 A Superb set - a classic series remastered August 19, 2008

This 10 disk set contains the entire first season of the original series of Star Trek. Each episode has been digitally remastered and the some of the effects have been redone using todays technology. This has devided Star Trek fans - some prefer the series as it originally was shown - others prefer it with these new effects. I must admit I think they have done a superb job on creating these new special effects. They have concentrated mainly on the ships and in my opinion this does not spoil your enjoyment. The music has also been rescored and again an excellent job has been done.
Of course no box set is 100% perfect. The packaging is not great and is prone to damage - particually the plactic case. It would have been nice to have slip case packaging with armary boxes. My other gripe is the episodes are in transmission order rather than the order they were shot which spoils the character development somewhat. Also the series first pilot The Cage has not been included. I also don't like the dvd/hddvd double sided format - it would have been better to release one dvd set and one hddvd set - perhaps then they could have included the original versions of each episode on the other disk side. It would have then kept fans happy.
Still these are only minor gripes. This is a superb box set and well worth adding to your collection. I hope they hurry up and release the second and third season with the same improved special effects.
and I thought mine was a catch! August 18, 2008

Somebody told amazon never deliver this item, not true, I just recieve mine today, very nice looking metalic box set.
I tought I was so lucky to buy this for 24 pounds, and it's hard to believe it's even cheaper today at 14 pounds!

The Fan Treks are all well and good, and I LOVE New Voyages, but let's be honest, you CANNOT beat the originals.
The remastered Trek is fantastic!
Great but what about a blu ray release??? June 10, 2008

One of my fave tv shows of all time, the first series of trek along with "the prisoner", "red dwarf", "babylon 5" and "the new BSG"
This dvd set is great, the new cgi is tastefully done and segs in nicely with the old footage. I have a lot of my fave episodes recorded onto dvdr from the tv with the old footage. but to be honest if i want to watch any episodes i dip into these newly mastered discs. In comparison the new CGI fits in beautifully and there are no self conscious extra footage so the pace of the episodes is not interrupted. The remastered normal footage looks cleaner and less grainy with a decent color balance and the sound is improved over older versions. It's about time this had a blu ray release now that HD is buried and dead. But if you are desperateto watch these pick up a second hand version as one side is HD the other side of the discs are standard def DVD.
recommended.
