Advantages: Star Trek what more can be said?
Disadvantages: Not enough hours in the day to watch!

...What would I have done without Star Trek: The next generation? Well.... I could have studied and become a doctor, got rich, travelled the world - I could go on but I won't instead I discovered the fantasy world of Star Trek:TNG and it will be with me forever! Now I am not a complete Trekkie (apologies to those who are) I don't like the orignal series at all - Deep Space 9 was ok, Never got into Voyager and haven't even seen an episode of Voyager. I guess in some respects Star Trek is a generational thing, by that I mean I got into TNG when I was in my teens when it was new so it is MY version of what Star Trek is. My mum says the originals are the best as that was her generation of Star Trek - Am I making any sense? Probably not so I'll leave it at TNG is my idea of Star Trek world. This box set was given to me as a gift and I... Read review

Advantages: Quite simply the greatest televsion series in the universe
Disadvantages: Over a decade old and sadly no longer in production

...For those of you who may not know what all the fuss is about, the Star Trek series' greatest outing was The Next Generation. More refined than the original series in so many ways, yet without losing the real essence of what made it so popular, which seems to have happened to subsequent series, Deep Space Nine, Voyager, and the particualrly poor Enterprise. TNG epitomises the whole idea of Star Trek, the wonder, the curiosity and the child-like awe of the what we do not know. In basic terms, TNG follows the crew of the Star Ship Enterprise, on a mission of discovery and exploration, to seek out new life forms and civilisations, to boldy go where no one has gone before (as opposed to "no man", which was stated at the start of the Original series) Some twenty-odd years after the Original Star Trek Pilot episode with Captain Pike...

Advantages: It's Star Trek.
Disadvantages: It's Star Trek.

...been up dated This series was called Star Trek The next Generation( or for sort TNG) it was hugely successful and in total there was 144 episodes of it made. In 1991 Gene Roddenberry died but the Star Trek legacy carried on into a new series called Deep Space Nine ( called DS9 for short) and two later series Star Trek Voyager(my favorite of all the star trek Series) and the one that is being broadcast at the moment Star Trek Enterprise.The story is basically the same in all the star trek films and tv series. The story is set in the future and is centre around the untied federation of plants. Which has lots of different planets and races as members. Each tv series is takes place around a particular ship or space station and tell the story of there various adventures and some stuff about the crews individual lives. Right so now you've all...

Advantages: Every Star Trek Movie, in one Handy Box
Disadvantages: There aren't enough hours in a day!

...If you love Star Trek, these are definitely for you! This is every movie ever made, okay thats only ten, but still thats impressive. The packaging is brilliant, it is a box within a box, with two Holders within that, which spread out and hold five movies. There are five original movies, and five of the next generation movies. In total they make 1101 minutes (I make that about 18 hours 30 mins) of pure star Trek excellence. The ratings of the movies differ, 1 is a U, 3 are 12s, and the rest are PG. All of the DVDs look the same, but as you lift the DVDs out the packaging there is a piece of artwork underneith relating to the movie. Right so the movies themselves, I wont tell you storylines, as 1, you probably know them anyway, also I dont want to give away too much if you havent seen them. STAR TREK: THE MOTION... Read review

Advantages: The entire main cast from the TV show return
Disadvantages: It is very slow

...had to spend a lot of screen time on them. Although the Enterprise looks beautiful in this film, the very long shots of the ship make the film seem to last a long, long time, and indeed it is quite a while until the plot gets going. Also the humour between Kirk, Spock and McCoy really does seem to be lacking, and this is a real problem as it is one of the favourite aspects of the series for most of the fans. However STAR TREK: THE MOTION PICTURE is a film to be respected. It was the first in the series of movies, of which the 11th is currently being shot, and of course the movies eventually led to 4 new versions of the show on television, starting with STAR TREK: THE NEXT GENERATION in the late 1980s. No other on-screen saga has produced as many hours of entertainment, and if it wasn't for this film then that wouldn't have happened... Read review

Advantages: One of the best Star Trek scores ever
Disadvantages: A bit repetitious at times

...Star Trek V: The Final Frontier came out in 1989 and was highly anticipated by fans, especially since the last three Trek movies had been such successes and The Next Generation TV series (airing since 1987) had also been gaining in popularity in the mainstream of audiences. Directed by William Shatner, this would be the first original crew feature in the new Enterprise-A, filled with religious mysticism, Klingons and a misguided Vulcan. So everything seemed to be in order; alas, the film was a great disappointment. It fared extremely badly and has been often called the worst Star Trek movie ever. It simply does not strike the right buttons the previous Star Trek films did on any point. The comedy seemed forced, overwhelming the dramatic aspects of the story, the special effects were lousy, there were numerous editorial mistakes very... Read review
