I enjoyed Discovery, it was shown on Netflix in the UK, i love the 2.39:1 aspect ratio and hope they keep it for season 3. Its the fortieth anniversary of Star Trek the motion picture, come on Paramount, spend some bucks and redo the fx of the directors cut and release on UHD 4k disc.

I think we can all agree that the best thing to avoid these arguments of which version anyone prefers is to have both cuts of the film on the disc via seamless branching, what was so easy for dvd seems so hard to do right on blu ray, it's about spending the money, scanning the material...

My cat loves em' both, it depends on how long they have been sitting on the shop shelves, sometimes they go dry.

If i had it i would, i rented selected episodes out, i do recommend Sheba Prime Dome Cuts of Chicken, the cat loves it.

A review i have read says this about the soundtrack. Speaking of the original material, CBS/Paramount has also seen fit to provide the show's unrestored monaural soundtracks in Dolby Digital 2.0 Mono format. You can choose this audio over either version of the episodes.

They look good too.

Star Trek is being shown on The Horror channel, it alternates between that and the CBS channel, all owned by the same people.

I believe it was, it's now out on the Shout label as Dark Angel.

It's like that Dolph Lundgren film* from the eighties, i come in peace, i leave in pieces or something like that. :D *Known as Dark Angel now.

That's okay, we all said our piece, now let's have peace, hopefully some day remasters will appear along with the DC of TMP.

If they are acceptable to you then why would you pay for any remaster, i mean aren't they good enough. ?

He seems to be suggesting its acceptable, i disagree, his point about going up to the screen to spot EE certainly seemed to be thread baiting because i don't do that and no one else i know does that, you see it clearly from your seating position. People are of course welcome to defend bad...

I disagree totally, you can say some people don't see it but to argue that it is a perception thing is nonsense, it is either there or it isn't, you seem to be in denial of any problems, do you actually think Star Trek 4 and 6 are acceptable transfers. Yes we have different tolerance levels...

There is a huge difference between excessive DNR and EE and attempting to repair damage caused by heat on the OCN, they used the best possible tools at this time to correct that damage, if they had not done so it would look worse than doing so. Televisions are getting bigger and projectors are...

You cannot compare negative damage due to filming in hot conditions with self inflicted man made ( digital tools ) damage.

I noted it and i wrote about it on my own site, i did not find that to be an issue, i guess if you don't know about the history of the film or about how they filmed it then you might complain about it, i haven't checked Amazon reviews but i guess there could be some complaints. Incidentally who...

That dead horse can come back to life, all it takes is news that Paramount are giving us the directors cut of the motion picture and we would be halfway there, further news of new 4K scans ( hell even new 2K scans would be good ) of the other films and, that they will include the extended and...

The reason you buy into blu ray is for the high definition image, if i wanted dnr, edge enhancement and artifacts galore then i'd stick with the dvd release, they can have a terrible menu system, awful packaging, zero extra content and i'd still buy the film on blu ray if the image quality and...

There is nothing to celebrate when there are some major issues with several of those releases. No one is asking for perfection, i am asking for competency, using old masters and then adding copious amounts of DNR and edge enhancement is nothing to celebrate, i'm glad for you Jason if you enjoy...

Too right and i assure you i will contribute as much bitchin' and moanin' as anyone else in this thread. :D

It's a pity they have yet to invest in new film scans for all of the series except the 2nd film. They see the films making money with substandard transfers, when people buy poor quality product it sends the wrong message out, the studio thinks why bother spending money on them, as a business...

That makes more sense, i hope so, i would imagine the third of the reboot films will be out in 2016 too.

I'm not wanting to wait until 2029, i hope you meant 40th and by 2019 although that's still too long.

You all had me all excited about the prospect of the directors cut of The Motion Picture hitting blu, now i'm down. :(

Andy loves his laserdiscs but i think he is unaware of how they made them and the SD masters used. One can argue the sound quality merits for some laserdisc titles when compared to a blu ray but not the picture quality, at this point i'd be happy to just get Star Trek: The Motion Picture in the...

Quite fitting really considering how often the TV shows and movies used time travel.

A+ Class is dismissed, a note to all Klingon pupils that extra points will be awarded for fighting in the playground. :D

Yeah but trying actually saying it in the original Klingon language. :lol:

You will be surprised once you find out the truth Andy.

I have a name Kevin, try using it, sorry you don't get my humour, maybe i need to use the smiley more. I didn't want to get into the reasons yet again as we have covered them but if you seriously think Star Trek 4 and 6 are fine for blu ray then i don't know what to say, the only one which...
