I only really first noticed the matte lines upon viewing The Directors Edition the first time (which was the first high-resolution home video release of the film) back in 2002 or so. I know Director Wise's approach to the Directors cut was not to have any changes or additions that didn't look...

When you think abt it, Paramount was not just shortsighted in their decision to forego having the Directors edition done in HD, but in so doing also failed (thus far) to preserve the work of a highly-respected director who's intention/ hope was for this version to eventually supersede the...

IF it were the 40th anniversary AND another Trek film were due out this year, you bet your Starfleet-issue boots it would happen (or would atleast stand a very good chance), but alas... I guess one out of two and 2 fingers crossed will have to do..

AS long as they don't reach inflation-adjusted versions of those prices, I can (just abt) live with it. :>] (What I mean is, eg. $25.00 in 1989 was abt the equivalent of $50.00 today.)

Think I know how to get TMP Director's Cut on Blu-ray, remastered etc....bring back a character from/ unique to TMP! Perhaps David Gautreaux as Commander Branch in a new show set in alternate reality in which Epsilon IX wasn't captured by V'ger after all, or maybe a young Branch (new actor) as...

Rest assured there's still a very good chance the DC will eventually get released in HD, it's just that the studio suits - who make decisions primarily based on what their spreadsheets tell them and not too much else - have to be constantly reassured the market is still there for Trek on Blu...

Not that they'd lose much sleep over it, of course, but do you suppose Paramnt's Theatrical division people are even aware how much the Television division's catalog output has quite often put theirs to complete shame, quality-wise?

Very true. Also, Enterprise was no longer the "character" we knew and cared about, but instead a more or less generic vessel.

This latest packaging of the Next Generation films proves something I've long felt strongly about. I've always believed they should not have "killed off" the Enterprise-D (in "ST: Generations", a movie chock full of issues) so early in the Next Generation film series. You see, I felt this...

I remember back when Paramount issued the very first widescreen edition of TMP (on VHS) and it was the theatrical cut, apparently because they realized the widescreen would have revealed the unfinished set in the shot of Kirk in white suit exiting the ship just before Spock's take-off in the TV...

As I've said in the past, if Paramount has any respect at all for the wishes of the late Robert Wise, they must make the Director's Cut available in HD and/or Ultra HD at some point - even if it's only an upconvert of the DE DVD (of course, I certainly hope NOT) - as we all know it is meant to...

As you know, over the past couple of years it's been predicted by several "authorities" here that Paramount is unlikely to spend much money restoring/ remastering the legacy Star Trek films...not even for the franchise's 50th anniversary next year.. This for a number of possible reasonable...

I see. It could be my memory has gotten the colors mixed up with the titles of some other film (it "has" been nearly 30 years). As I said, supposedly the initial video release (released for rental only) were produced using a print, or prints, that had this version of the title. If so then...

A question about TWOK: I first saw TWOK in 1987-88 when we rented the VHS from the local store (didn't get to see many movies in the theater in those days, unfortunately). I cannot say I have the world's sharpest memory, but I almost swear I recall the opening titles of the film being...

A good reason why we demand a new edition of ST:TMP Director's Cut (hopefully recomposited/ remastered, not just upconverted) is the fact that the existing DVD, in terms of picture quality, is rather outdated. Somewhere in the mid-2000s (after TMP Dir. Edition was released), DVD - not counting...

I corrected some of what I wrote there but the point is unchanged. Yes, exactly. Your reply is perfect :). The name of that movie is "I Come In Peace", right? I

Peace in "this" thread? :-) It's as likely as Paramount doing all that and actually pleasing a third of us (for a time) in one fell swoop.

Why bitch and moan? It's something we like to do. It keeps us alive and going at optimum, like a good steam engine, and keeps this thread going at full throttle. How fun would it be if there was nothing to ever complain about? :) Besides, even when the studio actually brings out something that...

Hi, just to go back to "The Motion Picture" for a moment, I don't know if anyone has brought this up, but Paramount/ Warner waited until nearly a year after the 50th anniversary of Jerry Lewis' "The Nutty Professor" to release the 50th anniversary edition Blu-ray. While I realise "The Nutty...

(Kevin EK) "From Paramount's perspective, they figure that people are still buying the 2009 discs, so why should they spend more money to make new ones?" I second that. When an item continues to sell very well, they usually keep it in print and don't bother bringing out a new edition, aside...

True. However, it appears the studio has not made all the details of the release available as yet. At the least, it could turn out to be just a digibook edition.

The original "Alien" is getting it's own 35th anniversary Blu-ray reissue. I realise that, among the general public, that movie is a bit bigger in terms of popularity compared to ST:TMP, but it naturally causes me to once again moan "Why, Paramount, must you wait til 2016 (yeah, I know it's...

SNL fans need to get a life lol (hope you get the reference :>] ) Seriously, you never know with SNL. Especially if it was part of a sketch. (I'd look up the footage on Youtube but I'm too lazy right now)

By the way (slightly off-topic), I said "Trekfan" because I've never been truly sure which term most Trek-goers prefer best - Trekkie or Trekker? I've asked a fellow fan or two now and then, but no satisfactory answer as yet.

How do we know they haven't already secretly begun doing so or better yet, are more than half-way done? Hard to believe, but studios are still capable of successfully keeping something under wraps, once in a VERY great while. (Not that i know something :) I don't. I live out in the sticks...

My guess is they know it's going to sell, so they don't bother going way out of their way to improve things, until maybe some special anniversary (for the film/s or the studio) comes up. It was no different back in the days of VHS. Paramount's 100th anniversary has come and gone, so our best bet...

At least, we're fans of a franchise that's a serious cash-cow. As a contrast, fans of the British Sci-Fi TV classic "Space: 1999" (http://www.hometheaterforum.com/topic/286836-space-1999/?st=0) have been waiting almost 4 years to complete their Blu-ray collection (of a 2-season series) (The...

Just to respond to this, I realise that when people get together they like to argue over stuff. That's just how we are. Besides, fans naturally need something to do in between studio announcements :>).

I remember watching one of the featurettes on the Director's Edition DVD concerning the new (and final) cut and, if memory serves, I recall either Robert Wise or Matessino saying that they had briefly considered trimming a few seconds from the "shuttle-round-Enterprise" sequence, but instead...
