Talk about slapdash. Here's a tribute to <I>Star Trek</I> hosted by Leonard Nimoy and William Shatner, and within the first half-hour they've run out of things to talk about related to <I>Star Trek</I>. Though there are clips from both classic <I>Trek</I> and <I>Star Trek: The Next Generation</I>, they seem like an afterthought: montage fodder that only occasionally chooses a topic (like humorous catch phrases of the characters) and looks at it thoroughly. Otherwise, there's way too much time devoted to letting Nimoy shill for the <I>Star Trek VI</I> movie and reminisce about the special effects in <i>Star Trek IV</i> (which he happened to direct). Aside from superficial treatment of the Trekkie phenomenon (better explained in the movie <I>Trekkies</I>), the fan base is barely mentioned--and what's the deal with LeVar Burton's tour of Space Camp? It looks like an outtake from <i>Reading Rainbow</i>. This doesn't even count as a greatest-hits video because the organization is so haphazard. The whole thing smacks of moneymaking exploitation. <I>--Marshall Fine</I>
Viewer Reviews
I have been a HUGE Star Trek fan since 2002 and I decided that I had to have this. Star Trek: 25th Anniversary Special is incredible. This documentary is hosted by Shatner and Nimoy and they take us through the history of Trek. We also get to see TOS bloopers and the current space program and how progression has been in reality, hosted by LeVar Burton.
Another great thing that is shown is a few Trek parodies from other TV series; SNL, In Living Color and the Wonder Years. All of the skits are funny, my personal favorite was the Wonder Years Trek scene. The cast from both the Next Generation and the Original series are interviewed, a few behind-the-scenes people are interviewed as well. Some of the people interviewed
George Takei
Walter Koenig
Nichelle Nichols
Whoopi Goldberg
Patrick Stewart
DeForest Kelly
Rick Berman
and many more including Gene Roddenberry
A behind-the-scenes look at Star Trek IV and VI are shown. Many interesting facts are learned in this entire special. There is so much talked about and said in this special, it's a cannot miss for any Star Trek fan. I bought my copy from here at Amazon and it was in good condition and was totally worth buying, especially at such a low price. It is definitely worth a lot more that what it is being offered. Buy it, you will absolutely love it.
