Insurrection. A film that on it's own is a very bland but mercifully short distraction. But as a Star Trek product that takes into account other Trek properties such as Deep Space Nine? Character assassination. Let me explain. Insurrection had to acknowledge that Deep Space Nine was a thing...

Well, focusing solely on the principals is one thing. Focusing on them to the point where it comes at the expense of the other characters is another. The previous film, Star Trek IV, managed to give the non-essential characters roles that they normally wouldn't have gotten in the series, let...

If we're going to talk character assassinations, nothing beats Star Trek V in that department. Sulu, Chekov and Uhura were more than willing to throw their careers away and face a potential court martial for their actions in Star Trek III. Their loyalty to Kirk was that great. Now in Star Trek...

One of the pinnacle failures of Nemesis was everyone coming into this film wanting to make an action movie with Patrick Stewart doing action hero stuff. There are two reasons that I can come up with as to why this happened. 1. Patrick Stewart loves action. One of his personal favorite episodes...

I'm glad Nemesis is getting lower on a lot of reviewer's lists. Rick Berman honestly thought that this movie was going to nail it. The Next Generation crew was going to get the big send off unlike any other and movie goers were going flock from town to town to see it. And now, 14 years after...

It's funny that you see the multi-season arcs as a problem when I look at those as one of the definitive elements that got me so invested in the series to begin with. When it comes to TOS and TNG making a majority of their episodes standalone stories, you kind of give your story a predictable...

iTunes.

Funny thing about going with "the look" of the new Trek movies is that the look itself is one of the most criticized parts of both movies. Sets are way over lit, the bridge looks like an apple store complete with actual bar code scanners at every station and the lights, both onscreen and...

I'm not too convinced that would be the case since CBS is clearly keeping it's distance from Paramount's treatment of Star Trek. If you look at all their recent "The Next Generation" BluRay releases, no set contains a preview of Star Trek Into Darkness for it's theatrical run or for it's home...

This is not a stab against you in any way, but I find this statement ironic when it comes to Gene Roddenberry and his intended message of Star Trek. As a pure blooded Star Trek fan, I'm not afraid to say that Gene wasn't good at conveying that message either, and the biggest piece of evidence...

Don't forget the "Corbomite Maneuver" where Kirk, disappointed in his crew's performance has this to say. KIRK: Mister Bailey, phaser crews were sluggish. You were slow in locking them into your directional beam. Helmsman, engineering decks could have been faster, too. Program a series of...

And wouldn't you know it? JJ Abrams tried to do the exact same thing when he tried to tell CBS to not release merchandise based off of the previous depictions of Star Trek. http://www.thewrap.com/movies/article/how-web-star-trek-rights-killed-jj-abrams-grand-ambitions-91766

How do you make another Star Trek movie that's even more mass appealing than Star Trek Into Darkness? JJ Abrams has stated again and again in interviews that this film is being made for movie fans and that you don't need to know anything about Star Trek to enjoy it. He even went so far as to say...

Not to mention the fact that the film was also released in 3D with inflated pricing, so if you were to take the inflated price away, I bet that number would be a bit bigger. Also, I don't think anyone can say that what made this film perform better overseas was the good reviews or the fact that...

The 30th Anniversary of Star Trek III?? Oh, come on. I love that one.

We're fortunate that CBS takes great care of the Star Trek properties they own. They've recently said that they'll be handling the rest of TNG's three remaining seasons rather than outsourcing the work to other studios in response to the subpar quality that we've been getting. Sigh. If only CBS...

I wouldn't have had much of a problem if they had just established that this Khan is a completely different interpretation of the original Khan. While I would still have been disappointed at the lack of range and depth, at least they weren't going to mess with the original. But that scene with...

No. The Khan that Nimoy's Spock describes is not the Khan that you get in either "The Wrath of Khan" or the original series episode "Space Seed". Jesus Khan maybe, but not the original Khan. In Space Seed, Khan took over the Enterprise by depriving the crew of oxygen only long enough to knock...

Umm.... I don't care about how I rank up with you. You could be the developer of the next Star Trek series with every one here rallying up to support you and I would still tell you that Earth, in my opinion, isn't what makes Star Trek special. It certainly made for very good stories like the...

You got a point. Trek 09 does have a lot in common with the previous movies. Something attacks Earth and the crew must stop it. Because nothing says "To boldly go where no one has gone before" than always resorting to the "EARTH IS IN DANGER!" trope again and again. STID will mark the third time...

That would be tricky because if JJ Abrams is still going to be involved, he would actually have to acknowledge that the third movie is a Star Trek movie instead of just a plain movie for movie fans. The last thing he wants to talk about when it comes to the two Trek movies he's done is how they...

DNR'd transfers, sub-par new features, copy-paste menu design (At least the Bond set used different footage), no alternate versions where only footage was the difference, blue tinted Wrath of Khan, censored commentary tracks, text commentaries not carried over, bad package artwork, no disc art...

There's got to be more behind this than a simple flub. How could someone simply type "Restored Director's Cut of TMP" out of the blue without anything to back it up? Is it possible that it is on their schedule and someone just skipped a page or two while double checking their work? Maybe they...

If that truly is the case, I'm expecting a very subpar product. Both Darin and Mojo have talked about many instances where certain areas could be improved for HD and since they worked with Robert Wise in person, I wouldn't trust this release with anyone else.

From thedigitalbits.com Yeah, way too good to be true. It's most likely the "Special Longer Edition" that someone mislabeled.

Got mine on the Friday of the official release week. It came with some extras...... It was signed by- Bruce Botnick, Jerry Goldsmith's recording engineer Craig Huxley, BLASTER BEAM performer Richard H. Kline, Director of cinematography Special thanks to DavidinBerkeley for grabbing me a...

From Creature Features' website. Bruce Botnick - longtime Goldsmith recording engineer Craig Huxley - TMP synthesizer and beam performer David Newman - TMP session violinist and renowned composer Mike Matessino - TMP soundtrack re-issue producer Richard Kraft - Jerry Goldsmith’s agent...

And don't forget that the Creature Features sponsored event for the 3-CD set starts tonight. Kudos to everyone who put it together and to the guests who will be attending. A lot of great talent who worked on the film (including the Director's Edition) will be there even if they're not on the...

Oh, it would be beautiful. You would think with the rescanning of all the TNG footage that someone would ask "Can we re-scan TMP footage to?".

I mentioned this earlier in the Ten Commendments Forum, but since this is Star Trek, I've decided to repost it here. Director's Edition DVD BluRay Skin is naturally a bit green on both Vulcans and Humans, right?
