If you're going to slam something, you could at least take the time to make sure you're right. Otherwise you just end up looking stupid.

I like miniatures too...but I highly doubt we'll ever see heavy use of physical models in film or TV visual effects again. Anyway, I think the cgi Enterprise they have been using is just fine. I didn't care for the early one they used though...you know, the one with the Brach's peppermint nacelle caps and tiny balls? :-) Whine, whine, whine…what a bunch of babies!

For example, take that nice shot looking down on the saucer section. The old one looks really dramatically lit and the dark bits are dark and the lights are light and it just looks really exciting and dramatic and 'real'. The CGI one looks just like a grey blob in comparison. I'm not saying I don't like the new effects, I just find some of the choices of lighting, or contrast, to be a bit lacklustre. Like they've toned down the excitement by 25% or something. Bear in mind, I'm not a primarily TOS fan. I'm a TNG fan and I did not grow up watching TOS, so I have no nostalgia for it whatsoever. I just think the models look more exciting and realistic than CGI a lot of the time. Would I change it back? No way. I love the planets and all the other effects. I also love the camera angles and (of course) high definition is superb. I just wish the ship looked better at times. There are some shots where the CGI ship looks great, and that's usually when they do nice dramatic lighting and the ship looks full of life and energy. But these shots of a 'dead grey blob in space' spoil it. And why are the nacelles so light coloured? On the old ship, the nacelles and main deflector dish were more or less the same colour, so the ship was very well-balanced in terms of colour co ordination. With the CGI, the nacelles are nothing like the colour of the deflector dish, so it looks more jarring and clumsier. Just my opinion.
