Just got the newly released "Trilogy"...
As a continuous story, it rocks, and rocks hard IMO. An epic that spans the Ceti-Alpha system, the Mutara Nebula, Vulcan, Earth, and Earth of the past! Bad guys Khan & Kruge are malicious, new character Jillian is excellently realized, Kirk goes through Hell, and comes out in one piece, Spock & Sarek grow as characters, Starfleet honours Kirk with a demotion...!!!
Taken as a single tale, there IS no better Trek IMO.
Plus: the new transfers are unbelievably amazing.
Your review?

I just picked up the original movies(1-6) on Blu-Ray, and oddly enough these are the films I watched first.
It is a fantastic storyline that weaves through.
While 2, and 3 are closer together(probably could have been one epic movie) than 4 I think each film has enough strength to stand on it's own.
Together though....There will never be a better Trek storyline in the movies...PERIOD!

I feel that Undiscovered Country is the best single movie, but even that can't compete with the awesomeness of the "trilogy."
Only thing close would be Best Of Both Worlds 1 & 2 and Family IMO.

Odly enough i agree with this, but it has very, very, very, like .0000000000000000000000000009 microns, stiff competition from the whole Tom Paris/ B'elanna Torres-Pais stoey line from season4-"Homecoming", and beyond. But then again i'm a hardcore Parisite.

Huh. Looks like more than a few of us took advantage of the sales, eh? :)
I just picked up Khan and Voyage Home on Blu-Ray, and watched Khan last night. It feels a bit dated in parts, but the movie is still excellent. And the Blu-Ray looks fantastic. I definitely don't feel like my $7.99 was wasted, not at all. They didn't have Search for Spock in stock, so I'll have to keep an eye out for it later.

Oh, I hear ya, Chris - you got a good deal on those, though. DVD, or Blu-Ray? I can't remember if you got a Blu-Ray player or not.
Like I haven't invested enough money in this stuff over the years, now I find myself buying Blu-Ray versions of all my old favorites. And new favorites, like the JJ Abrams Star Trek... Sadly, I couldn't find a good deal on that one yet. But I will. 2001: A Space Odyssey was on sale at a couple places, but they were all out of stock. I guess I should take that as a good sign, that that many people are into that movie!

Those three movies are the best that Trek ever produced.
That said, the NEW Star Trek blows them all away by a mile. I've watched the movie seven times already in ten days. I'm addicted to it.
