If you can't see whats wrong with them you just don't know what you're looking at, which is not uncommon even on the HTF. 
 


I've seen them and they look fine to me, maybe it's you who doesn't know what he's looking at? hmmm?

Star Trek the Motion Picture in fact looks absolutely fabulous, so good I've watched it twice already, something I rarely do these days.

No it's definitely you, I have a great talent for seeing.

Regarding TMP; I would buy it if I could get it individually.

Please...what you're the authority? They look fine to me and I know what I'm looking at, your "talent" not withstanding.

You don't like them..fine. Don't tell us there's something wrong with our vision because we disagree.

Thank you Tino. I'm glad I'm not the only one who was happy with the blu-rays.

You do know that gold is worthless in the 24th century, right? 

What you're basically saying is the discs should be worthless (gold) but we got priceless (latinum).

I'm not implying there's anything wrong with your vision, anymore than I would say there's something wrong with an able bodied person's legs because they couldn't keep pace with an Olympic runner.

If you like them that's fine, they still average poor quality. "Ignorance is bliss," as they say.

In your opinion they average poor quality. I and others disagree. Ignorance is bliss indeed.

Star Trek V on blu was excellent too, a beautiful print. I watched it with Shatners commentary, his daughter was on the track too. What was interesting was that he would mention De and Leonard by name but not the other 4 Trek regulars, unless I missed it. And they were the 4 that famously hated Shatner, much to his surprise later on.

Talk about a silk purse out of a sow's ear!

Okay, this is when some fans step in to defend Shatner's directorial outing.  But it The Final Frontier really cemented the odd numbered sequel curse (although Undiscovered Country wasn't all that great either).

I think thats the first time the word "excellent" was associated with Star Trek V.

Being a true trekkie I like all the Star Trek movies, even Nemesis, the nadir of the series in my opinion. Trek V had the original crew and thats good enough for me, it's not like they made dozens of films.

And Trek V did have an 'excellent' score by the late great Jerry Goldsmith, bought the album and CD. James Horner's two Trek scores are fab too. Cliff Eidelman's score for Trek VI also superb. As a soundtrack collector I had to buy all these great scores. A shame there isn't any isolated music tracks on the dvds or blu's, especially on my favourite, ST-TMP.
