Star Trek: The Complete Original Series Blu-ray $69.99 #BlackFriday #Deal

Image
I think The Original Series was the most appealing and satisfying Star Trek for both the casual and also the most determined, invested viewer until at least the 2009 movie came along and, arguably, seduced the casual audience yet more successfully. Now is a good time to add them to yours, if you have't already. Amazon is running their Black Friday Deals of the week and today's Deal of the Day all things Star Trek . The Star Trek: The Complete Original Series (Seasons 1-3) [Blu-ray]  box’s SRP is $179.98 but Amazon have just slapped it with an amazing 66% Savings at a  $69.99 price. All of the discs included are region free, so they’ll work internationally, and there’s plenty of supplements including alternate versions of episodes and tributes to the talent. Above all else, though, there’s the astonishing Blu-ray presentation. These episodes never looked this good on broadcast, and I found some scenes to be absolutely jaw-dropping.

Star Trek: Into Darkness

Image
So I used my $8.00 Coupon and went to see Star Trek: Into Darkness last night. All I can say is that I was very pleased. Abrams did an excellent job of keeping his universe unique while staying true to the original. I enjoyed the little homages he threw into the movie like Spock's "The needs of the few, outweigh the needs of the many" and Bone's "I'm a doctor not a torpedo specialist." The movie was enjoyable and I'd recommend it to anyone. It was easy to follow even if you are uninformed about the original Khan or the genetically engineered humans from the 90s. One thing I did notice is the reveal of Khan was lackluster, they up played the music and it was supposed to be shocking and suspenseful but for me it wasn't. I also couldn't get over Abrams signature Lens-flare for his futuristic look. Actually I never noticed it in the first movie until somebody pointed it out, now it's hard to overlook. The movie also did a very good job or ...
