 Problems with the sound!! November 1, 2009
Michael L. Ratcliffe (MD)

I bought this because I wanted to replace my standard DVD copies and I love the star trek series and I will buy each of them as they are released on blu-ray, however I am writing this review because I have read most of the reviews that others have left and not one of them has touched on the problem that when you play an episode in the enhanced or original effects the audio drops out completely. At first I thought that it was limited to just the first disk but no I played an episode that was on disk #4 and encountered the same problem. I also bought a copy of this from borders and encountered the same problem so now I have to return both of them! I was playing it on a pioneer player, which is considered to be one of the best players around! I am planning on waiting until the second release if there is one so that this problem can be addressed.
 It's better than ever! November 1, 2009
David B. Hughes (Lincoln, Nebraska)
It's better than I remember. When I heard that they were updating the special effects I thought that this was the ONLY thing that needed to be fixed on the original ST. And, to have the original FX still on the blu ray, made this a great purchase!
Painstaking Restoration October 28, 2009

For all of those that think that this is just another cheap re-release of TOS, think again. Each and every frame has been painstakingly restored to it's like new condition. Almost every piece of dust, hair, and dirt has been removed. Make no "Bones" about it. 35mm was the HD of the day. And is in a way, superior to the digital HD of today. The film had grain,yes of course, but it also had incredible clarity and resolution. It is the equivalent of taking a modern 10 Megapixel camera and setting it to shoot at 24 fps. The results would be spectacular, as this remastered version is. The clarity is so good at times, as to make me believe that I could reach out and touch the actors. The colors are vibrant and real for the era. Anything you have seen before is washed out and drab compared to this. The time that was taken to manually and digitally remove almost every defect from the original film must have been staggering. This is truly a labor of love for Paramount and CBS. Admitedly, the new effects aren't state-of-the-art. But they weren't meant to be. They fit the era . And as such, add to the visual experience of TOS. My only complaint would be to release TOS in 16*9 in such a way that didnt distract from the original 4*3 aspect ratio. I just watched "Balance Of Terror" stretched to fit a 16*10 screen with no visible stretching or distorting of the actors at all. So it is possible to do this in a future release. This would look awesome on my 99" projector screen, but the clarity that is lost from digitally expanding the image to 16*9 on my player is just unacceptable. CBS/ Paramount, take note. 16*9 is the modern day aspect ratio. Just as 4*3 was back then.
 Worth my bucks! October 14, 2009

Yeah it wasn't cheap but its pretty sweet. I prefer the new effects. The sound is way quiet but whatever I just turn it way up.
Why aren't the episodes in order? October 6, 2009

My wife and I are a couple of Trekkies and couldn't wait for the series to come out on Blu Ray. You can tell the people who worked on this project put a lot of love and respect into their work. The picture is awesome! I like just looking at the restored and enhanced Enterprise. We have just one quibble; why aren't the episodes in order. We collected the series on VHS and each tape had two episodes with original air dates on them. The episodes in this set don't coincide. What's up with that?
