| | | Includes 6 Motion Pictures Featuring Kirk and Spock!
Featuring the cast from the original television series, the Star Trek: Original Motion Picture Collection seven disc Blu-ray set includes STAR TREK: THE MOTION PICTURE, STAR TREK II: THE WRATH OF KHAN, STAR TREK III: THE SEARCH FOR SPOCK, STAR TREK IV: THE VOYAGE HOME, STAR TREK V: THE FINAL FRONTIER, and STAR TREK VI: THE UNDISCOVERED COUNTRY!THE MOTION PICTURE: When an unidentified alien destroys three powerful Klingon cruisers, Captain James T. Kirk (William Shatner) returns to the newly transformed U.S.S. Enterprise to take command. Leonard Nimoy, DeForest Kelley and the cast from the acclaimed original Star Trek television series mobilize at warp speed to stop the alien intruder from its relentless flight toward Earth. THE WRATH OF KHAN: It is the 23rd century. The Federation starship U.S.S. Enterprise is on routine training maneuvers, and Admiral James T. Kirk (William Shatner) seems resigned to the fact that this inspection may well be the last space mission of his career. But Khan is back. Aided by his exiled band of genetic supermen, Khan (Ricardo Montalban) -- brilliant renegade of 20th century Earth -- has raided Space Station Regula One, stolen a top secret device called Project Genesis, wrested control of another Federation starship, and now schemes to set a most deadly trap for his old enemy Kirk...with the threat of a universal Armageddon! THE SEARCH FOR SPOCK: Admiral Kirk's defeat of Khan and the creation of the Genesis planet are empty victories. Spock is dead and McCoy is inexplicably being driven insane. Then a surprise visit from Sarek, Spock's father, provides a startling revelation: McCoy is harboring Spock's living essence. With one friend alive and one not, but both in pain, Kirk attempts to help his friends by stealing the U.S.S. Enterprise and defying Starfleet's Genesis planet quarantine. But the Klingons have also learned of Genesis and race to meet Kirk in a deadly rendezvous. THE VOYAGE HOME: It's the 23rd century, and a mysterious alien power is threatening Earth by evaporating the oceans and destroying the atmosphere. In a frantic attempt to save mankind, Kirk and his crew must travel back to 1986 San Francisco where they find a world of punk, pizza, and exact-change buses that are as alien as anything they've ever encountered in the far reaches of the galaxy. A thrilling, action-packed Star Trek adventure! THE FINAL FRONTIER: It's Stardate 8454.130 and a vacationing Captain Kirk faces two challenges: climbing Yosemite's El Capitan and teaching campfire songs to Spock. But vacations are cut short when a renegade Vulcan hijacks the Enterprise, and pilots it on a journey to uncover the universe's innermost secrets. The Star Trek stars are back for one of their most astonishing voyages ever, with all the fun and excitement fans have come to love. So buckle up for a thrilling leap into the unknown that's "as much a spiritual odyssey as a space adventure, and it's all the richer for it" (Kevin Thomas, Los Angeles Times). THE UNDISCOVERED COUNTRY: The Enterprise leads a battle for peace in a spectacular Star Trek adventure that's "impossible to resist" (James Veniere, Boston Herald). The Federation and the Klingon empire prepare for a peace summit after years of war, but the prospect of harmony with sworn enemies is an alarming one to Admiral Kirk (William Shatner). And when a Klingon ship is attacked and the Enterprise is held accountable, both worlds brace for what may be their final, deadly encounter. Directed by Nicholas Meyer (STAR TREK II: THE WRATH OF KHAN) and co-starring Christopher Plummer, this action-filled epic soars with warp-speed thrills and excitement!
"[The Undiscovered Country] A fun, exciting--and dignified--sign-off for Captain Kirk and crew." Danny Graydon, BBC Online
"[The Motion Picture] ...a gorgeous visual spectacle...a science fiction epic, one to be reckoned into the annals of sci-fi franchises and extravaganzas." David Grove, PopMatters
"[The Wrath of Khan] ...this multi-layered action picture works so well you don't need to be a "Trekkie" to enjoy it." Mark Bourne, DVD Journal
"[The Voyage Home] A happy, heartfelt chapter that reunites the original cast with the original TV format, shying away from the cold and epic scale of the preceding movie adventures." Rita Kempley, The Washington Post
"[The Search for Spock] If Wrath of Khan is the 'action' entry and Voyage Home is the 'comedy' installment, then Search for Spock is the 'drama' -- and it's a damn good entry overall." Scott Weinberg, Apollo Movie Guide

Editor's Note
The voyages of the U.S.S. Enterprise continue in this trilogy of big-screen adaptations of the classic sci-fi series created by Gene Roddenberry. Seeking out bold new worlds often pits Capt. James T. Kirk (William Shatner), Mr. Spock (Leonard Nimoy), and the rest of the crew against extraterrestrial threats and the limits of human knowledge. Included here are all six original feature films: STAR TREK: THE MOTION PICTURE, STAR TREK II: THE WRATH OF KHAN, STAR TREK III: THE SEARCH FOR SPOCK, STAR TREK IV: THE VOYAGE HOME, STAR TREK V: THE FINAL FRONTIER, and STAR TREK VI: THE UNDISCOVERED COUNTRY.

[The Undiscovered Country] "What are we doing here?" asks William Shatner, a k a Captain James T. Kirk, as the aging starship commander leads his veteran cronies into a meeting at Starfleet Headquarters...It's a good question. "Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country" marks a quarter-century of Trek culture. This includes endless reruns of the original TV series, worldwide Trekker conventions, cartoon versions, gadgets, accessories, a spinoff series ("Star Trek: The Next Generation") and, let's not forget, the five "Star Trek" movies before this one...As now-white-haired engineer Scotty might put it, the crew's getting a wee bit long in the tooth...Not to mention waxy in the skin and rickety in the bones. The fake-hairpiece count also seems to be rising. But none of this matters. The seven hoary principals, Spock et al., could be dead, stuffed and mounted. "Star Trek VI" barrels along on industrial special effects and a 25-year momentum of good-willed, witty, human-interest sci-fi episodes...Director/coscripter Nicholas Meyer, who helmed the popular second "Star Trek" movie ("The Wrath of Khan"), moves this vehicle efficiently. He employs some tremendous visuals. At one point, the gravity stabilizer goes off in the Klingon spaceship. Invaders come aboard and start firing laser-type weaponry. The Klingons' spilled blood floats in the air in eerily beautiful purplish globules; it's space-age Sam Peckinpah...A final word for "Star Trek" founder Gene Roddenberry, a cheerful, abundantly inspiring personality who beamed out of this life earlier this year: By getting people where they live -- i.e. television and the movie screen -- his contribution to the pop culture is practically statesmanlike. This movie, so many years after the whole thing began, still bears the entertainment and humanistic values he imposed on every silly little storyline. - Desson Howe

[The Search for Spock] With a title like The Search for Spock, did anyone really expect that they wouldn't find the erstwhile first officer? So, with the resolution never in doubt (especially considering that Leonard Nimoy was directing), the real question to ask is: Is the search fun? The answer, for the most part, is "yes", at least once the story kicks into high gear. Star Trek III takes nearly forty minutes, much of which is filled with silly, mystical exposition about the current state of Spock's soul, before things start moving. The last twenty minutes are equally slow, but the stuff in between is quite enjoyable...The highlight of The Search for Spock is the ten-minute sequence where Kirk steals the Enterprise. Exciting, well-paced, and perfectly-scored, this gem stands out as one of the best segments in any of the Star Trek movies. Also noteworthy are a confrontation between the Enterprise and a Klingon bird-of-prey (although the "battle", such as it is, is anticlimactic, with the Enterprise's defense systems going on the fritz), the scene in which Kirk orders the ship's self-destruction, and a hand-to-hand struggle between the Admiral and the Klingon commander (Christopher Lloyd)...Like Star Trek II, Star Trek III is about sacrifice. In The Wrath of Khan, Spock gave his life for his shipmates. Here, Kirk loses just about everything except his life so that his friend can have a chance at a future. It's this sort of thing -- placing characters and themes above battles and special effects -- that has always distinguished Star Trek. While the absence of Spock leaves a vacuum in character interaction (there is none of the witty repartee that defines the Kirk/Spock/McCoy relationship), expectations about his return create a palpable sense of anticipation. So, while the sluggish beginning and ending mar this Star Trek outing somewhat, there's still enough here to please fans of the series, and, to a lesser extent, movie-goers in general. - James Berardinelli

[The Wrath of Khan] Because getting Star Trek fans to agree on any issue tends to be an elusive goal, it would take an exceptional project to unite the bunch. Star Trek II: The Wrath Of Khan came closest for several reasons. Ironically enough, a significant one is that even without the words "Star Trek," the film would still be a space adventure of the highest order. Almost destined to look good by comparison, Khan followed 1979's handsome, ponderous Star Trek: The Motion Picture, which spent a lifetime reintroducing each of the show's characters and another lifetime letting them drift through an endless nebula of special effects. Like Superman II, another superior sequel, Khan dispenses with the formalities and gets down to the business at hand...Director Nicholas Meyer came to the project with little knowledge of the series and little concern for avoiding such topics as the graying of the Enterprise crew: He made a central issue out of William Shatner's age, and brought mortality to center stage by killing off a major character. For all that, the film still stays planted in the Star Trek universe. It digs deep into the show's archives to find its titular villain, a genetically engineered superman played by Ricardo Montalban, last seen making a new start on an uninhabited planet after trying to take over the Enterprise. Now eager for revenge on Shatner after living for decades in the aftermath of an ecological disaster that killed most of his crew, Montalban finds the means to even the score after he commandeers a passing starship. What follows works both as a confrontation between two characters and as a showdown between two happily larger-than-life actors. Shatner and Montalban never share the same space, but their face-offs highlight the film, as they both wring every drop of drama out of their lines. - Keith Phipps
Apollo Movie Guide 7 of 10
[The Motion Picture] After a moderately successful three-year run on television from 1966 to 1969, the original Star Trek series was cancelled. For the next ten years, series creator Gene Roddenberry tried to bring it back without much luck. Following a number of red lights and green lights, Star Trek finally made its return in 1979, only this time as Star Trek: The Motion Picture. The result is intriguing as far as the sci-fi genre goes, but not exactly something I'd consider to be "Star Trek"...I've seen only a limited number of episodes from the original series and remember only one in particular. Kirk was stuck alone on a foreign planet battling some hulking lizard-like alien. The beast took the good captain to the limits, roaring and tossing papier-mache boulders. As hokey as it might have looked, cheap props were a big part of Star Trek's personality. But with the big screen treatment comes a big-time budget. And with a big-time budget comes a bombardment of spectacular special effects. This presents a major shift in tone for the franchise. On the one hand, the film looks great, comparable to the likes of 2001: A Space Odyssey and Star Wars. Even by the standards of two decades later -- computer-generated graphics and all -- the old-fashioned small-scale models still hold up from a technical perspective. On the other hand, with the focus shifted to the visuals, it takes away some of the television series' original appeal and personality. Suddenly Star Trek becomes just another sci-fi movie...While the movie's visuals are beautiful and the story reasonably solid, other than Kirk's signature marathon speech pauses, Star Trek: The Motion Picture is not Trek as usual. And at least for those of us who've never been Trekkies, that might actually be a good thing. - Ryan Cracknell
