Hi there,

HD versions of the TOS-movies are available since a few days. I wonder, if anybody has taken advantage of the (hopefully) better resolution and discovered new facts on starships and registries?

E.g.: Is the registry of the Oberth-Class starship (at the end of ST IV?) visible or can the Operation Retrievel-Chart now be seen clearly?

Bye, Stefan

Hey, no one's forcing you to buy the movies again... [Wink]

Of course, if you have a Blu-ray player and the capability to view full HD then hey, why not.

I don't own them and only have them in 720p, but I will be buying them when I get my BD-Rom drive.

They look like they were filmed yesterday, so if anyone wants 720p screens let me know, I'll try to accommodate.

Something I totally forgot to look for was the 'other ship' in spacedock in Star Trek III.

That ship still had the same name and registry as the Grissom, since no relabeling was done until TNG.

"A film made in 2008 isn't going to look like a TV series from 1966 if it wants to make any money. As long as the characters act the same way, and the spirit of the story remains the same then it's "real" Star Trek. Everything else is window dressing." -StCoop

Mike Okuda told me via e-mail some years ago that there was a production still with the model labelled as the U.S.S. Copernicus NCC-623 from STIV.

Have they been cleaned up/remastered AGAIN? for the HD release?

Is TMP the new version or the old one or both?

It's the old cut without enhanced FX. ST II is without the extra scences, according to the reviews on the web.

Really? That's the first I've heard about that. So the Tsiolkovsky from "The Naked Now" was labeled Copernicus? I do know that the registry was still a three-digit number, as opposed to the Tsiolkovsky's reg of 5XXXX, so I doubt that it was renamed in that ep.

Yes, the remastered and processed the film, cleaning up each channel individually and removing lots of grain, they almost look like they were filmed digitally now. Looks amazing.

Because the effects weren't rendered in HD. Although I wonder if the scene files still exist, then they could just rerender everything at the higher resolution? They might not have the compositing files, so they'd have to do all that work again, but it'd be worth it. I for one don't really want to buy TMP on Blu-ray unless it's the Director's cut.

Gah! I mean it wasn't so long ago - you'd think they'd realise HD was coming out.
