EAN: 0074646613429 Format: Enhanced, Soundtrack, Box set Label: CBS Paramount International Television Manufacturer: CBS Paramount International Television MPN: 66134 Number Of Discs: 2 Publisher: CBS Paramount International Television Release Date: January 26, 1999 Studio: CBS Paramount International Television Editorial Review: Amazon.com: After a decade of nascent cult fanaticism, Star Trek was finally reborn in 1979, given new life by an epic-sized feature-film production that all but squashed the quaint humanity that had been one of the original television series' most compelling elements (the producers got it right on Wrath of Khan and seldom looked back). Jerry Goldsmith's score, alternating robust heroics with alien mystique, is arguably the most memorable element of Star Trek: The Motion Picture; indeed, its main theme has heralded the voyages of the Enterprise in TV and film adventures ever since. This slipcased new edition resequences Goldsmith's music and supplements it with 25 minutes of previously unreleased, typically masterful cues. The set's "bonus" disc, Inside Star Trek with Gene Roddenberry, appeals to more polarized audiences: veteran Trekkers and shameless lovers of pop-culture kitsch. This 1976 artifact (previously unreleased on CD) was one of the first "official" efforts to address the show's burgeoning postcancellation popularity and features Trek creator Roddenberry ruminating earnestly about the show's origins and meanings with the likes of William Shatner and DeForest Kelley (who gives an eerily prescient lecture on the foibles of modern health care). Also features new narration by Nichelle "Uhuru" Nichols. Bonus points: Shatner doesn't sing! --Jerry McCulley Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Not as good as I had hoped.Believe it or not I am new to the Star trek world. I got this one and some other ST movies. I knew about the characters due to the pop culture effect it has had on society. But it took to long to get started and was slow and boring in several parts. Rating:  - Holographic SlipcaseThe disc is as advertised but I did not get the holographic slip cover instead I received the slip cover from Star Trek the Motion Picture. This is a minor disappointment but the music is still the same. If you purchase this disc you may or may not receive the Holographic Slipcase as advertised. Rating: - Love the SoundtrackBest soundtrack of the motion picture. A great edition for any star trek fan. Love the music. Jerry Goldsmith is the best. Rating: - Let's Face It ...although Trekkers and Trekkies have aired their fair share of gripes and complaints about the overall plot of 1979's STAR TREK: THE MOTION PICTURE, any fussing and nit-picking about the movie's various weaknesses is silenced when the discussion turns to Jerry Goldsmith's amazingly beautiful orchestral score. "Ilia's Theme", which opens the 20th Anniversary Collectors Edition soundtrack, is beautiful and haunting, much like the character of the Deltan navigator who followed her heart ...

However, the CD I was sent does not have the holographic slipcase, but the regular cover with graphics from the movie. If you want the holographic case, order from another source! |
