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: Decent film, great sound, clear picture
Disadvantages: NO extra features at all

...*The Film Star Trek Generations is the seventh film in the Star Trek series and is the first to feature the cast of The Next Generation TV series. The film starts on board the Enterprise B, with Kirk, Chekov and Scotty guests of honour at the launch of the new ship. During the launch, they respond to a distress signal and during the mission that rescues passengers from two ships, Kirk is swept out into space. The scene then switches seventy years into the future and to the Enterprise D, under the command of Jean-Luc Picard (Patrick Stewart). Picard and his crew encounter one of the rescued passengers, Dr Tolian Soren (Malcom McDowell) who is developing a weapon capable of destroying stars, aided and abetted by some renegade Klingons. During the encounter, the Enterprise D is destroyed and Picard is swept into The Nexus, a place... Read review

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.

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...
