Got this at TheHDroom.....


Paramount Home Entertainment has unveiled plans to bring the Star Trek films with Next Generation cast to Blu-ray Disc this fall, confirming months of rumors suggesting they were on the way.

On September 29, Paramount will release the Star Trek: The Next Generation Motion Picture Collection on Blu-ray and DVD which includes Star Trek: Generations, Star Trek: First Contact, Star Trek: Insurrection, Star Trek Nemesis, and a bonus disc. The set totals 5 discs and will offer the films in 1080p video and 5.1 Dolby TrueHD audio.


Star Trek: First Contact, a fan favorite, will be the only Next Generation film offered separately from the box set on the same date. Also debuting individually for the first time on Blu-ray are the "even" numbered films: Star Trek: The Wrath of Khan, Star Trek: The Voyage Home, and Star Trek: Undiscovered Country.

Only want 'Generations' and 'First Contact'. Oh well, guess I'll only buy 'First Contact'. Hope these Blu-rays aren't plagued by waxy faces (heavy DNR) like the original movies set.

 

[sharkcohen]

Very nice, much better than November.

 

[shiznit]

Looking forward to these.

 

[giantchicken]

I wish they hadn't given up on the 7.1 audio.

 

[Scott Simonian]

Sweet! I love the TNG series. Didn't expect to see this so soon though I am glad. Good to know.

 

[eric.exe]

I willing to bet my life savings they are DNR'd just as bad as the TOS movie BDs.

 

[Kram Sacul]

If the clips on the current BDs are any indication then you are sadly right.

I can tell you that the Trek movies were worked on in reverse order so that lessons learned on the easier, newer films could be applied to the older material

Considering ST6 is one of the worst looking BDs, I'm scared of what their first 4 efforts look like.

 

[seggers]

Oh God, not more grain added, removed, scraped, shipped in and out - shake it all about and do the hokey pokey, EE DNR raped etc crap..... Please no.

As for the films, I will buy them and add them to the first 6 and enjoy them, just like I did the first lot.

Awesome news!

 

[johndn]

That is great news. I just bought ST TNG on DVD @ DD after a couple of years (yes

) of pondering it. Great series. Hopefully they put adequate effort into these.

 

[Brajesh]

Wondering how TNG was shot ... film or video? If film, we'll likely see Blu-ray versions of these similar to the TOS boxed sets. As tempting as TNG is on DVD w/the DeepDiscount sale going on, I'll wait if Blu-rays of TNG is possible.

 

[Geoff D]

Definitely getting this set. I think we all know that Paramount aren't gonna surprise us and deliver clean, tight encodes with naturalistic grain on a catalogue title, so I've given up caring. I took the TOS movies set for what it was, and enjoyed myself immensely. I'm sure I'll be saying the same thing about the TNG set, as I like each and every one of those flicks too. And don't forget the commentary from Frakes on Insurrection, which will be worth the price of admission on its own.

 

[sharkcohen]

I cannot wait to get these.

My understanding is that it is a comingling of both. So it will be a real challenge (and expensive) to release a quality BD.

 

[sharkcohen]

The TV show was shot on film, but editing and post were performed on video tape.

It's the TNG movies that are being released on BD, not the series.

I understand that Tom. I (and I believe Brajesh) were also referencing the series, and if it would eventually be released on BD.
