Spanning two decades and countless light years of interstellar adventure, Star Trek: The Motion Pictures Collection is a testament to the enduring goodwill of Gene Roddenberry's optimistic sci-fi concept. Long before Star Wars sparked an explosion of big-screen science fiction, Roddenberry had planned a second Star Trek TV series; the project fizzled, but its pilot script evolved into the first film in Paramount's most lucrative movie franchise. Despite its sluggish pace and bland 'pajama' costuming, Star Trek: The Motion Picture (1979) offered a welcomed reunion of the 'Classic Trek' cast, packed with Douglas Trumbull's still-dazzling special effects. Trekkers were even more ecstatic when The Wrath of Khan (1982) revived the spirit of the original series, even though director Nicholas Meyer was a Trek neophyte. With Leonard Nimoy directing, The Search for Spock (1984) began where Khan left off, with a thrilling (albeit contrived) obligation to resurrect the formerly ill-fated Mr. Spock.
A box-office smash, Nimoy's The Voyage Home (1986) is the franchise's most accessible adventure--a high point offset by William Shatner's comparatively dreadful Star Trek V: The Final Frontier (1989). Meyer (and his penchant for quoting Shakespeare) returned for The Undiscovered Country (1991), a conspiracy thriller that put the series back on track, inspiring fans to invoke the 'even number' rule in rating their franchise favorites. Generations (1994) gracefully passed the torch to TV's The Next Generation, bidding farewell to Captain Kirk with honor and integrity intact. Highlighted by the evolving humanity of Brent Spiner's android Lt. Cmdr. Data, First Contact (1996) explored Star Trek history with a logical (hint) surprise encounter, and Insurrection (1998) provided an adequate expansion of the successful NextGen series. Taken as a whole, these ten films demonstrate the consistent vitality of Roddenberry's original vision, stoking any Trekker's appetite for 'ongoing missions' in Nemesis and beyond. --Jeff Shannon Most of the feature films were released early in the DVD era, but are represented here in their vastly improved two-disc special editions, which boast widescreen anamorphic pictures, director's cuts of the first two films, numerous commentary tracks by cast and crew, humorous and informative trivia subtitle tracks by Michael and Denise Okuda, and a wide variety of new and vintage documentaries and galleries.

Rating: - Star Trek is the Bomb
I not a Trekkie nerd but the movies and the T.V. series makes for great viewing!
Rating: - Fantastic set
Great set of DVD's. Well worth it at the price. I've had a lot of fun rewatching these movies, and the bonus features are fantastic.
My one gripe is that on just a couple of the DVD's, some of the bonus features are very scattered; some of it doesn't really apply to the movie. I noticed it the most in Generations.
Fantastic set, none the less. Full stars.
Rating: - A Quick Comment On Each Film
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. (*****)
Star Trek Generations: Filled with iconic moments, but underachieves in the execution of nearly all of them. (***)
Star Trek: First Contact: An action-packed adventure film that exploits the Picard/Borg relationship adeptly and uses the Next Generation ensemble crew to their fullest. (*****).
Star Trek: Insurrection: Despite delving into races never before seen on the show, this film combines a sound human-interest plot with the returning Next ... Read More
Rating: - I love this DVDs!!!
I love Star Trek, I'm a great fan! I always wanted to buy this set... and I finally did. The DVD's content is awesome! Lots of extras!
Some Cons... Only 4 DVDs are stamped with images, the rest of them are painted in grey/silver. I would like the box to be more resistant, made in a harder material, but it's ok, and it looks great. Also would be nice some booklets, or inlays... the doble sized dvd boxes doesn't make any sense. Because the two DVDs are located on the same side.
Overall, the packaging could be better, but the DVDs are simply great. A must have!
Rating: - Star Trek Collection
I've enjoyed having these high-quality widescreen DVD copies of the the Star Trek movies -- especially since these kinds of movies have always been visually intense. They look & sound really good on my home theater.
