[QUOTE]Originally posted by MrNeutron: [QB] Okay, so I watched the film and the extras. Here's my quick rundown: [b]FILM.[/b] This is essentially the version we've seen for years, including the extra scenes not in the original theatrical release (Operation Retrieve, Spock, Scotty and Valeris in the torpedo bay, the revelation that the "Klingon" assassin is Colonet West). If you compare this film to the previous Trek SEs you'll notice the size of the letterbox bars is smaller. This is due to the format Meyer shot on, which is a slightly different aspect ratio to the other films. Meyer did do a few small edits, though. The ones I noticed are: 1. Added a wide shot of the officer's mess at the start of the scene where Scotty discovers the uniforms. 2. In the scene where Kirk asks Valeris for the names of the conspiritors, a few closeups of Kirk and McCoy replace wider shots in the previous edits. 3. During the mindmeld, each time a conspiritor's name is given, a flash cut of them appears with a slight music sting. That's all I noticed the first time through. [b]Commentary[/b] While better than most, it's not quite as good as the one on TWOK. It's more conversational between Meyer and writer Denny Martin Flynn. Not as much meat on the creative choices as on the TWOK commentary. [b]Extras[/b] Again, better than most, but never the stuff you want. --The Perils of Peacemaking mini documentary --Six little featurettes under the topic Movie Making. --Various odds and ends of moderate interest under the subject of The Star Trek Universe --A Farewell, including a tribute to the late De Kelly and interviews made with the cast at the time of the shooting --Promotional materials that consist of two trailers and a 1991 convention presentation by Nick Meyer --Archives containing a set of production still and some storyboards And a few comments on some of the above... --The tribute to DeForest Kelly was nice, pointing our just how much work he did before Star Trekt hat most fans are totally unaware of. --The Perils of Peacemaking -- in which the film's story is compared and contrasted with real world events -- was an interesting ideas, but I wish there'd been less about the film itself and more about the parallels. They could easily have included film clips to illustrate where a lot of the lines were borrowed from. --Penny's Toybox. A neat look into the archives to see some of the surviving props from the film. --Storyboards. What's with these effects guys who can't draw the Enterprise correctly? Fer Pete's sake, it's easy to draw (if you have any artistic ability)! [/QB][/QUOTE]
