Blu-ray Review Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan Director's Cut Blu-Ray Review (1 Viewer)

Chances are it won't be recalled anyway as most people won't notice the error, so it'll probably be faster to get your old copy replaced than it would be to wait for fixed copies to show up on shelves.

I saw the original series in 16mm while serving aboard the USS Enterprise in 1968&69.Gene Roddenberry had paid a visit while we waited to deploy.We watched them quite often during those two years.I'm 68 now and I have enjoyed the movies especially the Wrath of Khan and Voyage Home.The newer JJ Abrams take are really enjoyable with the casting of the main characters being spot on as younger versions of the original crew,especially Chris Pine as Kirk.I don't know if I'll worry much about Paramount correcting the missing lines in Khan.It doesn't seem so urgent to me now as it might have in the past.I used to raise a bit of hell back in the day if there was any deviation at all in movies at the theater on VHS,laser disc and DVD.I pick my battles more carefully now to cut back on the stress.I want to be around a bit longer to enjoy the newer technologies and restorations of old favorites that may make it on to blu ray and all.Sorry for babbling on.Movies have been my favorite thing for many years going back to the roadshows and all.Best wishes to all.

Same here!!

 

[Doug Wallen]

Same here!!

Ditto!

 

[Nelson Au]

I emailed them last night as well and no reply yet.

But call me irresponsible, or crazy. I'm actually thinking of keeping it. Or getting a second defective copy while I get the replacement. That way I can have the defective version too along with the corrected. Why? Why not?

And Warner Brothers just sends out a new disc, without having you to send the disc let alone the packaging and printed material. SMH

 

[dpippel]

Yep. Probably a good indication of very different corporate cultures.

I don't have the link handy but as I was contemplating purchasing this I ran across an article with I think it was the director of STII who hinted a 4K product was in the works. Rather than do the purchase/exchange rigmarole for the BD, I will just wait for the 4K UHD which I would hope will use the newly corrected master.

Be sure to buy the JJ trek films on uhd.
Paramount has stated they will use those 2 titles to determine if they will release any additional uhd blu Ray titles. Including non Star Trek films.

 

[Tino]

Did that even tho I'm not 4K capable yet. And they both came with $8 vouchers. [emoji106][emoji106]

Warner's parent doesn't have the same issues as Paramount's http://www.broadcastingcable.com/news/currency/5-ways-fix-viacom/153804

Maybe its just me, but I like the color on the previous version.

Current:

Previous:

 

[Worth]

The older version has far too much blue - to the point where all the colours on the console in the background are blue, as opposed to the mixture of blue and green on the newer disc.

 

[Carlo_M]

Yeah that's pretty damning right there. When one pic shows a mix of colors on the console and the other doesn't, that's when you know the blue push (for lack of a better term) was too high.
