I wonder if either show will ever be redone with cgi effects like the original star trek.
I should note though, that when Galactica was released on DVD in 2003, it *was* remastered from the film elements and was given a treatment that Universal hasn't given to other series since then, Galactica in fact, was a rare case of something Universal released on DVD prior to when they started rolling out their catalog en masse from old masters in 2004.Originally Posted by kemcha
Universal should only remastered the audio and video. They should not commit to creating new effects for either series.
I just think that the new CGI technology would look uneven against the video footage that was created back in the eighties. I would rather see the current footage enhanced and remastered for Blu-ray/HD.
As has already been mentioned here, BBC Resources have already remastered year one of Space in high-definition. BluRay's have not been released, but the masters are already available, both in pillarboxed 4:3 and cropped widescreen (I think the widescreen version has had some UK HD telecasts).Originally Posted by Nelson Au
A digital remastering of Space: 1999 on the same level as the effort recently done for The Prisoner blu-ray set would be great! No CGI necessary, just a beautiful clean image of the live action. If they want to remove the wires and fix little bits, I can understand, but it's part of the series, so it's not necessary.
