Don’t you mean Credits to Navy beans? ;) Glad you guys are getting your sets.

This discussion of the La La Land 3 disc Star Trek The Motion Picture score has me thinking. And I realize it’s a topic better suited for the Star Trek music thread. I own it too and I’m listening to it now! I’m listening on the hi-fi rather then from Apple HomePods. It’s a great sounding disc...

Thanks Colin for your thoughts. Great you were able to get this set, I gather you’ll write a review on your website?

Hey Josh, I was wondering by the way since you’re in New York, if the flooding affected you. Sounds like it wasn’t a problem for you. Hopefully not for any members here. The images in the news was amazing. Anyway, sorry for that diversion. I can try to understand what it’s like to try to...

Skylar, I mostly agree. It’s not like it’s a reflection such as in the Raiders of the Lost Ark snake pit sequence. That guy could just be another of those Starfleet guys gawking at Admiral Kirk. :)

Bill Hunt’s review is up, I’ll be reading it shortly.

I just looked at Bill Hunt’s Twitter page. I don’t have a Twitter account so I was surprised I could see content. Looks like Bill is a few hours away from posting his review. Must be tough as he‘s watching all the movies. I’d like to slowly enjoy these rather then rush through each title and do...

Darin, that pre-credit shot you showed above looks familiar to me. I’ve not seen Star Trek 4 for some time. It would be neat if it’s on the new discs.

By the way, I’ve always been curious about what appears to be one little goof in Star Trek TMP. Have you guys noticed something wrong in this shot that I’m posting below? It appears to be still there in the iTunes version, so my guess is it’s going to be on the new transfers for the new blu ray...

Josh, i’ll have to see if I can find those interviews you reference to about that shot not coming out right. And how it was fixed later. Its funny how the mind works as I’ve seen this film theatrically a few times, in a drive-in, on video tape, two laserdiscs versions, Pan and scan and...

Thanks Josh. I saw the film in theaters in 1979. Of course it’s been some time, so I don’t remember how that shot looked. Though I have a strong memory of the shot looking up at the saucer as it moves out and looking at all those panels! I don’t understand what it is meant that the shot did not...

Hey Neil, looking forward to your review. I’m researching my first 4K display since this set is finally coming out! One area I’m very concerned about is what I saw on the new iTunes copy of Star Trek The Motion Picture. This is the main film I really wanted to see of the 6 films. ( I know, only...

Right DaveH! That’s why I’m waiting till the discs are out and then I’ll really sit and watch the entire film. The only part that looked disappointing was the one shot I mentioned above as the Enterprise leaves space dock and it looks really soft. But I’m glad to hear Bill Hunt on the Digital...

Osato, I didn’t watch the Klingon bridge sequenced, I’m waiting for the disc. But I did see Spock arrive on the bridge and I did not notice the sound. I was more focused on the image. :)

I just read The Digital Bits quick review of the iTunes Star Trek The Motion Picture and of the scenes I did sample, I see Bill Hunt saw the exact same things I saw and has the same reaction. I’m glad he said the shot of the Enterprise looking so soft as it leaves space dock will likely be fixed...

As I said in the other thread, I did not know the iTunes version of TMP was updated with the new 4K transfer. Assuming the regular HD version is using the new transfer too, I couldn’t help myself and wanted to take a quick preview of the new master. Though I want to wait for the blu ray before I...

In regards to the 70mm screenings of Star Trek The Motion Picture, my memory is faulty, i for some reason was thinking I saw it in 70mm. The theater I saw it at was a mid century modern facility at the time. I thought it did have 70mm. I’m doing a quick search, I found an ad for the film that...

I hate to keep piling on, but as been stated, you had to be there to see Star Trek The Motion Picture for the very first time. After a decade of only seeing Star Trek in syndication, this was truly the very first time we see a new Enterprise and on the large screen. I remember thinking back then...

I saw Star Wars on the 70mm screen too! :emoji_blush: Yes, a slip of the tongue.

To paraphrase from I, Mudd, the Enterprise is a beautiful lady, and we love her! My take on the Enterprise fly-over was that it is the next character re-introduction scene. Like that for Spock and McCoy, the Enterprise is as much an integral character. That scene was like a love letter to the...

As each original cast Star Trek movie came out, it was the shiny new toy at the time. And over time, my perspective changed more and more and Star Trek The Motion Picture still stands higher above the rest. Without it, there would be no Star Trek franchise like we have today. It is the only...

If I recall correctly, the restoration team have to initially use the SD footage for one episode, Sins of the Father in an early TNG sampler blu ray release called The Next Level, it was a promotional release to tease the fans of the upcoming season sets. They later did find that piece of film...

That certainly ends the film is a much different vibe! Maybe the remastered version will include this on an alternate audio track.

Ron, as a serious life long Star Trek fan, I am happy that Paramount finally green lit the remastering of the films. I’d prefer they offered all 6 in one box set. But I’m throw my money at them and pick up the 4 film set and later the Directors Edition and the remaining Star Trek 5 and 6 when...

Joshua, JoshEH, from what I know of Robert Wise involvement on the Directors Edition of Star Trek The Motion Picture, is that he did not instigate that project. As far as he was concerned, the film had a set due date of December 7th and he had to meet that date. And all the teams involved were...
