New star trek movie box set

[Buckster666]

Amazon UK have a new "remastered" box set listed containing 6 TOS movies and 4 TNG movies, with a couple of bonus discs. Does anyone have this? As want to kniw if this just a repackaging of the old discs or a new set, which might contain director cuts of 1,2 & 6

Just a repack.

yep, its annoying as I cant decide if I should just wait for directors cuts! I heard the undiscovered country( I think that was the one) is awful in its theatrical form.

Ive never seen the directors cuts and cant find the dvds now, id rather have blu though. I cant see why the marketing department don't just release a proper blu set with directors and theatrical cut versions.

Undiscovered Country is fantastic.

Motion Picture is horrific, the director's cut isn't much better.

I bought the original 'movies' set out of ignorance. Wasn't even aware that they weren't including the DC of TMP. That being said, I'm not overly bothered. I can take or leave either version on the SE DVD so I'm not that concerned with going with the theatrical cut on the BD.

Wouldn't mind a DC of The Final Frontier though - one that removes God and any mention of him/it and probably about half of the remaining footage too. Boring movie is boring.

The Motion Picture is a great film, have watched the BD of that more than any of the others but it is a shame they didn't have the foresight when they did the Directors Edition to render the new CG in HD

I was hoping with the release of the new Trek film they might have spent the money to strike new 4k masters and give us some nicely detailed and DNR free releases but sadly not.

so torn about getting these films on blu, I don't own them at all, but have seen them all years ago.

its annoying as I assume the directors cut of wrath of khan and motion picture are both better than the theatrical cuts we get on blu?

I hate buying things only to get short changed!

always worried they will release directors cut boxset straight after I would buy this!!

arghhhhhhhhh what to do !!!!

TMP is very good - slow but very good (I didnt like it as a kid but I like it much more now). Undiscovered Country is not one Im interested in (yes Ive seen all of them a few times).

Wrath of Khan
First Contact
The Undiscovered Country
The Voyage Home
The Motion Picture
Generations
The Search for Spock
The Final Frontier
Nemesis

That's how I'd list them (I still havent' seen Insurrection) - Undiscovered Country is one of the good ones. I've never seen the director's cut but I don't remember the theatrical one ever being dismissed as rubbish compared to it - the only one I can think of where fans think that is TMP.

I don't own any of the old ones on blu-ray, the boxsets never dipped low enough at the right time for me but I'm hoping this will go to £50 at some point. I much prefer this packaging to the bulky one of the last complete boxset.

I have just received this from Amazon UK.
I'm not entirely wrong in suspecting that this is not... erm... "factory sealed", right?

Yikes.

Also, if you suffer from a level of OCD, you might not like that the Nemesis disc art doesn't match the rest of the set.

At least, that's how it was in my set, also from Amazon. Might just be an isolated incident.

I do.
Luckily it isn't of the "everything needs to be uniform and line up" variety.
But it is most certainly of the "when I buy a new item, I dont expect it to arrive in a plastic bag sealed with sticky-tape" variety.

I got my copy like that too, but the actual plastic case inside is factory sealed in cellophane. I think the outer plastic cover might just have been added to protect the cardboard cover, you should open it and check as it might be sealed inside.
