DVD Reviews of Star Trek: The Original Series - Season One (Remastered Edition)

DVD Review: Still The Greatest Star Trek
Summary: 5 Stars

This is a great product. The remastered scenes and the extras are just great. This is the only copy of Star Trek season one you need

DVD Review: Worth money if you MUST have your Star Trek!
Summary: 4 Stars

Packaging, cool. Menus, sorta cheesy. Quality of video and sound, awesome. Worth it if you MUST have your Star Trek!

DVD Review: This is where it all started
Summary: 5 Stars

This is where it all began. Star Trek launched science fiction film into a new era. It had many selling points. The stories and plots
were intelligent and thought provoling. Laced with enough action/adventure to keep it from ploding. A great combination for good
entertainment. It also projected the future as a bright, hopeful place. Something that was really needed in the hippie/drug infested
1960s. It also treated science fiction as a serious entertainment subject instead of goofy 90% fantasy like it normally was in
those days, and still is today all too often.
Star Trek became the benchmark by which good science fiction in film was measured. And still is today. Still the original and best
of the lot.
Some complain that the acting was not that good, and in some cases it wasn`t. But it was no worse than acting in general in tv shows
of the time, or today for that matter. They may also complain that the special effects were not very good. But this isn`t the case.
Remember that this was the mid 60s. For the time, they were pretty good. Especially considering the low tv budget they had to work
with.
As far as space opera in tv, it has never been matched. Which is a real shame. It shouldn`t be that difficult. But tv in generally
has been on a downhill slide since the 70s.

DVD Review: The Final Frontier
Summary: 5 Stars

Excellent product where all information advertised was accurate. The photo was very clean and the sound was very sharp. Seller very fast. Definitely purchase from again.

DVD Review: Remasters: an improvement of the original
Summary: 4 Stars

While I feel a sense of wistfulness at losing some "authenticity" in the new CGI effects, the overall product gives the series some new life. There will be those who will prefer to wait until a re-remaster with the old effects, but this interpretation is a fine first attempt at digitally preserving the essence of Star Trek.

Description of Star Trek: The Original Series - Season One (Remastered Edition)

Space. The Final Frontier. The U.S.S. Enterprise embarks on a five year mission to explore the galaxy. The Enterprise is under the command of Captain James T. Kirk. The First Officer is Mr. Spock, from the planet Vulcan. The Chief Medical Officer is Dr. Leonard 'Bones' McCoy. With a determined crew, the Enterprise encounters Klingons, Romulans, time paradoxes, tribbles and genetic supermen lead by Khan Noonian Singh. Their mission is to explore strange new worlds, to seek new life and new civilizations, to boldly go where no man has gone before.

In 1966, Star Trek set out to boldly go where no series had gone before, beginning a three-year mission that led to a franchise that would last decades. Here at last is the first season of the original series all in one box, 29 episodes in their original broadcast order. That means starting with "The Man Trap," and soon followed by "Where No Man Has Gone Before," the second pilot filmed and the first one starring William Shatner as Captain Kirk. The many highlight episodes include "Balance of Terror" and "Errand of Mercy" (introducing, respectively, the Romulans and the Klingons), the two-part "The Menagerie" (which recycled footage from the original pilot, "The Cage," which featured Christopher Pike as the captain of the Enterprise and is not included in this set), "Space Seed" (introducing Ricardo Montalban's Khan character), and "The City of the Edge of Forever" (written by sci-fi giant Harlan Ellison and considered by many the best-ever episode of the series).

The first-season DVD set is supplemented by 80 minutes of featurettes incorporating 2003-04 interviews with Shatner, Leonard Nimoy, other cast members, and producers, and some 1988 footage of Gene Roddenberry. The longest (24 minutes) featurette, "The Birth of a Timeless Legacy," examines the two pilot episodes and the development of the crew. Slightly shorter are "To Boldly Go... Season One," which highlights key episodes, and "Sci-Fi Visionaries," which discusses the series' great science fiction writers (most famously in "The City of the Edge of Forever"). Shatner shows off his love of horses in "Life Beyond Trek," and, more interestingly, Nimoy debunks various rumors in "Reflections of Spock." As they've done for many of the feature-film special editions, Michael Okuda and Denise Okuda provide a pop-up text commentary on four of the episodes filled with history, trivia, and dry wit. It's the first commentary of any kind for a Star Trek TV show, but an audio commentary is still overdue. The technical specs are mostly the same as other Trek TV series--Dolby 5.1, English subtitles--but with the welcome addition of the episode trailers. The plastic case is an attempt to replicate some of the fun packaging of the series' European DVD releases, but it's a bit clunky, and the paper sleeve around the disc case seems awkward and crude. Still, the set is a vast improvement both in terms of shelf space and bonus features compared to the old two-episode discs, which were released before full-season boxed sets became the model for television DVDs. --David Horiuchi
