The good reviews just keep rolling in!
"This interview was fantastic! I loved hearing about Gene Roddenberry's bright, optimistic visions of the future and how we were in a new age of hope. I was great to hear him discuss the conventions and the fans. Truly this DVD has definitely found a prominent space on my shelf and I plan to watch it many more times!"

"I purchase Star Trek Magazine every couple of months just for this purpose when it informs me about new stuff available on DVD to buy. The March/April 2007 (Issue # 131) of Star Trek Magazine from Titan Magazines had a great spread on this DVD "Gene Roddenberry: Up Close And Personal" and I couldn't wait to get my hands on a copy. Going to www.roddenberryinterview.com I immediately purchased a copy and eagerly awaited it's arrival from the USA and slammed it straight into the DVD player as soon as it came through the post. What a gem has been released on DVD here - We get a snapshot in time as Ellen & Gene Adelstein interview Gene Roddenberry in his Beverly Hills home on June 16th 1981 covering a wide variety of topics that have rarely been touched on before. In the very raw and natural footage we get some candid talk from the great man himself freely discussing some fairly momentous points in the history of Star Trek and his visions for humanity...Originally aired in Tucson, Arizona, this interview had not been seen by the public since that time and as a Collector's Edition 40th. Anniversary it will sit nicely on my DVD shelf with my other Star Trek DVDs. A rare and truly fascinating interview that should inspire Trekkers and others about hopes for a brighter future for humanity as it's message shines through and holds as good today as it did then."

DVD WAS GREAT! "I received my DVD on Friday, and watched it last night. I was so impressed with the original interview as well as your new interview with Rod. Your questions were so insightful. You could tell how much at ease Gene Roddenberry was with you. It made me feel as though I was there with you because there was such an intimate relaxed feel to the interview. It made me realize what a visionary Roddenberry was and also makes me want to get all the old Star Trek shows and watch them again."
