get a life people.......2005-01-13

come on dont waste your time . being a fan is one thing,but this is too much.

What is the point?.......2004-04-04

No, I have not seen this, nor will I. I am a fan of BOTH and comapring the two is idiotic. Get a life, and don't waste the money on this.

Yawn.......2003-09-22

If you're a fan of either series, then guess what? You're a geek, just like me. If you're arguing over which is better, however, you are a looser. Big difference.

To get into the nuances of either series would take forever, but the concept of compairing these two is silly. First of all, any preferece would be a matter of opinion. If you like big explosions and an almost western style of Good vs. Evil, you would tend toward Star Wars. If you like a more technical delivery of tougher moral choices, Star Trek is your game. Compairing them because they both have "star" in title is ridiculous at best, as they are in very different sub-genres. It would be like "Star Man" vs. "Star Search".

Star Wars is a space opera, and is comperable to Dune or Battlestar Galactica, two sources Lucas has admitted to drawing heavily from. Star Trek falls into a military sci-fi, and is best compaired to Babylon 5 or Andromeda. A clear case of apples and oranges, it makes as much sense as compairing "The Good the Bad and the Ugly" with "Moulin Rouge".

In short, get a life.

bored.......2003-08-20

Anybody who wants to 'dis' either series needs to get a life. Both have major entertaining values and is just a matter of personal opinion. I personally prefer Star Trek because it is more scientifically acurate, however Star Wars is a lot of fun. The point being IT DOESN'T MATTER! But onto the review of this dvd, It is just some schmuck's way of getting a quick buck off of die hard fans of one or the other (just like this latest Jason vs. Freddie Movie). The technical side of this movie is just so bad, that unless your into home movies, I wouldn't have spent a dime on it (and didn't since I returned it and got a refund).

Unbiased.......2002-12-09

These reviews all seem to ahve a slant... A stark (and mostly raving) slant. One bashes Star Wars, the next bashes Star Trek... Why can't the geeks just get along? I, being the ubergeek I have found myself to have become, am a fan of both. They both have very strong and weak points. I've gleaned that this DVD, which I am reviewing (but have not actually seen... sorry) takes equal opportune punches at both franchises. If you are a fan of either, and have a single humorous bone in your body, it is reasonable to think that you may enjoy the jabs. If you take them as personal insults, you have deep-rooted problems that I couldn't even begin to heal in this forum. May the force live long and prosper (That pun went over the top... I now have to cleanse myself)
