Summary: Which set is this?
Review: Beware when purchasing this set. There have been many Star Trek Original Crew Movie sets produced in the past several years. Some of them contain director's cuts and special editions for some of the movies. The latest set contains director's cuts or special editions for all of the movies - 12 discs in all.(...). The description says the set includes 6 discs, which implies that it does NOT contain the director's cuts and special editions for any of the movies, yet it also states that it was released in 2004. This would imply that it is the latest set and does contain the special editions. Then again it might be the set that was produced a couple of years ago, which contains the 2-disc director's cut for the fist film and 2-disc special editions for films 2, 3 and 4, but the regualar one-disc editions for 5 and 6. Who knows? Since there is no picture posted for this set(...).

Summary: Buy the Star Trek Movie series Box set!
Review: Buy this wonderful classic Star Trek movie box set! It contains some of the best classic Star Trek movies ever made on VHS! The Box contains Star Trek: the Motion Picture (1979), Star Trek II:the Wrath of Kahn (1982),Star Trek III:the Search for Spock (1984), Star Trek IV: the Voyage Home (1986), Star Trek V: the Final Frontier (1989), and Star Trek VI: the Undiscovered Country (19991)! All these wonderful Star Trek films are collected in wonderful box set. Star Trek II and VI were Directed by Nicolas Meyer and are considered the best of the series! Star Trek III and VI were directed by Leornard Nimoy (Captain Spock)and are also highly recommended. Buy it! It's a great Sci-Fi movie series!

Summary: I'm with the other guys...
Review: 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' Trekkie's 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 most of 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!

Summary: Hold out for the Extras
Review: I am a huge Star Trek fan. So far I have bought four of the DVDs: The Next Generation triology and ST:IV. I was very disappointed in the lack of extras. Star Trek: Generations did not even contain a movie trailer. (ST:IV contained some decent extras.) Most serious Trek fans would love commentary from the directors and/or actors. It is well known that there has been footage that was not included in the theatrical releases of almost every Trek film. Most notably, ST:II, where missing footage was shown when it was originally broadcast on TV. This footage made a GREAT movie even BETTER. None of this was included in the DVD. It is rumored that Paramount will be releasing Special Editions of the Trek films, including a 2-disc set for ST:II. Don't pay Paramount twice. The Trek films are all on TV so often, that you can tape a rough copy while you wait for Paramount to give us the extras we want and deserve. (The reason I gave the set 2 stars is because they are decent movies.)

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Don't Spend All That Hard Earned Money, Right Now!
Review: I completely agree with Mr. Harris. The wonder of DVDs are the special features of our favorite, classic films (take a look at Lawrence of Arabia, Superman: The Movie, and the upcoming DVD release of the Godfather Trilogy...spectacular extras which makes it worth spending the money on the DVD, even if you already have the VHS version). I was extremely disappointed when I heard that the Star Trek films had no special features. The Star Trek franchise has earned Paramount a fortune! The least they could have done to repay the loyal fans was to release the DVD versions with special features. I feel that it is a money-making scam. People were sure to buy the films once they were released onto DVD, special features or not. THEN they release a Director's Edition of The Motion Picture, so that the fans will have to buy the movie AGAIN to get the extras. And NOW there's this boxed set! Folks, don't waste your money! Only ONE of the films in the boxed set has the extras...The Motion Picture. The rest of the films in the set have no special features. And, yes, Paramount has been dropping hints that they will be releasing special editions of all of the Star Trek films...one by one, of course. So why waste your money on the boxed set? I plan on buying the Director's Edition of The Motion Picture when it is released. Then I will buy the special editions of the other films as they are released. I knew that there would be special editions of the films sooner or later...common sense could tell you that...which was why I decided to wait and see. Glad I did! Don't give Paramount more money than you have to! You've given them enough! I can't give this boxed set a decent rating. I'd give it 5 stars if there were a boxed set which featured a Director's Edition of ALL of the films. Watch, they'll release special editions of all of the films individually, THEN they'll have a boxed set of it! It's unfortunate that businesses are so greedy and want to make a quick buck. They need to think more about the CONSUMER...it's because of US that they make that money in the first place. They should at least be a bit more appreciative of that fact. Can't wait to buy the Director's Edition of The Motion Picture. This will truly be a grand experience for fans of the original Star Trek series.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Get the 2004 Edition!!!
Review: 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.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The perfect box set for any Trekkie...
Review: 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!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Star Trek is just plain FABULOUS!
Review: If you ask me, Star Trek is simply one of the greatest creations in movie making history. It has been a cultural phenomenon ever since it premiered on TV in the early 60's and it won't stop any time soon. So any true Star Trek fan must have this boxed set. From battling Khan in "The Wrath of Khan" to Captain Kirk being accused of murder in "The Undiscovered Country", this movie collection has it all, including a beautifully designed box! If you don't own this collection, get it, and get it fast!
