Star Trek I - X Theatrical Edition Box 12 Disc [Blu-ray] Review

In May 2009, Paramount released Star Trek: Original Motion Picture Collection (Star Trek I, II, III, IV, V, VI + The Captain's Summit Bonus Disc) [Blu-ray], which contained the six Original Crew 'Star Trek' films ('The Motion Picture' - 'The Undiscovered Country') in their theatrical cuts, numerous special features both old and new and a bonus disc of brand new content known as 'Star Trek: The Captains' Summit'. Later that year, in September, the same studio released Star Trek: The Next Generation Motion Picture Collection (First Contact / Generations / Insurrection / Nemesis) [Blu-ray], which contained the four 'Star Trek: The Next Generation' films ('Generations' - 'Nemesis'), with identical special features as their previous DVD editions, along with a bonus disc of varied new featurettes.

Star Trek: The Stardate Collection is simply the consolidation of these two 'Star Trek' boxed sets; nothing more, nothing less. The 12 discs (10 movies and 2 bonus discs) are packaged in two tri-fold cardboard/plastic disc holders, which in turn slide into a sturdy cardboard box, taking up very little shelf space. Somewhat annoyingly, the discs are "stacked" two per plastic casing, so that one has to remove the top disc in order to get at the bottom disc. This is especially annoying considering that, with the 'Star Trek' film franchise's "even-number rule," the discs on the bottom are precisely the ones you're probably going to want to get at more often!

This boxed set is clearly for casual fans as opposed to die-hards, who would have all these movies/bonus materials already. Some fans (on Amazon and elsewhere) have been complaining that Paramount is releasing all the films again, without any added special features, and none in their director's cuts. I ask these fans plainly and simply: Would they rather have the studio re-release all these films just as they were presented in their previous home video editions, or would they have the studio add a few token bonus features so that they, as true fans of the series, would feel obligated to buy all the movies again, thus eating up money and shelf space? I am not saying that this excuses Paramount for not releasing the director's cuts on Blu-ray; I am simply saying that, in my opinion, some fans are missing the point of this release.

The bottom line, as I see it, is as follows: If you are a casual 'Star Trek' fan, or a 'Trek' fan new to Blu-ray, then this is the set for you. If you already have all the films on Blu-ray--especially in the two boxed sets mentioned above--then you will find (both literally and figuratively) nothing added in this collection. Either way, The Stardate Collection represents the best, most complete 'Star Trek' film franchise anthology available to date, although fingers remain crossed for director's cuts in HD.

One final note: This movie compilation has nothing to do whatsoever with the book series of the same name. Star Trek: The Stardate Collection, Volume 1 is, rather, an omnibus of 'Star Trek' comic books, volume one of which is being released this October.
