Blu Ray is more than an upgrade. It is far superior to DVD. I still haven’t been too keen on repurchasing movies. Only ones I really love will be on Blu Ray. DVD’s have gotten better, but it is still a compromise in mastering. I have noticed newer DVD releases tend to look better, when upconverted better than older DVD’s that look grainier.
I can see why studio’s have the struggle to re-render fx for older movies. It is expensive and probably hard to recoup the cost, especially when competing with newer movies.
My point of view if there is a demand for it, than do it right. Don’t piss off people that by your product.
I expect a lot from Blu Ray and I am very pissed at SONY for producing 720P games for the 1080P 47″ Phillips LCD, I purchased. I bought the PS3 mostly for the Blu Ray.
They should call 720P Yellow Ray and 1080I Green Ray. 1080P Blu Ray.
I like the classic Star Trek films and all of the series. I want to see them done as best as possible on Blu Ray and no executive bullshit decisions to leave things out. DO IT RIGHT THE FIRST TIME!

I really thought once Blu-Ray became THE winner that movies like Star Trek series would be rushed out to take advantage of Blu’s momentum. I mean those are the kinds of movies I bought a Blu Ray player for. If they don’t hurry it’s gonna become an expensive doorstop.

paramount would rather wait see how good sales are before they release alternate cuts or wait until future star trek projects when the hype for these would be at its peak just be happy that we are getting trek on blu ray its a new format u cant get everything at once

A new master for the TMP definitely has to be done, but how hard is it for them to go back, grab the original data files used to make all those fancy new CGI effects, and re-render them? I’m sure it is slightly more complicated then telling the PC to use the original data and generate a 1080p or higher image, but shouldn’t be impossible. I figure the more expensive part would be getting the artists to render and design all the new shots in the first place? Putting it through the render farm again shouldn’t be that expensive right? It’s all 3D data right?

Maybe when the new Star Trek movie comes out . I hope they will, and it’ll be nice to see the original versions in high definition while I really enjoyed the director’s cuts.

It sucks that they are even thinking about releasing the theatrical cut of TMP on blu, the extended cut is superior however, we need a brand new master made , cleaned up and with new HD effects shots. I watched the extras on disc 2 and some muppet was on about how they made the new effects shots grainy to match the original footage???? like he thought he was being clever? ……

Guys, if you need the original TMP version in a half decent format, there are still LD’s out there, and they look and sound great with the sound effects as God intended (sorry but the new Klaxons are so, so wrong).

Fingers crossed someone at Paramount sees sense (yeah, as if!) and we actually get both versions out there. Would be nice for them to listen to the fans for once in life!
