Star Trek: The Original Series: The Complete Series

Four things make this collection a must-have for any real fan of the original series. Personally, I rarely ever saw an episode without ads, and most of the time those ads were long and drawn out, ruining the continuity. This collection is a breath of fresh air as it simply flows from one scene to another with the short blackout period in between. No 8 minute commercials making you forget what episode it even is ! In addition since the episodes are in their entirety, and not edited for commercials, the flow of a significant number of them is greatly improved giving more believability to the storyline. When it comes to improved quality, its no doubt that the visual clarity and sound are at their best. 1080 on bluray looks good on a 75 inch all day, while the sound clarity is spot on. In my opinion the improved quality of the special effects and overall picture help to bring a series that originally looked about as realistic as the Batman series from that period up to the quality of a technicolor full length motion from around the same time. Kids growing up right now could appreciate the stories in a show thats 60 years old, and be able to enjoy the picture quality and special effects because theyve been brought up to date. Are the special effects and overall picture quality perfect? No. But they're good enough to improve the overall presentation of this series and bring it into the 21st century. Five Stars.

THIS IS REALLY A GREAT SET. THE PICTURE HAS BEEN DIGITALLY CORRECTED/ENHANCED SO THE "FLAWS" HAVE BEEN REMOVED AND COLORS SEEM MORE VIVID. GREAT TO SEE THE SHOWS I GREW UP ON AGAIN. THIS SET INCLUDES THE VERY FIRST EPISODE WITH JEFFREY HUNTER AS CAPTAIN PIKE. THERE IS ALSO HOURS OF SPECIAL FEATURES.

A great Blu ray set. Very enjoyable.

ALL THINGS STAR TREK.......You can't go wrong!!! The original series on DVD AND UPDATED BLU-RAY! I'm in 7th heaven! The only drawback.....ALL of the disks are in ONE BOX sitting on top of each other...so Be Careful when accessing the disks to prevent scratches!!!! As Dr. McCoy once said..."I choose the danger!"

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.

Great series and all the stories are interesting, the colors very vibrant, great characters and quality production. Hard to believe some of the actors had some animosity swords each other!

The quality of the vids are great, but the packaging is awful. It has the disks arranged in " pages" which you flip through with like 2 disks on each spindle ( easy to damage or scratch). I am putting these disks in a 5 X 7 photo album ( from Amazon) that has a white cloth like backing on each sleeve (48 sleeves) in disk numerical order, and scanning and printing the insert to mount on the photo case. It is highly unlikely i will scratch or break a disk trying to remove it from the spindle. I have a few more multi disk DVD sets that i will likely do the same with.

Just to avoid confusion the Star Trek original series blu ray box set pictured in the blue box plays in the UK. I have just tested it in a UK version Playstation 5 and it looks super nice. It contains both the as aired special effects and the updated special effects version. I did read that the recent updated special effects versions had deleted dialogue ( possibly updated political correctness?) so you may want to play the original blu ray versions, or toggle between the two. So this should play in certainly Region B ( UK Europe) and maybe other regions

Sin dudarlo es una gran compra para cualquier seguidor de Viaje a las Estrellas. Las tres temporadas de la serie original con tod#os los capítulos en Blu-ray. Tenemos la opción de elegir entre ver el episodio en su formato original o remasterizado. Si han tenido la oportunidad de ver la serie en Netflix estamos hablando de esa remasterización.

First time buying from Amazon Japan. It arrived sooner than I expected!

Excellent remade CGI effects - takes the original series to new heights!
