Star Trek - Original Motion Picture Collection 1-6 [Blu-ray] [2009]

This is a very nice set for both Star Trek fans and Sci Fi fans alike. It is loaded with lots of epic space battles with excellent villains and nefarious aliens; and the picture and sound quality are excellent. Each disk has a fair amount of extras as well including trailers and commentaries and interviews and deleted scenes. The bonus disk The Captain's Summit interviews with William Shatner, Patrick Stewart, Leonard Nimoy, Jonathan Frakes and Whoopi Goldberg was very entertaining as well Star Trek: The Motion Picture - A powerful gigantic and unknown destructive force named V'Ger is heading it's way towards the Earth and it is up to Captain James T. Kirk and the Enterprise crew to try and stop it. Amazing special effects. The return of the original veteran TV series cast reunites together on the big screen. A fabulous Jerry Goldsmith musical score. A 10 out of 10. Star Trek 2: The Wrath of Khan - Ricardo Montalban returns to reprise his role as Khan, a mad genetic super soldier who seeks revenge on Captain Kirk for stranding he and his crew on a desolate planet. An exciting action-packed space adventure with great special effects, and it features one of the most quoted movie lines ever, "KHAN!" A 10 out of 10 rating. Star Trek III: the Search For Spock - Where did Spock go, and who needs to find him, and why? Well, if you haven't seen Star Trek II then I do not want to spoil it for you, but this movie's got space battles with big bad Klingons and more than enough Star Trekking adventure to make for a pretty fun and entertaining threequel. I rate it a solid 9 out of 10. Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home - Honestly, this is not one of my more favorite movies in the series. Kirk and the crew travel back in time to the 1980's in order to save the whales. That's pretty much it. It has some good fish-out-of-water laughs here and there but it needed more space action scenes for my tastes. I've gotta give it credit for trying to do something different though. A 7 out of 10. Star Trek V: The Final Frontier - A lot of people seem to not like this entry in the series but I think it's a pretty fun movie and enjoyed it a lot. A Vulcan hijacks the Enterprise to go on a search for the Supreme Being! That's right. Lots of exciting action sequences and pretty nice special effects and great sets make for a good Sci Fi time at the movies. An 8.5 out of 10. Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country - In a mission to escort a Klingon Chancellor to a Peace Summit meeting between the Federation of Planets and the Klingon Empire, sabotage and deception are the order of the day as an attempt by nefarious interests to disrupt the historic event goes into action. This was the final film of the series featuring the original cast members and what a way to go. Features an engaging storyline, fantastic special effects, action sequences aplenty, this movie has it all for both Sci Fi and Star Trek fans alike. A 9.5 out of 10 rating. All in all this is a great collection for a great price. Scotty, beam this set up.

Just got started with this set. Decided to start in the middle, and will have to get to all of them soon. I'm perfectly fine with the fact that these are all supposed to be the theatrical versions. I like some of the little changes on the previous home releases of these movies, but it's kind of nice to see them make these available in their "original" form. I'm sure that if they didn't, some would surely complain, and it'd be kind of sad. Think about it - the real original Star Wars movies (4-6) are only available on a badly transferred, letterboxed-inside-4:3-Standard-def-DVD, as a bonus disc, on out of print DVDs (circa 2006, which, I do own). These Star Trek movies are high quality, high definition transfers of 6 classic movies, as they were, "warts and all," and I'm fine with that. Maybe someday, they'll put out a set with "directors cuts" etc, and sure, I do see the point some have made about "why couldn't they have just done seamless branching" - but - this is still really nice to have the best qualtiy copies of these movies, using as much of a disc as they can, even with a few extras on each one. Nice set. Well done. Not overdone. Nice simple menus, though I don't understand the promo for the 11th movie on these in the beginning. It's a box set. If anything, they should've put that on the bonus disc, as a bonus trailer or something. No reason for it to be on the main discs. Kind of cheesy. Kind of lame. It's not like most fans haven't heard of this, or wouldn't go see it. Then again, I suppose it doesn't really hurt anything. I do have an individual blu-ray of IV, so I'll have to see if it's also on that too. At least it's not taking up too much space. Transfer seems nice on III so far. I'm sure the others also look great. Pretty cool to have a good box set of all of these on blu-ray. Checked one extra on III before starting the movie, and it was really cool to see and hear the stories from some of the folks who worked on these movies. Digital effects are neat at times, sure, but these guys really made some great things happen with the tech they had to work with. Real models and effects are still great. No matter how great computer graphics get, and no matter how cool some of it really is, the capture of something really tactile and really reacting is ...well... more real... These folks also have another great point - they had a lot of fun doing a lot of this work, and I can really respect the work they did to bring us their efforts. All in all, this is a good set. If you already have a DVD set, it might not interest you that much. If you don't care about the theatrical versions, it might not matter to you. To me, it just seemed like a fair deal to finally get this collection, and as a long time fan, I am not in the least bit disappointed. I am quite happy to have this set, and to be able to enjoy these classic films once again.

Quel plaisir d'avoir pu redécouvrir les 6 long-métrages avec Shatner et Nimoy ! Le français est bien inclus parmi les mangues disponibles. (Français et même "français bénélux"... faudra que j'aille écouter la différence)

Received in a timely manner; good condition and just what I was looking for. Thanks
