier access. Amazon’s poor packing destroyed one set. Next set arrived undamaged. I see a lot of reviews about disc media damaged in shipping. For protection, Amazon should bubblewrap any disc set by default.

    This set has 82 Shows on 20 Discs in 3 Steelbooks. There are 3 Pilots and 79 episodes. Episodes are in broadcast order, not production order. The 3 Pilots are 2 versions of the 1st pilot “The Cage” and a full version of the 2nd Pilot “Where No Man Has Gone Before”. “The Cage” was edited and aired in 2 parts as “The Menagerie 1&2” in episodes 11&12. The 2nd Pilot “Where No Man Has Gone Before” introduced many iconic characters and sold NBC on the show. It was edited and broadcast as episode 3 using the same name. In 1986, the complete “Where No Man Has Gone Before” pilot aired with added segments featuring Gene Roddenberry. That is the version is in this set.

    1080p Blu-ray quality is as excellent overall and worth the purchase or upgrade over 480p DVD. A 4K version would be pointless overkill IMO. The original films were painstakingly restored before transfer, but only so much can be fixed. Some insignificant irreparable defects are present, and occasional scenes are subpar, but that isn’t surprising due to the era these were produced. You really can’t expect better transfer from abused antique celluloid. Viewers of Trek reruns in the 70’s will appreciate how really amazing they look. The additional features are mostly if not entirely in SD. Despite that, they’re interesting, sometimes funny and enjoyable to watch. Most were carried over from the 2004 DVD version, and a few added in 2009 for blu-ray release. I don’t think there is additional content newer than that.

    Episodes can be watched with original or enhanced effects. I think that is why there isn’t a play all or auto play function which some reviews complain of. That’s a minor inconvenience at worst. Supposedly there’s an option to toggle between effects while watching an episode, but I haven’t tried it. Unfortunately, if watching with original effects, an annoying camera icon pops up when enhanced effects are available for a scene. There doesn’t seem to be an option to disable it. That is the worst thing about this set and worth a star downgrade. If anyone has figured out how to disable the “cam icon” popup, please comment.

    Audio options are 7.1 DTS Master HD, or 2 channel Mono. Some reviews mention audio level issues, but I think it depends on equipment capability. If you have audio issues, try the Mono option. YRMV, but most newer TVs or sound systems should have enough adjustment for a suitable listening level with either option. I always choose DTS because even if playing through 2 channels, most TVs/systems will convert it to stereo, which is better than mono.
