Apparently no featurette or other info on the battle sequence or the new starships.

I hear the Animated Series is also up for release, for those who care. (Though I think that may have been mentioned earlier, in this thread or another.)

Well....that sucks.
Is there anything added to the film?

Um, you mean added to the film itself? Because I don't think so. (Nor can I think of anything I'd particularly like to see put in it. But I'm a little bitter about that one extended shot in Wrath of Khan that featured a longer take at the expense of a better one. ((Specifically, Carol Marcus rallying her troops; I feel the delivery in the new version is a little flat compared to the original.)))
But if you mean, like, extra doodads and gimgaws elsewhere on the DVD, then sure. Whether they're of any interest or not I can't say. (I've liked the Okudan commentaries so far, at least.)

I was actually hoping for some added footage being brought back in (or at least on the disk). No movie is ever without scenes that get edited out, after all and if there's a movie where I'd dearly love to see more of, it's First Contact.
I was also hoping for some behind the scenes stuff on the new ship designs and mabye an interview with the elusive Alex Jaeger.
I skipped the TWOK SE after I was hosed into buying the "no-fucking-nothing-extra" DVD.
Besides, I'd seen the damn movie (with extras added back in) on TV, video and cable at least twenty times.

I've found most deleted scenes were deleted for good reasons.
(Star Trek II is one of the top five best sf movies of the 1980s, and everyone needs to own it or face some sort of weak nerd scorn.)

I actually don't have a real list. You have caught me.
But give me some time to go through the IMDB. I guess what I have in mind are the other big commercial films of the era. Like, I think Khan is as well made as Aliens.

Hmmmm...probably. Plenty of goofiness in both movies though. At least Kahn's ship was not a giant rifle.

Dune goes on the opposite end of the list. Or at least my list. Both Dune and Lynch are better when left to their own devices.
OK, the scene with the Guild Navigator was good.
I haven't seen 2010. Or, like, I've seen about twenty minutes of it. But, if it makes you feel better, I haven't seen any more of 2001.
