Much less waxy. No edge ringing. Very nice on those fronts. The color grading I could go either way on.

That would be like someone today wearing clothes from the early 1800s.

You make it sound like Abrams only moved to Star Wars as a consolation because he couldn't do everything he wanted with Star Trek. It's quite the opposite. J.J. Abrams has never given a flying fig about Star Trek. He has said many times that he was 100% a Star Wars kid growing up. He took the...

That has nothing to do with it being a model vs. CGI. I'm really not understanding your argument. Now you're pointing to another movie that used physical models as proof that CGI would be better than models? The models in Star Trek: TMP have real weight and physical presence on screen that CGI...

I couldn't disagree with you more. Adding pointless shaky-cam would not improve the scene one iota. The fact that much of the footage from this scene was recycled in Wrath of Khan with brisker editing and played significantly better there should put an end to this mini-debate.

The model work in that scene is incredible and compares very favorably to any weightless, motion-blurred CGI that might be used today. The issue with the scene is its editing, not the effects themselves.

You complain about plot holes in VI but don't mind the gigantic plot holes, moronic "science," and main characters behaving like idiots in IV? By most objective standards, ST V is a "bad" movie, but it still has good things in it and I can enjoy it on its own terms. ST IV is a bad movie...

Releasing a box set of just the first four presents two concerns: 1) Paramount may stop here and never release the rest of the movies. That would be very disappointing. 2) After releasing a I-IV box set this year, Paramount may just go ahead and release a I-VI box set next year (and only a...

Personally, I found the Director's Edition too choppy, the doing of a man who took criticism of his prior work too personally and overcompensated in trying to "fix" it by hacking away at every scene, even those there was nothing wrong with. That version cuts out a lot of character moments that I...

I guess I'm an outlier in preferring the theatrical cut of Star Trek: TMP over the Director's Edition.
