#94 – ”the more they try to cram this “supersize Enterprise” stuff down my throat, the more, and faster, they drive me away. No Blu-ray purchase for me! Probably no DVD purchase, either, at this rate.”

Oh who are you kidding? First, you need the DVD to do a frame-by-frame analysis. But more importantly, how does this one incongruity ruin an otherwise entertaining film. You either enjoyed it or you didn’t.

In fairness to you, this detail along with a number of other things in the movie also leave a sour taste in my mouth. I certainly look upon the filmmakers differently now by the way they have handled themselves when confronted with their harshest critics.

However, this was a fun movie with a lot of ties to the Star Trek I remember. I will definitely want to watch it several more times and it deserves a spot in my collection of enjoyable Trek yarns.

If you didn’t enjoy the film, and have no desire to see it again, then by all means, don’t spend your money on it. I did just that when Star Trek V was released on VHS, bought Star Trek VI and then never bought another one again. But not to buy a film you otherwise enjoyed because an impossible fantasy ship may not be depicted 100% technically accurately is foolish.

I look for such things in films too and am by far the worst nit-picker I know. But I was never once distracted by the dimensions of the ship during the course of the film. If anything you have to look at it as one continuity error, the discrepancies of which will hopefully be fixed in the next one. However they arrived at it, I have no problem with the justification that the Enterprise has become a massive vessel using the original design. So I fully expect them to render the next ship to match the published specs, which may mean that there are more and smaller windows, and the docking ports are shrunk.

I’m not a big fan of this design, but the video DID make it look good.

I really wish the blu-ray was coming out in the “steelbook exclusive” that Target and a few other places are gonna have. But it’s only the regular DVD that’s gonna have it. Bummer….

I can’t afford a blu-ray player. I’ve got a family to support and food and shelter are a little more important. It’s unfair that these features aren’t available to us poor folks who can only afford a $29 Apex DVD player from Wal-Mart. It’s not all bad, though. I loathe the Abramsprise and don’t really care to see it up close and personally anyway. That ship is ugly in its purest form and doesn’t deserve to wear the name “Enterprise”.

I think the song is ‘Ladies & Gentlemen’ by Saliva. I like them so I was quite surprised to hear them on the vid.

Simulator looks awesome though- can’t wait till this comes out!!

“But nevertheless better than in germany: They only have the Single-DVD – and if you want the special features you’ref orced to buy the BD. That’s why I’ll order the Double-DVD from the UK….”
There is a Steelbook 2-disc DVD abailable in Müller (drugstore, not bakery)!
It has the special features (deleted scenes, aliens, casting, score).

#83 – “The size is now seriously converging on 2379.75 feet (725.35m), with more and more official publications supporting this figure,”

Might seem to be a small thing, but the more they try to cram this “supersize Enterprise” stuff down my throat, the more, and faster, they drive me away. No Blu-ray purchase for me! Probably no DVD purchase, either, at this rate.

#9 Ryan Church was going for a “60’s architecture” look with his Enterprise design- something I didn’t pick up on at first.
So, given that fact, “retro” it truly is!
