Customer Ratings & Reviews

I am a big Trekkie and have all the movies and shows. When I saw it on bluray and al the new special effects, I had to have it. You can watch the new improved with special effects or watch the original version. Being on bluray makes it even better.

The original episodes are absolutely stunning in Blu-Ray! Lots of extra features within each disc. A must have for any Star Trek TOS fan!

I have always wanted the series on Blu-Ray. Definitely worth the purchase.

Had been wanting to buy the original ST series for a while and knew for the 50th anniversary it might be re-released. On blu-ray, picture is great, audio not so much. In the first couple of episodes the audio seemed to cut in and out. Menus are a little hard to navigate from one episode to the other, but I do like the option of watching with or without the enhanced special effects. Packaging seems a little flimsy and barebones. Wish it could have been a little fancier considering this was a 50th anniversary release. But content is great, all the original episodes without commercials!

I bought this but ended up purchasing this in the original packaging instead because it was cheaper for that version. Note that both versions are the same, but the packaging was updated with this and is more practical. Price being equal, I recommend getting this version. I have watched a few episodes and it is wonderful to see these again. I have watched them in both the original version and with the CGI added to it. There is a bit of nostalgia to watching these in the original version and it is nice to have these. I must admit, though, that the CGI versions are a huge upgrade and make these more enjoyable. I love how this was updated using CGI. It was done right. This is worth every penny for Trekkies who liked the original version.

Bought this on the feeling of nostalgia. The picture quality has been improved greatly. One thing too of notice there are two versions to each episode one that features the original picture and one that has enhanced features. Most of the enhanced features are overhauled CGI shots and sounds of the enterprise in space doing battle and flying around. After a few viewings I found it redundant and boring. there are some who may prefer the old way and those who prefer the cgi enhancement. Overall great series. Happy with my purchase.

I grew up watching this series in black and white, and then after it went into syndication, grainy color. To see all these episodes in crystal clarity is just amazing. The added CGI I welcome and since I've seen the originals so many times before, it was nice to get a new take on some of the old effects. You can watch the episodes in either the original format, or in the enhanced format. You can even switch back and forth between the two while watching. A really amazing collection. Some people have posted that they don't care for the disc box the collection comes in, but I really like it. A really welcome addition for any Star Trek fan.

This series arguably contributed the most to what Sci-Fi is today. While the show is incredibly campy with effects that range from passable to downright lazy (the show was very low budget), the show is very enjoyable. You are also given the choice to watch each episode with its original effects or enhanced effects. From what I've seen, the only difference is the original shots of the Enterprise being replaced with CGI shots at completely different angles. Personally, I prefer the original effects. This is great place to start for those who want to hop on the Trekkie Train.

If you like the original series I recommend buying all of the seasons in one package. It's convenient for watching and selecting which episode you want to view. Each disc is labeled with the episodes. However, I would like this product better if you could select "watch all" episodes rather than choosing the next episode each time one ends.

I've been a huge fan of the original Star Trek series since my pre-teen years, and I bought the DVDs when they first came out. I was disappointed then because they didn't do any clean-up at all, they just straight transferred the old film to DVD. I'm much happier with the quality of this set. It looks great on my 4K TV. I like the versions with the updated special effects, although those fancy updates do tend to look a little out of place when they switch to the live action on those cheap 60's sets. What I didn't like was the audio - these are oddly quiet, especially for Blu-Rays. To hear the dialog I have to crank my speakers up to the point where they're hissing, and it's entirely annoying. Why put so much effort into the video and then put it out with terrible audio? I don't understand.

OK .. I do remember when Star Trek (original) premiered so many decades ago .. and the only thing we had was a Black and White TV .. (Yes, folks .. those things existed .. we couldn't afford anything else) THIS was when there was no CGI, actors had to bring us into the story lines and everything was used in an effort to try to draw our imaginations in to fill in the details (and no gory 'gratuitous violence' necessary .. just story lines and the talent to make simple things appear 'otherworldly') The thing is this .. we dreamed of going to the stars .. and now there's far more than that (including planned missions to mars, satellites and space scopes viewing distant galaxies, etc that are showing the sci-fi of yesterday is the reality of today!) Get this for the memories .. yes, it is cliche, but a good kind of cliche at times ..

This collection of the original series is wonderfully remastered and looks and sounds better than it ever has. One thing to note is that it does include new special effects footage they added in during the remaster which some purists may not like, but instead of being cheesy and destroying the original story lines (i.e. Star Wars remasters), it is done tastefully and doesn't get in the way. Highly recommended.

This series came out when I was 3 or 4 years old, so I don't remember watching it "live", but years later when it was in syndication and on all of the time, I watched every episode. It was my first science fiction experience on television and I found it to be well produced and entertaining. Even the special effects were ground-breaking for the era in which the show was filmed. Classic!

As a fan for as many years as I can remember, I can finally say that I have a very complete collection of TOS and bonus content. It's cool to have the option of enhanced or original SFX versions of the episodes. Bonuses included related eps of other Trek series and tons of making of specials from various time periods in the history of Trek. And the price is pretty agreeable as well. Very satisfied.

I've never been more impressed with the release of a blu ray television series than with this one. The picture quality alone is well worth it. The fact that you can choose to watch the original version of each episode or the "enhanced special effects" version just adds to this set. You can loose yourself in the extra's. This is probably on a lot of people's Christmas list this year...

A must have in the collection of any Star Trek fan. The entire original series of episodes that have spawned 51 years of stories and characters. The great thing about this collection is that it offers each episode in its original look and in a refined look that makes use of modern technology to create visual effects not possible in the mid 1960s.

If you are a fan of the original Star Trek (William Shatner, Leonard Nimoy, etc), grab this one. The discs are packaged well and the box is compact enough to fit in a small space. Not like others that sell them by the "Season" where they take up a lot of room. The entire series is included in one small package. Pick this one up, you'll be glad you did!

Watched the original broadcasts as a kid, grew up watching reruns every day. Had to have this. Nicely remastered, but I'm not sure I approve of the use of CGI to replace the external space shots. Great use of Hubble images in the background, but the ship images are just not high enough quality CGI to make a first generation Trekker happy.

I have wanted this series for a long, long time. The price of $49.99 was $20-30 cheaper than I have previously seen it. What can I say about the the picture...."WOW". Better than I had hoped for. And the sound is outstanding. With both video and audio restored, a must have for any "TREKEE" out there

I'm a big Star Trek fan, but Ive never actually seen the original series. The camp and cheesy effects always stopped me, but these remasters have solved that. The picture is crisp and the colors vibrant. I'm going through the versions with the updated effects and they look fantastic. As other reviews have said, those versions do have an audio problem. For some reason, the audio is very quiet and I have to jack up the volume. Overall, not the biggest problem, but it does detract from the experience a bit. That, paired with the poor packaging is why I give this set a 4 instead of the full 5.
