Even if (when) more big-screen adventures come along, this Star Trek DVD Movies Collection will remain a fitting memento of this astonishingly long-running franchise. Containing all 10 movies from The Motion Picture (1979) to Nemesis (2003), this box set charts the voyages of the USS Enterprise(s) from the original ship's first major refit since its legendary five-year mission to the last outing for the Enterprise E in the next century. After this, there will be new ships and new crews. The most famous starship in the galaxy has finally retired.
Along the way, there have been many highs and just a few lows. The Motion Picture's Director's Edition solved many of the theatrical release's problems. Its follow-up, The Wrath of Khan, is still regarded as the series' finest hour. Movies III and IV chart Spock's fall and resurrection in quasi-religious terms, but also add welcome humour in The Voyage Home. Taken together II, III and IV make for a satisfyingly self-contained trilogy, which is one reason why the next entry, The Final Frontier, seemed like a disappointment. Khan director Nicholas Meyer returned for the superior VI, The Undiscovered Country, allowing the original crew to sign-off in style. Attempting to please fans old and new, the messy Generations ended up pleasing almost no one. Thankfully, the second Next Generation film, First Contact, comes in a close second to Khan in the series-best stakes. Neither Insurrection or Nemesis could quite match what had gone before, but both were solidly entertaining adventures nonetheless.
On the DVDs: The Star Trek DVD Movies Collection is a 10-disc set complete with booklet and postcard-size Nemesis film stills. However, only the first four movies are presented in their Special Edition versions--these have the same content as the feature discs of the separately released two-disc sets--and the Nemesis disc also contains a commentary, documentaries and deleted scenes. Movies V-IX are bare-bones releases, though, with no extra content to speak of. Fans will therefore not find this box set to be a substitute for the individual Special Edition versions. --Mark Walker

Fantastic box set - missing a few things.,
This review is from: Star Trek Movies 1 - 10 [Box Set] [DVD] (DVD)
Overall, this is a fantastic box set - the movies are presented here in a wonderful case with the original cover designs inside.The movies are overall what you would expect from the Star Trek films. There are the "great" films (even numbers + 3) and the slightly sub-par but still watchable "good" films (rest of the odd numbers). Picture quality is generally great throughout (although why 4 is showing its age badly I have no idea). There is just one slight problem I had - the lack of extras. The first 4 films are the straight from the "Directors cut" DVD's (retaining their insightful commentarys) - but their "second discs" are curiously missing. If you are that desperate for the behind the scenes aspects of these films, then you might wish to consider buying them seperately. (9 and 10 have a small amount of 'extras') It remains good value for money - and a very worthwhile buy for Star Trek fans.

great boxset,

This review is from: Star Trek Movies 1 - 10 [Box Set] [DVD] (DVD)
As someone who owns all the Star Trek boxsets that have been released so far, this box set is a good one. All the movies in neat packaging (my star trek collection is taking over so this is useful!). The only thing against it is there are no extras on the DVDs which you can get if you buy the films separately - but the original cast movies have extra scenes as they are directors cuts, so that is groovy. Its much cheaper to get the set like this, so if you're a trekkie, I'd go for this.

A Genuine Masterpiece,
By R Powell "rlp402" (Southampton, Hampshire United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Star Trek Movies 1 - 10 [Box Set] [DVD] (DVD)
This collection is worth every penny. The sounds and visuals are all fantastic with excellent renovations of Star Trek's I-V. Many of the DVD's contain audio commentaries brought to you by Directors and Actors etc. Star Trek 4 is blessed with excellent audio commentary by William Shatner (Kirk) and Leonard Nimoy (Spock/Director) giving you an amusing incite into the difficulties of filming in the centre of LA. Behind the scenes featuretes are available on both Insurrection and of course Nemesis. All 10 DVD's are neatly folded away into what i consider to be a well crafted case. To my surprise you also get an individual batch number on the side. I wanted a collection that really showed off what Star Trek is all about and i got more than i asked!!
