Star Trek: The Original Series - Season 1 [Blu-ray]
by Various DirectorsReview by Charles Mohapel Paramount Home Entertainment Blu-ray ISBN/ITEM#: B001TH16DS Date: 28 April 2009 List Price $129.99 Amazon US / Amazon UK / Show Article / While I have seen a few episodes of the new enhanced Star Trek: The Original Series on TV, I'm under no illusion that those were anything near the quality of the DVD/HDDVD Combo Remastered Edition released in November 2007, nor this new version on Blu-ray which gives you both the original and digitally remastered versions of each Season 1 episode. From official release/information: The first season Blu-ray release of STAR TREKŪ: THE ORIGINAL SERIES features brand-new technology that finally provides fans/viewers with the best of both worlds by giving them the ability to see each episode's newly enhanced or original special effects and hear a new enhanced soundtrack or the original one. Viewers will be able to select either version to view or toggle back and forth between the newly enhanced visual effects found on the remastered episodes and the original broadcast episode effects. Also for the first time, fans will be able to enjoy the series in 7.1 DTS-HD Master Audio, the best sound format possible, and have the option of selecting the original mono sound heard on the series' original television airings decades ago. As part of the special features, select episodes include the "Starfleet Access" bonus content. By choosing the "Starfleet Access" option, viewers will be able to watch the selected episodes with special pop-up trivia and picture-in-picture video commentaries. The set also includes an interactive tour of the starship Enterprise, rare on-set home movie footage, an inside perspective on what it took to transport Trek into the 21st century and much more. A definitive STAR TREKŪ collection with more than 24 hours of entertainment, the set will be available for the suggested retail price of $118.00 US and $136.00 CAN. An exclusive collectible Sulu figure from Diamond Select Toys is also being made available with purchase of the Blu-ray set; fans pay only shipping and handling charges. Starring one of the most endearing casts in television history led by William Shatner, Leonard Nimoy, DeForest Kelley, James Doohan, and Nichelle Nichols, STAR TREKŪ is a worldwide phenomenon and served as a launching pad for numerous television series and feature films. These classic first season episodes started it all, introducing the world to Kirk, Spock, and the rest of the Enterprise's iconic crew. STAR TREKŪ: THE ORIGINAL SERIES SEASON ONE is a seven disc set presented in the original 4:3 aspect ratio with English 7.1 DTS-HD Master Audio, English Original 2.0 Mono, Spanish 2.0 Mono, and French 2.0 Mono sound.
