Fan response to the leaden-paced adventure was tepid, leading to the "even number rule": only even-numbered Star Trek movies were considered good. That certainly applied to the second and best in the series, The Wrath of Khan (1982); the fourth, The Voyage Home (1986), which was the best-received among the general public; the sixth, The Undiscovered Country (1991), which was the last to feature the original crew; and the eighth, the action-packed First Contact (1994). Reviews were decidedly mixed on whether the tenth, Nemesis (2002), broke the rule, but it's far from the worst in the series. Odd-numbered films were the somewhat cheesy Search for Spock (1984), which many fans like for its integrity to the original series; the forgettable Final Frontier (1989); Generations (1991), which was the first Next Generation film but also served to bridge the gap between crews; and the lackluster Insurrection (1998). Most of the feature films were released early in the DVD era, but are represented here in their vastly improved two-disc special editions, which boast widescreen anamorphic pictures, diretor's cuts of the first two films, numerous commentary tracks by cast and crew, humorous and informative trivia subtitle tracks by Michael and Denise Okuda, and a wide variety of new and vintage documentaries and galleries.
In the middle of the feature-film run, interest was high in reviving the franchise on television, so The Next Generation debuted in 1987. Featuring a crack cast led by Patrick Stewart, the series shook off early doldrums to become perhaps the most-respected Trek series of all. That honor might be challenged by the next series, Deep Space Nine (1993-99), which for a change took place on a space station and riveted viewers with its vast story arc that explored politics, war, religion, and other topics. Voyager (1995-2001) returned the franchise to its starship roots, featuring Jane Mulgrew as the captain of a Federation ship lost in the Delta Quadrant. Enterprise (2001-2005), the prequel series that took place before the original series, was unceremoniously canceled after its fourth season, breaking a string of the three previous series lasting seven seasons each. This set collects each broadcast series as released on DVD, with all episodes intact and varying amount of bonus features. The original series is in its tricorder-shaped 2004 sets rather than its meager two-episodes-per-disc format from the early days of DVD.
The only omissions from the set are the animated series (1973-75), which as of 2005 was not available on DVD, and the two officially sanctioned fan-focused documentaries, Trekkies and Trekkies 2. So perhaps The Ultimate Star Trek Collection isn't quite as ultimate as it could be, but it will still give you many years' worth of sci-fi entertainment. --David Horiuchi

Customer Reviews of The Ultimate Star Trek Collection
More of the Same I give the collection 4 stars for having everything a true trek fan could possibly want. I still have to agree with what all the other reviewes said; the price is ridiculas. Yes you are getting a lot of material and a high price is to be expected, but over $2000? Honestly, who other than the immensly rich is going to be able to spend that kind of money on DVD's? That is more than many people pay for their rent or mortage. I have all the orginal series as well as TNG on DVD already, but with prices like these there is 0 chance of me buying any of Voyager, DS9 or Enterprise. Its a shame though since DS9 was a fine show and I am a fan of Scott Bakula (Captain Archer) of enterprise. I will have to settle for Scott's other Sci-Fi hit Qunatum Leap which is at least priced at a reasonable thirty something dollars price.
I LOVE STAR TREK but this set is a pure total utter rip off.

>Trust me I love star trek and have since I was a kid in the 1960's but the price PARAMOUNT want's for this STAR TREK mega set is OUT OF THIS WORLD! Like many others have said their are better series than Star Trek out here that are still in production that have DVD sets on sale MUCH CHEAPER than the per episode price PARAMOUNT DEMANDS here for Star Trek. I would pay a slightly higher price for star trek because I love TREK but, I would not submit myself to the brand of blatant highway robbery being proposed here at this overly inflated price.

>I already have most of the star trek episodes I really like. I brought the star trek movies when they were being offered at a better price on DVD individually. Most of the Star Trek series while good were and are not worth the amounts of money Paramount is asking people to pay here. Most of the Star Trek Series is way overpriced and I vote on this Star Trek rip off series pricing by letting this crap stay right on the shelf unsold.

>PARAMOUNT overpricing the its Star Trek merchandise is doing more to cure me of my Star Trek addiction than anything my family had tried over the years. I still have a warm place in my heart for Star Trek and likely always will. Paramount has done a great job of cooling my love of Star Trek to that of a tepid pool, a love for trek that most of my life had the passionate energy well beyond that of any SuperNova.

>PARAMOUNT continues to overplay its hand regards Star Trek and in so doing is alienating its once loyal fan base. After Paramount finishes killing off the rest of its most loyal fan base with its preditory pricing in the fullness of time these way overpriced Star Trek items will be priced realistically and at that time like the Wolf I am I might actually buy them. Until these overpriced DVD's come down in price segnificantly the best place for these overpriced lamers is the UNSOLD Inventory Sheet's of Paramount Studios \ Viacom Corp'S DVD werehouse.

>My hats off to all Paramount Exec's you sure knew how to ruin a once great STAR TREK FRANCHISE. Congratulations I hope you enjoy your Bonuses.
Way too espensive!
Paramount is charging way too much for all of the Star Trek series as compared to every other DVD box set. Another Paramount release, Macgyver, is below $30.00 per season, and yet they still have the nerve to charge $109.00 and more per season of Star Trek just because the fan base would pay it if they wanted it enough. Personally I am content to watch them in reruns until such a time that they reduce the price to no more than $200.00 for each entire series. They were great shows, but I would rather spend my money on Buffy seasons 1-7 for $169.99!
