Went online to borders on wed. night last week and was able to pick mine up at the local store with no problems. Brought mine into work and the boss went to the barnes and nobles nearby and got his too with no problem. Since then, no sighting anywhere else.

(I know a few stores pulled it around here)

I just wanted the commentary for this and at times it seems like the writters hated this movie and something they didn't even get.
They didn't seem to know for sure if Kirk was in the Nexas(sp?) for 80 years or just got there. They say in the movie he just got there, that there is no time in the Nexas (SP?)
Well, Whoopi does a voice over that says from Kirk's perspective it was as if he just got there...but that voice over seems like something they had her add in post production rather than part of the script. Probably added after screening audiences couldn't figure it out either!

when Rick Berman introduces the alternate ending, he tries to cover up the fact by saying at first that the decision to change the ending wasn't due to a test audience, but then immediately backtracked and said there was the test audience. by now, he could've gotten his excuse straight before the camera rolled. ha ha.

If only Berman would have realized that he would have had a better film if he hadn't killed Kirk at all! But that's what the series turned into - either kill off a character or blow up the ship (or in the case of Generations - do both!). Leonard Nimoy and Harve Bennett should have copyrighted Spock's death scene and when they blew up the Enterprise.

I noticed a lot of the on-line stores showing 9/28/04 as the release date now.

But not DVDsoon.com who has had mine on Pending since the original release date. Is there any official word?

It is interesting that in 3 of the 4 Next Generation films, the Enterprise is either actually destroyed (Generations) or Captain Picard activates (First Contact) or attempts to activate (Nemesis) the self-destruct system.

In contrast, the only one of the six Original Cast movies where the Enterprise is destroyed is Search For Spock. That's also the only one where the self-destruct system is used. Though granted, they crash their commandeered Klingon Bird of Prey in San Francisco Bay at the end of Voyage Home.

Where in the special features list on the back are the trailers listed? I just saw this at Wal-Mart for $14.44, and I didn't see the trailers anywhere on the back.

Click the coverart and you'll see it. http://www.laserdisken.dk/html/visva...84205611720241

Perhaps you bought the new version.

I didn't get it because I wasn't sure, but comparing to that link, it's the new ones. The lower right column now has a blank space where it says trailers in that picture there.

Okay, so I guess Generations is now officially out. Now when do we get First Contact?




No seriously, when?

Well, I finally got it today. It's now selling for $5 more than when I saw it (briefly) on the shelves back on Sept. 7th which kind of pissed me off.

I didn't know what edge enhancement was but I sure do now! Data's face in particular is a shimmery mess and all sorts of backround stuff is very "edgy" looking (the computer graphics on the Enterprise monitors, various rails and fences, the orbital paths of the planets in the Stellar Cartography room, etc.). I only have a 34" widescreen TV so I can't imagine what it's like on a giant projector.

Other than that though, the picture quality is very nice (the colours are great) and the DTS track is terrific. Great audio commentary too.

Question - which audio track is better? Generations' DTS or Nemesis Dolby 5.1?

I got mine yesterday at walmart for $14.44 as well...

question - mine didn't have an insert. Was I supposed to get one, or were they cheap and didn't print a liner??

Thanks.

Paramount doesn't put inserts in their DVDs anymore.

Man, that's lame! So, my ST IV has an insert, but the rest won't. (I skipped V). That's lame.

Thanks for the quick reply.

All of them up to Star Trek V had inserts, but after that they don't. It's a trend by the studios to move away from having inserts.

Interesting. So, am I the only one disappointed by this move?
