Star Trek movies in HD. Enough said. August 22, 2010 TonyCoach (New Jersey, USA) Bonus Disc, Captain's Summit: Hilarious! Shatner, Nimoy, Stewart and Frakes with Whoopi Goldberg as moderator, exchange opinions, experiences and anecdotes. Worth the price of the set! Sort of.
Mini-Movie criticisms. ST 1: Once you're over the initial "wow, together again" excitement, it suffered from a desire to whip Star Wars at it's own game (and failed mainly from bad pacing), and borrowed too much from the Original Series theme "machine in search for its Creator". ST 2: Best of the bunch, but why couldn't they beam the Genesis device into the Transporter and hold it's pattern? ST 3: Very UNDERRATED! Kirk deals with so much loss here. FINALLY, it took 3 movies, but we see Kirk fighting in hand-to-hand combat! McCoy's "link" to Spock, was a brilliant and poignant touch. Plus Sarek! A focused tribute to the characters, rather than another alien encounter. ST 4. Save the whales? Yes, with a humorous knock on the 20th century. At least this time they filmed in the real outdoors (San Francisco). Then again, the basic premise of an alien probe, associated with Earth's past, and threatening the Earth, rescued by the Enterprise crew, was done in the first movie. ST 5. The weakest, and full of hokum, but not a total wash out. Best scene was the "share your pain" of Spock and McCoy. At least this film *attempted* at Star Trek's original theme "to boldly go where no man/one has gone before". ST 6: A decent final film. Cold War Ending parable, complete with Chernobyl. Plus two great actors: Christopher Plummer and David Warner! No seeking out new life, but politics centered on a Federation conference. It's also a back story to a Next Generation storyline when the film was initially released.
Bad Blue Ray implementation August 17, 2010 Fitness Pro (Orlando, FL United States) 1 out of 2 found this review helpful
I bought this Blue Ray set in great anticipation of the higher definition. The Blue Ray concept is a nice improvement over standard DVD. However, Blue Ray is implemented differently than standard DVD in many ways and differently on each Blue Ray disc. For example, DVD function is left more to the Java Software on the disc rather than the player itself. This allows the manufacturer to maintain greater control over player function.
Now for the problem here. The discs in this set do not implement certain standard disc/player functions like stop and remember position. In other words, if you stop any of these discs and restart, you will be returned to the beginning of the disc, which entails going through the FBI warnings and previews again. You will then need to use the scene function to find your previous position to continue watching the movie where you left off.
If you pause the disc, it will continue where you left off unless the player auto shuts off in 30 minutes and then it is considered a stop function, which requires complete restart of the discs again.
This is not true of all Blue Rays. The Terminator Sarah Conner Chronicles, for example, works correctly, but not this Star Trek Set. It can be very annoying and detract from the movie experience. Personally, I plan to resell this set and return to my standard DVD collection. The difference in resolution just isn't worth the frustration caused by bad software design. Incidentally, Blue ray uses Java; the now defunct HD used a Microsoft software system.
missing the extended cut August 9, 2010 Spencer M. Sinclare (Victoria, British Columbia Canada) 1 out of 2 found this review helpful
I love the all of the star trek movies and am generally a huge fan of the entire saga. However, one thing that I am really disappointed in is that when star trek the motion picture(the first of the original cast films) was on VHS, it was the special longer version aka the extended cut. I have never heard of the extended cut or longer version of this film being available on dvd or blu ray yet. In the double disc directors edition of the movie: all of the extra footage that was in the extended cut has been removed from the film and is found in the deleted scenes. The same thing was done with another movie I loved called "the lawnmowerman" - extended cut on VHS and theatrical cut only on dvd. Has anybody else noticed this and finds it annoying? In my opinion, it is a sad state of affairs to release a lesser version of any film on dvd or blu ray when there has already been a superior version of the movie on VHS. So I am giving this set 4 out of 5 stars because of how awesome star trek truly is. Live long and Prosper.
Picture & Audio Quality are Fantastic! August 7, 2010 NT 1 out of 2 found this review helpful
My only issue with these films is that they are the original Theatrical versions. That's fine but they already released them on regular DVD. Why on earth would Paramount not release the Special Edition or Directors Cut versions on Blu-Ray and take advantage of the extra space these discs have?
Anyway, overall I am very happy with the films picture and audio quality.
amazon has their act together July 22, 2010 Ellen F. Jahns 0 out of 3 found this review helpful
First let me say if you loved Star Trek the tv show as i did as a kid, this set is a must have. In order to make sense of the newest movie your children need to see where it all started. Then they will understand why you rave about the newest actors and just how close they are to their portrayal of the tv series stars. The packaged set is the way to go by far.
Second I have to give Amazon 5 stars for their much improved customer service. I bought the blueray set by mistake. In a matter of seconds I had shipping labels for the return. The credit was issued immediately. The blueray set was returned and I reordered the correct format. The set was at my home in just a few days and I was back to searching the galaxy in no time.
I have been an amazon customer for quite awhile. In the beginning it was not so easy to return, get credit back, heck even to reach a real person for help. I am happy to say this company has my loyalty once again. They have seen the future in gaining good customer service by simply answering the call and doing what they can to insure the customer is satisfied.
I'm off to that star out there to the right...
sincerely,
ej
