Along with the crew of the Enterprise, they explore strange new
galaxies, new civilizations, to seek out new lifeforms, to boldly go
where no man has gone before. Join Captain Kirk (William Shatner) in
8 of his greatest missions as he faces the unknown on Star Trek:
Captain Kirk's Boldest Missions, a new 2015 compilation DVD from
CBS.
From
aliens to xenomorphs, join Kirk and his crew as he saves the galaxy
from hostile aliens, doomsday devices, to even evil
alternate-dimensions versions of themselves, even time travel. Time
and time again the crew of the Enterprise faces impossible odds,
Captain Kirk is supported by his first/science officer Spock, Doctor
Bones the medical officer, Scotty the chief engineer, Uhura the
communication officer, Sulu the helmsman, and Chekhov the ships
navigator... together the explore and protect the galaxy and all it's
wonders and dangers.
This
8 episodes of the original Star Trek includes how he met Khan
(as originally played by Ricardo Montalban). This is the best and
original space opera before we had real computer graphics, it shows
how it's ideas and stories were beyond it's time. Through fiction
and science fiction we have to wonder what sort of future is mankind
heading for and even if we do travel among the stars one day, what
sort of 'aliens' will we be?
Of
course, all three seasons have been issued in Blu-ray sets (some of
which are reviewed elsewhere on this site), so the 1.33 X 1 image
here is only going to be so good, but the lossy Dolby Digital sound
was a little better. There are no extras.
