My Review Of Star Trek Nemesis: CE
Well , I just got my Star Trek Nemesis CE a few hours ago and i'm pretty impressed. i checked out most of the features and the movie and sound. Here's My Review:
PACKAGING :
First Of All i think that the packaging here isn't that great. The discs overlape each other, and it still pisses me off that Paramount isn't including inserts in their SCE Star Trek DVD's. Anyway , I switched my Star Trek Generations CE Case with the Nemesis Packaging and now I have Generations in the overlape case and Nemesis in the original CE packaging.
DISC ONE -
Menus : The disc menu opens up with a shot of the enterprise flying past Remus, and then zooms to the Remus mines and we get are selections of PLAY MOVIE , SCENE SELECTION , SET UP , AND COMMENTARIES. Pretty sharp menus.
Picture : The 2.35:1 Widescreen transfer on this release is the same as the 1-disc picture. But , it still looks great.
Sound : The Dolby Digital 5.1 is the same as the 1-disc release. But , the welcome addition of DTS is supurb. The best part is the space battle. TURN IT UP LOUD!
Commentaries : Have'nt Listened To Them Yet
DISC TWO :
Menus : We see a shot of the enterprise and the scimatar as the menu zooms to the planet Romulas. The menu then pops up to the outside of romulan senate buliding, as we get our selections. Better than Disc One.
The New Deleted Scenes : Well first off , the deleted scenes from the 1-disc version are included on the CE. Okay, to the new stuff. The picture quality on the new scenes aren't very good, but it will do. The content in the scenes are very brief. There is two deleted scenes however that is a welcome addition to the set. "Wesley's New Mission" , and "Data and B-4". They both would have been great if they were re-edited back into the film.
Behind The Scenes Featurettes : All of the Featurettes on the previous release on the CE. I haven't got a chance to look at the new ones yet.
Trailers : Well, one good addition to the CE is the teaser and theatrical trailer for the film. They were not on the 1-disc edition , and that made me kinda mad. I think every movie should have their trailers on there DVD's. So , the trailers are presented in non-anamorphic widescreen and in Dolby Digital 5.1.
I WILL BE BACK LATER WITH MORE INFO ON THE FEATURES

Where can you pick up a single double alpha case so that none are in those wretched Scanavo overlapping pieces of shit? Thanks Paramount for doing this to the last movie release. I know they did it on a small amount of other recent ST SE releases but it looks like all of them this time.

I always read about people that actually break their discs trying to get them out of over-tight hubs, but always thought they were being careless and impatient. Well, I almost joined their ranks on this one...it was like Disc One was fused to the hub. I've heard even bending a disc, not breaking it, can cause playback problems, so I hope that doesn't end up being the case since it was quite a chore to release the disc...

My fave is inetdvd.com -- many different flavors of case available.

Just Watched "NEMESIS REVISITED" Featurette, Which Is New To The CE. It is much better than the other featurettes that were on the first DVD. I Will Be Back With More Featurette Review Soon.

Does anyone have a bit rate comparison of the new 2 disc release of Nemesis compared to the first single disc release?
I'm trying to find any information I can comparing the video quality of the two releases, and if there's any reason the new two-disc set is better. I've read that it's the same transfer, with the same video.
