    Devoted Star Trek fans will surely cite the "even number" rule in evaluating the Original Crew Movie Collection, but all six of these films qualify as rousing entertainment. Undeniably, the even-numbered films in Paramount's lucrative Trek franchise tended to be the best, as demonstrated by the superiority of The Wrath of Khan, The Voyage Home, and The Undiscovered Country. And yet each film has something to offer die-hard Trekkers, beginning with the epic-scale wonders of the first Motion Picture (presented here as a two-disc special edition). Evolving from Gene Roddenberry's aborted attempt at a second Star Trek TV series, the effects-laden Motion Picture divided fans while proving that Star Trek had a promising big-screen future. Nicholas Meyer's The Wrath of Khan made good on that promise, reviving the Star Trek spirit and proving, in the case of Mr. Spock, that beloved characters "never really die." It's widely regarded as the best of these half-dozen features.

    With its deadly Klingon confrontation, the Leonard Nimoy-directed Search for Spock was a thrilling (albeit contrived) excuse for Spock's inevitable resurrection, and its somber tone was readily countered by the Earth-based humor of Nimoy's The Voyage Home, combining a planetary crisis with a lively--and phenomenally popular--time-travel plot line. Unfortunately, William Shatner then lobbied for the director's chair, and The Final Frontier--an uneasy mixture of cheesy humor and grandiose themes--was the regrettable outcome. Paramount rallied by inviting Nicholas Meyer to repeat his Khan success, and Meyer rose to the occasion with the sharply scripted thrills of The Undiscovered Country. By ending the film with an official signature send-off from the "classic Trek" cast, the original crew brought their big-screen legacy to a graceful and upbeat conclusion, setting the stage for a transitional adventure in Star Trek: Generations. --Jeff Shannon

    "NOW I CAN GO WHERE NO MAN HAS GONE BEFORE"!!!  (Rating: 5 out of 5)

    I COULDN'T WAIT TO GET MY STAR TREK: MOVIE COLLECTION. AND GETTING IT THROUGH AMAZON WAS THE BEST WAY FOR ME TO CHOOSE. I DIDN'T HAVE TO LEAVE MY HOME, JUST GO TO AMAZON.COM , FIND WHAT I AM LOOKING FOR AND ORDER IT. IN A FEW DAYS IT ARRIVED AT MY FRONT DOOR AND NOW, I TOO, CAN TRAVEL THROUGH SPACE. THE COLLECTION IS IN EXCELLENT SHAPE, ALL THE BOXES WITH THE MOVIES IN WERE IN PERFECT ORDER, NO RIPS OR TEARS, AND THE MOVIES PLAYED JUST FINE. AND THE BEST THING ABOUT THIS WAS, I GOT A GREAT PRODUCT, FOR A FANTASTIC PRICE, WITH LITTLE TO NO PRESSURE WHAT'S SO EVER.

    Great for Trekkie Freaks  (Rating: 5 out of 5)

    If you are a Trekkie who hasn't started his/her collection yet, this is a great buy. It has all of the Star Trek original cast movies in one box. You can't go wrong with this set.

    Original Crew the Best  (Rating: 5 out of 5)

    Being a fan of the original Star Trek TV series, I found this set very enjoyable.

    A Quick Comment On Each Film  (Rating: 5 out of 5)

    Here are a few quick notes on each movie in this collection to let you know what to expect, as well as a ranking on a five-star scale:

    Star Trek: The Motion Picture: An interesting plot, but takes itself too seriously to be a fun film. (***)

    Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan: Very emotional drama, character development, and intense action make this a solid film in step with the original Star Trek "cannon". (*****)

    Star Trek III: The Search for Spock: What the film lacks in overall plot it makes up for in emotional tension. (****)

    Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home: A comedic genius; light-hearted all around and full of laughs. (*****)

    Star Trek V: The Final Frontier: The "search for God" plot proves to be unfruitful, while the main villain does not create credible tension. (**)

    Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country: A sort of futuristic re-telling of the United States/Russia relationship that hits all the right buttons to create high drama. (*****)

    Excellent   (Rating: 5 out of 5)

    I purchased this set for my husband for his recent birthday. He is probably the biggest fan ever. He was thrilled to receive it and my son and he enjoyed watching the movies and spending some quality time together.
