Ten Star Trek movies and only Wrath Of Khan and Nemesis are the ones that has a very satisfactory picture quality. Film like and natural. Nemesis PQ is excellent and the AQ is reference.

The rest of the movies . . . . . . . . the resulting PQ is nothing short of an abomination. The amateurs and the ignorants in charge of the blu-ray transfers are hell bent in getting rid of film grain no matter what. Nevermind if the resulting PQ has lost its fine details and look "waxy", as long as film grain is gone or reduced as much as possible. This is Star Trek: The Claymation™ Edition. They even try to boost the contrast, brightness and colors on some scenes to give it a little more "punchier" image.

Can anyone honestly tell me this is what the film makers intention? Do you go to the movies to watch wax puppets? You know what's worse? Just like Patton and other catalog titles the source material is in very good shape but those m****** over there decided to digitally alter and manipulate the image resulting in the piece of **** you are paying right now.

Again, the "reviews" will come out and as usual will praise this ******* because its "better than DVD" along with excuses to why, why not and "So what?!"

This format can deliver but this amateurish work is making it a "good enough" format. It has promised great things for AV enthusiasts and but its not doing it in a consistent manner.

After the hack job done to Gladiator I can tell you now that I am willing to pay double or triple the price of HD transfers done right. No excessive DNR and EE. From restored and remastered print. The rest of them who has no knowledge of the process and "Ok" with it because its in the blu case can have their Claymation™ version.


This sets are just a waste of time. Then again who cares? They already have your money. Right?

I like how the dvd and the broadcast version look virtually the same. The BD is waxy but there's some nice detail going on.

Looking a bit waxy so far. I hope the screenshots get better.

So far it reminds me a lot of the Baraka BD. Good detail, good colors, sharp edges, but the filtering renders it as plastic.

Kirk needed a little bit of a wax job...the dvd and broadcast version make him look as if he is 100 years old instead of the 63 he was at the time of this films release.
The BD version has him looking much better... along with the great color and detail.

BDs so far look a little waxy at first, but they definitely have more detail. The 'First Contact' comparison in Xylon's post #5 really shows this. So far, these TNG grabs look better than the TOS movie BDs.

The changed the color timing quite a bit on Generations didn't they? Which one is correct?

It looks like all of them are DNRd. Maybe it's in the masters.

Looks like there is a little DNR. In motion I haven't been able to detect it.

BD is the best, by far, but clearly waxed on DNR and that is a shame.

Not even close for me. The Blu-Ray version looks the best by quite a bit. Looks like some DNR, but I can live with it.

Got the set yesterday and watched Generations last night.

It looked BEAUTIFUL. Some shots were a little soft, particularly those of Picard, but any time Data was the main focus onscreen, it was absolutely incredible. The detail on his face/makeup was rather astounding. Ship and space shots looked great, too.

The AQ was very surprising as well. Very full and powerful.

Overall, a hell of an experience. Best I've ever seen it. Make sure you check out that teaser trailer. That is one damn good teaser trailer!

I don't know if either is correct. Going by the whites (in one capture), the DVD and cable masters were pushed a bit into red but the Blu-ray seems to push into green. The BD doesn't push as far into green in that shot as the DVD pushes into red, so I'd guess (again, from a single shot) that the BD is more accurate.

The skin tones look off in Generations in the one shot so far provided. I think our eyes don't mind a little extra red but when you add too much green our eyes tend to tell our brains there is something not right. ( just my opinion )

I never saw it at the cinema so who knows maybe it's supposed to be more green.


The first screenshot from First Contact with Picard and Data holding their weapons looks so much better on the h.264 edition than on the actual Blu Ray. The other scene from First Contact look pretty good though.

I agree with you entirely. I think the BD colors are closer to being right but the green push just feels wrong in a way that the red push doesn't - and I think it comes down to skin tones and whites.

I saw the film twice in theaters; a friend of mine even gave me, at the time of the theatrical release, a `private copy' of the movie on VHS and I watched this VHS several times before the movie was finally released for home video. I guess I therefore have a rather clear memory of how the movie looked in the theaters. If that memory serves, the color timing of the BD is closer to the original theatrical experience than the DVD, but it's slightly too green.

I'm liking the green push on Generations. They've also added a bit more contrast vs. the other versions, which adds to the intentionally moody lighting on the bridge. The delicately blooming whites (look at the white 'halo' around Worf) are still held nicely.

First Contact does look a little odd, as at first glance it seems like it's been artificially sharpened - but in that case, where's the edge ringing?

Still, these two (appear to) look like gold compared to what Paramount did to the TOS flicks, and I can't wait to get this set.
