DVD Review: Star Trek - Motion Picture Trilogy - Page 3

Complete wastes of time are the “Starfleet Academy Scisec Briefs.” They run a few minutes and purport to be video briefings about items encountered in the films. Can’t see why anyone would have thought they were a good idea. Another pointless feature is “Collecting Movie Relics” on Wrath that looks at props throughout the movies in the collection of a few collectors and at a museum.

Other features are specific to the films they are matched with. On Wrath, “James Horner: Composing Genesis” is an interview that talks about his work. “A Tribute to Ricardo Montaban” has Meyer reflecting about the late actor. On Search, “Spock: The Early Years” showcases actor Stephen Manley who played Spock at 17.  He talks about the film and doing conventions (and attendees) since 2005. On Voyage “Pavel Chekov’s Screen Moments” has actor Walter Koenig talking about his role in the movie. “Star Trek for a Cause” shows Greenpeace representatives talking about whaling.

Star Trek - Motion Picture Trilogy is a good addition to a film library. Although for those who already own them, the extras aren’t near enough to warrant replacements of the previous Collector’s Editions.

    Why would you make a collection of DVD's without including the First movie doesn't make sense to me. But Marketing decision obviously.

    A bit dissapointing that it did not include the first movie, Star Trek The Motion Picture, Otherwise great collection. Great price too.
