I think I know what you mean, however in actual motion it looks quite poor, with optical issues such as scratches, etc. That one frame happens to look quite nice. 2. It isn't out of whack, I goofed and didn't get identical screenshots -- you'll notice the Enterprise is closer to the camera in the "new" version, it was most likely a 1-2 seconds later in the departing squence then the old version. #82

On the images captioned "New Orbit Pass"/"Old Orbit Pass", am I the only one who thinks the Old shot looks a lot better. (I'm even disregarding the diameter of the spheres at the back of the nacelles, which seem to me to be off.) 2. On the images captioned "The Enterprise Departs the new CGI Pyris VII"/"Leaving the old Pyris VII", the New shot has a smaller planet but a larger Enterprise. This is not necessarily a complaint but I am curious why. I don't see a reason for it, and it seems to go againts the preserve-even-the-location-of-the-stars philosophy. 1.

I believe I see Roddenbery;s story. He portrays mankind in the 23rd century perfect or rather mature. Humans of the 23rd centuray have all the best attributes of ourselves. Maturity, reason and rational. It is the aliens who poses the negative side. Our imperfect attributes, immaturity, and irrationality. Roddenberry shows we can overcome these aliens. In other words Roddenberry is saying we can overcome our weaknesses with our good. By the way, I believe the Enterprise looked wonderful in detail. The lighting has changed to provide more detail with shadows giving it dimension and depth. I noticed sharper corners. The nacelles have more detail and color. Don't you think? Wouldn't it be wonderful if William Shatner portrayed George Samuel Kirk, the original first officer of the Enterprise, as James T. Kirk's father in STXI? Kirk would be close to his father and would on occasion consol with his father the Admiral (or retired)? Spock as Sarek? I think it could happen. Interesting. I believe I see Roddenbery;s story.

Even we cannot expect certain much-loved actors to look as trim as they did in their 60's prime! LOL! If only. Just emphasising the point that any new movie main character actors don't need to be musclemen, as the original uniform designs looked so cool on quite slim actors.

Not only are they cool in a flipover retro way, but any Star Trek movie actor will appreciate them as they will look good cinematically as a prop to react to. Unlike just "tapping" your tunic as later series had. Make it so J.J., Trek is back! Liked your idea of a wish list /ideas for enhancements section by the way John N.

What that series had in abundance was COLOUR. Fabrics may have to be updated, but keep that shortened trousers look with black boot whatever happens, as it was an iconic look. Hopefully the cast looks reasonably slim as they were originally. And keep the mini-uniform, black tights, short boots look for the ladies, as it was a tremendously flattering look for the women crew. I still have a huge crush on the still lovely Grace Lee Whitney who played Yeoman Rand. Actressess still like to look sexy on screen don't they?

I also noticed the "new" craters in Arena which were in front of the hills and the "Blast" from Kirk's cannon appeared to be re-done as well. One shot I would have loved to see in Catspaw would have been of Kirk standing on Pyrus 7 suddenly appearing (after he destroys the transmuter) with dark clouds thunder and lightning behind him. This would have been a GREAT shot. Still happy with what they did do though. Nelson #56.
