1.Star Trek 4 : The Voyage Home [1986] starring: William Shatner, Leonard Nimoy, DeForest Kelley, Catherine Hicks, James Doohan directed by: Leonard Nimoy December 28, 1998
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: £24.99
This is where the decline starts. The Star Trek movies before this were of an acceptable standard. This is unfortuneatley one of the weaker movies. No Romulans, No Klingons, no villain to speak of at all. This is a typical time-travel star trek episode that would would suit the tv series more than a cinematic audience. Disapointing and one to miss.

2.Star Trek 2 : The Wrath Of Khan [1982] starring: William Shatner, Leonard Nimoy, DeForest Kelley, James Doohan, Walter Koenig directed by: Nicholas Meyer December 28, 1998

Definetly the best Trek Movie made with Nick Meyer at the helm, this film has too many highlights to mention, from the sweeping musical score to the pseudo sub-marine battle in the Mutara Nebula. Khan as an adversary, even out-hams William Shatner who, by the way - gives one of his best performances ever, as an aging hero, battling against irrelevence and then fighting for his and his crews lives. Again, Leonard Nimoy puts in a stellar performance as we see Kirk and Spocks somewhat deflated relationship, post Kolinhar (STTMP) rekindled. The battle scenes are entirely 4 dimensional - keeping the audience right on the edge of their seats as seconds tick by in sweat drenched hours, as they realise again and again, (shock, horror) that the good guys might ...

3.Star Trek 1 : The Motion Picture [1979] starring: William Shatner, Leonard Nimoy, DeForest Kelley, James Doohan, George Takei directed by: Robert Wise December 28, 1998

'ST the movie' is a real 'movie.' Meaning: not made for watching on the small screen. The best part of the movie is it's visuals: long, drawn-out scenes of the Enterprise docking or V-ger swallowing our heroes whole. Great subtle music; effects pre-CGI but it all looks great(if a bit dated, especially the opening shot of the three Klingon warbirds) Revelation at the end also struck me as pretty original. (And that's saying something in the SF-universe) But: what's up with gloomy Spock? Hey buddy, i know you're a broody Vulcan and all that, but you're half happy-go-lucky human as well! Forget?

4.Star Trek : The Original Series - Vol. 1.1 - The Cage / Where No Man Has Gone Before / The Corbomite Manoeuver [1969] starring: William Shatner, Leonard Nimoy, Gary Lockwood, Sally Kellerman, George Takei directed by: James Goldstone June 24, 1996

Space- the final frontier the first chapter in the sci-fi legend Startrek, which after 36 years is still going strong. This volume contains original never previously aired pilot, and the actual pilot with another episode. Very watchable material even after so long.

5.Star Trek 6 : The Undiscovered Country [1992] starring: William Shatner, Leonard Nimoy, DeForest Kelley, James Doohan, Walter Koenig directed by: Nicholas Meyer December 28, 1998
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: £0.34
The original Star Trek movie was decent. The subsequent 'Wrath of Khan' and 'The Search for Spock' were even better and enjoyable sci-fi sequels. However, the rot set in during overly cheasy 'The Voyage Home'. 'The Undicovered Country' however, is a decent effott and a movie that showed there was still some life in the aging franchise. The cast, despite getting on in years, manage to pull this off. Its a well written story, decently acted and well produced. This should of been the movie that helped us say goodbye to the aging original cast and prepared us for the next generation .... unfortuneatley they decided to make the 'Final Fronteir' instead ... bad move.

6.Star Trek : The Original Series - Vol. 1.3 - The Naked Time / Charlie X / Balance Of Terror [1969] starring: William Shatner, Paul Comi, Leonard Nimoy, DeForest Kelley, James Doohan directed by: Marc Daniels, Lawrence Dobkin, Vincent McEveety July 08, 1996
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: £1.47
"The Naked Time" is a look at the dangers of exposure to a dangerous virus - a precursor to the horror films of the seventies. "Charlie X" is a little ponderous - poor Janice. Intriguing idea but weak implementation. "Balance of Terror" is superb - the tense atmosphere it creates was only matched decades later on Deep Space Nine's invasion of Cardassia. This episode is the Federations first view of the warlike Romulans and exposes the xenophobia within us all.

7.Star Trek: The Original Series - Vol 1.2 - Mudd's Woman / The Enemy Within / The Man Trap [1969] starring: William Shatner, Alfred Ryder, Sharon Gimpel, Leonard Nimoy, DeForest Kelley directed by: Harvey Hart, Leo Penn, Marc Daniels July 08, 1996

Wasn't impressed with "Mudd's Women" - a missable episode. "Enemy Within" is a very good look into the mind of a captain. Expounding that its the combination of good and bad, and its control that creates the ability to lead. "The Man Trap" is an episode I really enjoyed. Apart from the obvious "Dr McCoy and I beamed down to the planet's surface" three guys beam down - you know the other one's going to get it... Although the alien kills a few crew members, not for pleasure, but out of neccessity, you feel empathy with the alien.

My God, ( no pun intended ) does this film get some stick! And why? Bill Shatner's directing is actually good, from the opening, Laurence Of Arabia style slo-mo shot of the rider coming across the desert, to his ability to accentuate the punchy comic-timing of much of the material. There's lots of laughs ( Scotty banging his head, Spock's casual one-up manship ), but also action and some seriousness. The acting is of a good standard - notably the 3 leads and Laurence Luckinbill as Sybok - and the relationship between Kirk, Spock and McCoy was never displayed better than here. Many slate this film, and many of the odd numbered entries generally - and okay, the effects and sets aren't the best. But the other, 'even' films all have flaws too - II has no face-to-face confrontation ... Read More:
