Jul 31, John Yelverton rated it it was amazing. An absolutely beautiful book of amazing artwork from the wonderful world of "Star Trek". This is a book that is trying to be too many things.

Its part concept art which is what you would expect considering its title and part archive - since it charts the development of props and sets as much as the design and concepts of the look of the film and shows. However it does go in to surprising details - of shows that never where to rejected designs and sometimes where those rejected designs have sneaked back in to the show when no one was looking All in all its a fascinating look in to This is a book that is trying to be too many things. However it does go in to surprising details - of shows that never where to rejected designs and sometimes where those rejected designs have sneaked back in to the show when no one was looking All in all its a fascinating look in to the world of star trek - admittedly now the TV shows are becoming more and more part of TV history when do you consider enterprise part of the family it feels dated and it jars slightly with the recent reboots.

That said the reboot cleverly rewrote itself in to the time line it would be interesting to see where that takes the whole star trek family going forward. For any fan its a must read for the casual reader its interesting but you have to over look some of the dated ideas and props.

Jan 11, Melinda rated it really liked it Shelves: This was a fantastic Christmas gift that matched perfectly my recent reading of "The Fifty-Year Mission: The First 25 years" of Star Trek. This book provides background on costumes, set designs, ship designs Really so much fun to read thru and see the old and familiar when they were new and shocking! Aug 20, Mrklingon rated it really liked it Shelves: A fun review though not current of the artwork behind Star Trek - up through Voyager. I love these sorts of books because they give an interesting perspective on all that goes into making elements of a franchise like Star Trek.

Feb 28, Derrith rated it really liked it. The Next Generation Chapter Six: A New Direction; Star Trek: Deep Space Nine Chapter Seven: The Neverending Story; Star Trek: The Dream Fulfilled; Star Trek: The Motion Picture Chapter Two: The Wrath of Khan Chapter Three: The Search for Spock Chapter Four: But for any fan of this latest installment of Trek, I recommend it wholeheartedly. Personally, I wish there was more about how the designers redesigned the starship Enterprise, especially which versions they ended up not using.

Since there were no physical miniatures of the ships made for the movie, there is very coverage of the other Federation starships that are glimpsed briefly in the film. But overall a keeper to add to my Star Trek collection. Stay informed on our latest news! Check your email and spam folder to confirm your subscription.
