Anyone get the rereleased TOS films DVDS?

[Csalem]

I don't think this is currently being discussed but if it is, I apologise. I was just wondering if anyone bought 2-6 which have been re-released on DVD to coincide with the new films. They have some commentaries that look interesting, by amongst others: Ira S. Behr, Ronald D. Moore and Orci & Kurtzman. I'm tempted to get these as they are only 10 Euro each, even though I own all the Special Editions already.

Why don't you buy the box set with all six movies?

I can't decide whether to buy these or not as I also own the SE's. they're only £5 each or I think 36 for the set but is it worth it?

Found them today and they all have newly recorded commentaries. I love commentaries! New extras, too. Well worth the price!

The boxed set has seven discs, including one with a special hosted by Whoopi Goldberg, interviewing Shatner, Nimoy, Stewart and Frakes together.

I was thinking of buying the box set but it didn't say if it had the commentaries on it. All it said was over 2 1/2 hours of new extras so I was afraid I would get them and have no commentaries. I was only able to but 234&6. Are 1 and 5 out separately and who does the commentaries on the?

 

[All Seeing Eye]

If you're talking about the TOS films I saw advertised where they have remastered them then yes I have every intention of getting them.

 

[Warped9]

At present I only have TMP and TWOK DE's on dvd. I plan to get TSFS, TFF and TUC DE's just to have a look at them.

The rest can rot.

The boxed set (in Australia, I assume same worldwide) has the same discs as the single releases. Plus a seventh disc with Whoopi Goldberg interviewing Shatner, Nimoy, Stewart and Frakes: "The Captains' Summit".

The commentaries are:

ST: TMP: Michael & Denise Okuda, Garfield & Judith Reeves-Stevens, Daren Dochterman

ST II: Nicholas Meyer, Manny Coto

ST III: Ronald D Moore, Michael Taylor

ST IV: Roberto Orci, Alex Kurtzman

ST V: Michael & Denise Okuda, Garfield & Judith Reeves-Stevens, Daren Dochterman

ST VI: Larry Nemecek, Ira Steven Behr.

TMP, ST II and ST VI are as seen in cinemas, the first time for those versions on DVD for TMP and ST VI.

This is weird. As far as regular DVD goes, I can only find a "trilogy box set" that has Star Treks 2, 3, and 4.

http://www.amazon.com/Star-Trek-Mot...ef=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&s=dvd&qid=1242688519&sr=1-2

Am I missing something here? I cannot find any box set on Amazon that has all six movies in it except on Blu-Ray.

Even on the StarTrek.com site itself it just lists these:

It doesn't appear Amazon has it and I'm not sure about the rest of the US, but the UK has this site which links to a number of online retailers: http://www.find-dvd.co.uk/dvd/Star-Trek-Original-Motion-Picture-Collection-1-6/1092235.htm

Here in Australia there are also a number of retailers selling it.

Does anybody know if the Blu-Ray of "Star Trek: The Motion Picture" is the original or the director's cut?

Original.

I'm interested w/TWOK Horner's creating Genesis. Wonder if there was any unreleased background music for that section of the dvd? Just curious. But I never saw a James Horner interview. Maybe I will go w/the times and pick up a blue-ray dvd player.

It's an interesting interview but no, no "unreleased music".

If you want the music that accompanies Carol's "Genesis Presentation" tape, it was composed by Craig Huxley (former TOS child actor, Craig Hundley) and is released as a track on an LP and (rereleased) CD called "Genesis Project". I bought the LP in a record store when first released in 1984, and a Sonic AtmoSpheres CD version from Amazon a few years ago.

I'm going to rent some of the blu-rays just to try but screencaps I've seen are pretty discouraging with regard to picture quality. I only own the TUC and FC special edition DVDs so if there were good high-def releases I could certainly be open to buying.

Based on what we've seen so far, I suspect we're going to get another round of Blu-Rays later on such as a TMP director's cut BD.

 

[JTK2099]

I bought the Blu-Ray movie set and love it! The new commentaries are great. The only picture quality issues are with people using HD projectors to blow the image up really large. I have a 42" plasma set and the films look fantastic. I also love the Star Trek Summit disc. Overall the best money I have spent in quite a while.

The new digital effects Wise had created for TMP first have to be rerendered in HD. I'm sure we'll see it somewhere down the line. I like that this set contains all of the theatrical versions so I can see them they way I remember them when they came out.

 

[Nerdius Maximus]

I see they're all being touted as the theatrical versions. Does this mean no Scooby Doo ending(Col. West!!!!)for TUC? If so, great. That little addition to the VHS/DVD releases was absurd. I really hate that part.

And I wouldn't mind getting TWOK without all the deleted and alternate scenes put back in the movie, like they did for the special edition. There was no need to use an alternate take of Kirk and McCoy's "birthday" conversation. Nor did they need to stick that scene with Scotty's nephew in there. I realize it made Scotty's grief over his death more understandable, but after his cornball lines, (The admiral is as blind as a Tiberian bat, sir!) you're almost happy he's dead. He was like a cockier Wesley Crusher.

 

[JTK2099]

I have always hated the changes made to TUC for home video. Thankfully the version in the Blu-Ray set does NOT have the ridiculous Scooby-Doo ending or any of the other changes. The change they made to TUC that I have always hated was the part where Scotty slides down the pole and complains that Azetbur "never shed one bloody tear." In the original version, it dissolves from Azetbur saying "Kirk will pay for my father's death" to the trial. I think that is much more effective than a straight cut to the Scotty/Spock/Valeris scene.

I saw all of these movies in the theater so many times as a kid that I literally have them memorized. I am thrilled to have nice copies of them as I remember them. I sure wish George Lucas would pay us the same courtesy.
