On the TOS 6 movie BD set the bonus captains summit BD contains several shots taken from the upcoming TNG BD's which is where I grabbed those 2 VFX ones from. FC shows a few brief glimpses as well and again looks like its the upcoming BD as the transfer looks pretty good & very clean. As it has already been confirmed these have had their BD transfers done I logically assume its must be from those!!!
Indeed. The Trek BD set proves your point, as there's a marked difference between the HD clips and the actual movie presentations of the TOS flicks. I'll bet 100 quatloos that the TNG films will be the same; beautiful grain on the clips, but undeniably DNR'd on the main movies.
The only TNG movie I'm really concerned about as far as picture quality is Generations. The SCE DVD was too sharp and resulted in some jagged edges and shimmering. At the time, I only had a 27" TV so it wasn't that bad but now I have a 42" LCD.
TrekMovie's Anthony Pascale had this to say about the TNG Blu-Rays: "By the way I participated in some of the special features for the TNG Blu-ray set. I, along with Larry Nemecek and Jeff Bond, did a kind of video fan discussion of each film, which will appear on each of the movie disks. In addition, I recorded the audio commentary for Star Trek First Contact along with Damon Lindelof. Both were very fun experiences and I hope you all enjoy them."
As far as other features, I hope we get the Generations trailers this time (doubtful) and maybe we'll get director commentaries for Generations (David Carson did one for Yesterday's Enterprise on the last best-of set so maybe they kept him around a couple hours) and Insurrection (I still don't know if Frakes simply didn't want to do one or he did and they dropped it for reasons unknown).
I'm a fan of Nemesis as well. Was it the perfect TNG film? No. But it had one of the better space battles I had seen, it was fun to see the characters again, and it was certainly leaps and bounds better than Insurrection.
Nemesis was not a total disaster and the deleted scenes show it was misdirected and too much behind the scenes power was given to Stewart & Spiner which IMO ruined the last 2 TNG movies as they railroaded personal story choices in a take it or leave it manner so Berman could not refuse! You could probably recut Nemesis and make it much better it could like ST5 be partially redeemed with additional time/money.
Insurrection & ST 2009 however IMO......................
