Great product March 8, 2010 Andrew P. Clifford (Avilla, IN USA) 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I may only be 19, but I've loved Star Trek ever since I was a little kid watching it with my father, and believe me its truly great being able to see these 6 great movies on blu ray, they look great, the only thing I wish was different is, they dont have the added scenes that the previous dvd release had, but other than that they are great
Only if you HAVE to have Blu-ray March 6, 2010 Glen A. Gill (Cincinnati, OH United States) I already have all of these on DVD. But, for myself, I was really looking forward to seeing Star Trek-The Motion Picture: The Director's Cut (STTMP-DC) in Blu-Ray. So, the set, from that standpoint, is a serious disappointment. Although, there are a few scenes that in Blu-Ray appear clearer and cleaner than I remember in the theater, this version compared to the STTMP-DC version still disappoints. Frankly, if I had known at the time that all of these were the theatrical versions, I probably would not have bought the set; regardless the price. Yes, the picture quality is better overall. But, frankly, my DVDs looked pretty great on my TV anyway.
When the original STTMP was released in the theaters, I was 22 and must have seen it more than 20 times; even when it was re-released in a double bill with Close Encounters...(those were the days). I've seen it so many times, I feel I should own stock in it.
The purist are always going to prefer the theatrical version; even though the trip through V'ger's energy field did slow things down quite a bit. But, that's OK. Apparently though, I am not a purist. I find the additional material inserted into this, and the other movies, were virtual revelations and only added to my understanding, enjoyment, and ultimately made the stories more coherent. In this set, all of that is gone.
The STTMP-DC is suppose to restore Robert Wise's (director of Sound of Music, Andromeda Strain, Day the Earth Stood Still, etc. ) true original vision; no longer being hampered by budgetary demands. While there are some scenes I believe should have been preserved, it is still an infinitely superior version; far better pacing and additional effects that allows us to take in what previously could only be hinted at.
Some have attacked STTMP and stated that this is the lesser of the six movies (did anybody see #5?). Less or not, this is as close as one get's to Roddenberry's true vision. I've actually heard the man in person at those speech/lectures that he would sometimes give around the country. Star Trek may have started out as "Gunsmoke" among the stars, but it apparently became much more for him later on. For him, Star Trek was about the "human adventure"; man's exploration of himself and the universe around him. The other 5 movies were much more "studio" formula projects. Good stories, but I imagine if Roddenberry was calling all of the shots (ie George Lucas), we would have never seen Star Treks #3 and #5. Think about it, part of the human condition is death, so Spock would have never been resurrected in #3 and according to Star Trek's "bible", Spock was an only child, so there goes the story-line for #5. Like it or not, if people want to know what Star Trek is suppose to be (being true to Roddenberry's vision), STTMP is it; not the other nine movies or the wreck that Abrams created (actually, I have been thinking of a storyline that would restore the original Star Trek's timeline and...bring back peace to our galaxy ;-) ).
If you have to have Blu-ray, go ahead. My suggestion, if you already have them, particularly in their Director's Cuts, don't waste your money. For those of you wanting the set for the "round table" disc, wait. Netflix will eventually have it so you can rent, or, maybe Amazon will have it in their "streaming" catalog.
Great seller March 2, 2010 jwrocks The Item was exactly what I wanted and came in a quick manor. I hope I might buy more stuff from the seller.
