I'm a huge soundtrack fan as well. Did you see the recent release of some of Jerry Goldsmith's early TV work for CBS? It includes one of the scores he did for the original Perry Mason show. I also recently picked up the re-recording of Herrmann's scores for The Twilight Zone. Good stuff! Doug

I'd like to see them go back and digitally re composite the the original elements of at least the Klingon battle at the stat of TMP. The matte lines and milky blacks in that sequence have always bothered me. Doug

I realize that, I'm telling you why TMP DC might look softer (and there for appear to have less grain) than WOK DC. Doug

I'm not entirely clear on if any 70mm prints were struck or not, never the less if they were planned for, there might be an extra step in intermediary processing of the prints to accommodate a 70mm run. Doug

My pleasure. Yet another Doug

I really don't know, but all of the CGI effects for the directors cut are rendered at NTSC resolution also. If they want to put this film on HD they will have to go back and completely re-render all the new effects shots. Now according to the commentary from Doctorman and the others they are...

Because I pulled the vob file off of the DVD and imported it into my editing software. The video is flagged as 29.976, not 23.976 with 2/3 pull down. In other words a DVD player will see this as a 30fps interlaced video source not a 24fps progressive film source. Frankly I have NO idea why they...

It is talked about in the WOK special features. Doug

I didn't say they should look the same, I said there is no such thing as a "cheap" film stock. Kodak doesn't make low grade film stocks for low budget films. And in fact at that time virtually everyone shooting motion pictures would likely have been using that film stock, because Kodak didn't...

I've seen both films projected a number of times also. I had the opportunity to see them back to back on a 70 foot screen. While they are photographically very different, I wouldn't say that I noticed WOK being any grainier. There are any number of things that could cause 2 different films...

Again the film stocks that would have been available to Star Trek 2 would have been basically the same stocks that were available to TMP. In fact both films were most likely shot on kodak's 8517 100T. A 100 speed film. 5247 125T a slightly faster film was not introduced until the year after WOK...

I don't believe it would have been shot on Fuji stock as they would have been trying to match the footage being shot at ILM. The Kodak stocks would have more closely matched the film stock used for the VistaVision bluescreen photography. I don't believe that Fuji made a film stock that was...

There is no such thing as a "low quality film stock" for motion pictures. In 1981 when Wrath of Kahn was filmed they would have had the choice of about 4 film stocks from Kodak, none of them would be considered "cheap" but were for different applications. Interestingly both Star Trek: TMP...
