VHS Movie Reviews of Star Trek: 30 Years & Beyond [VHS]

Movie Review: Star Trek Hits A Super Nova
Summary: 1 Stars

Counting the WORST episodes of DS9,Voyager or Enterprise combined,this has to be THE WORST of all Star Trek related material in existance,by no means to be compared to the brilliant Star Trek: 25th Anniversary Special from five years earlier.This special represents the very worst of what happened to Star Trek after Gene Roddenberry died;the emphasis on a the financial francise results in this whole affair being total self parody.The whole affair is set in an award show format,already a warning sign for trouble and largely functions as a lot of canned jokes,lame parodies and 'First Contact' movie footage all delivered by teleprompter.Aside from a mildly campy "Frasier On Voyager" skit nothing on here is interesting or funny.Some of my opinion could be personal;I rate 1995-96 as one of Star Trek's worst periods creatively;saw the beginning the the creative decline of DS9,a lull in Voyager's and the release of what I believe is the worst Trek movie ever 'First Contact'.Personally while watching this I wanted to throw a rock at the TV.So.....if you are one of those people who hate Star Trek and want see a mean spirited parody this is for your.'30 Years & Beyond' is for the Craig Kilborn loving,Wesley Crusher hating,Dominion War LOVING Star Trek fan of the 90's.It's in the Trek related literature of the period too.So for many positive minded Trekkers such as myself who enjoy Star Trek for it's sense of hope rather then as a financial institution,this will only be a reminder of dark days for Star Trek.

Movie Review: Poor Documentry
Summary: 1 Stars

This is a rather poor documentry on Star Trek, mostly in the narration and the interviews with the various cast members are not well set up. It seems that Paramount rushed this program through production and it shows in the finished show. Not reccomanded for fans.

Movie Review: A good rental for the Star Trek enthusiast only
Summary: 3 Stars

Set in an awards show style setting without the awards, I felt the show was very contrived and slow paced. It basically consists of cast members and a few other celebrities giving a teleprompted narative of how Star Trek affected them, followed by a series of clips from the various shows. It's greatest quality was the fact that all the cast members were present (minus Patrick Stewart and Leonard Nimoy) and we could see them all in their civilian clothing as real people. But the tone felt very thrown together, as when people are reading lines that are unrehearsed. I personally bought this in a bargain bin for 3.99 which was worth it, but I would rent this one before spending fifteen bucks.

Summary of Star Trek: 30 Years & Beyond [VHS]

Originally broadcast on network television in 1996, this tape might almost be seen as a companion to William Shatner's Star Trek Memories. Indeed, the companionship is so close that, on occasion, the two share anecdotes, film clips, and even phraseology. Constructed as a tribute hosted by Ted Danson, it features ample helpings of classic Star Trek, Star Trek: The Next Generation, Deep Space 9 and Star Trek: Voyager TV shows, as well as the various Star Trek movies, in several well-crafted montages of film clips. All of the principals are on hand (live or on tape) and a number of them give speeches, along with such celebrities as Jerry Stiller (who riffs on the depth of his Star Trek obsession) and Joan Collins (who recalls her role in the popular 1967 Star Trek episode "The City on the Edge of Forever"). There are, in fact, probably too many speeches--and what was the deal with that Voyager skit featuring the cast of Frasier? High point: a clip from The Simpsons, spoofing the movies featuring the original (and aging) cast. --Marshall Fine
