I've bought all seven of the previous Star Trek Special Editions, and I'm looking forward to First Contact, so there's really no way I can avoid buying Insurrection. I don't really hate Insurrection, it just wasn't that exciting. Nemesis was the same, although if they release a 2-Discer, I'd buy that too. I'd really like to have that extended version though, I'd buy that one ever faster.

I'll get INSURRECTION and NEMESIS just to complete my set. Luckily I never bought the Star Trek movies until these newer releases have come out.

double dip for me

I dumped my STTNG Movie Set back in July so this can't come soon enough :)

Originally posted by buckee1 Ok, I'll bite, what's wrong with the Generations SE video transfer? |
I did notice Data's face but nothing else. What I did see though wasn't terribly distracting.
|
This would be a great disc to include a tribute to Jerry Goldsmith.

I would love to see the "alternate" ending edited back in to Nemesis. I thought it was a much better ending than what was used in the theatrical version.
I'd buy the CE for Nemesis if they did that (and added other previously cut footage), but it it's the same theatrical version I won't even consider it. |
I am definitely getting this CE. :thumbsup: I have been holding off on upgrading since Paramount started with the CE's, because I have a widescreen VHS of First Contact which is still in decent shape (just watched it last week). It will be nice to have the superior picture quality and all the extra goodies.
I'll also get Insurrection when it comes out...I am among those who enjoyed that film. Even if it was a glorified episode, it had one of the strongest social messages of any Trek film. For me it reminded me of one of America's past sins, the forced relocation of the Cherokee Indians during the 19th century. |
About time.
FC's my favorite TNG film and I can't wait to get it. Here's for DTS, Borg designs, and some other fun s**t! Also, I didn't buy Nemesis just in case of a new version, so here's hoping. |
Sorry to bring back an old thread, but some of you might be interested to know that dvdanswers.com has posted the artwork: http://www.dvdanswers.com/index.php?...5397&n=1&burl=

original First Contact Audio Issue
I'm watching First Contact from a rental and noticed that the Audio is one of those that have the effects and music pumped up , and speech way too low.....I hate when I have to lower the sound everytime there's 'action' .....I hope the reissue Collector's Edition fixes the audio. ANybody else notice this when watching ST First Contact?
|
Maybe it's just your reciever's equalizer?
|
tried everything
I tried listening to the movie in every which way and the music and effects are still 'loud' ....i mean i have over 120 DVDs and probably have 3 DVDs with loud Muisc 'n' Effects and low speech......so yea.....the other movies i got ...i have nothing to quibble about their audio....I'm just a guy who doesn't like to press down on my volume during action scenes...then up again to hear the actors.
|
Well, I haven't watched my DVD in a while, but I don't remember there being this problem.

Complete specs from dvdanswers:
Paramount has announced the collector's edition of Star Trek: First Contact which stars Patrick Stewart, Jonathan Frakes, Brent Spiner and LeVar Burton. This new two-disc special edition will be available to own from the 15th March next year, and should set you back around $19.99 in total. As well as a 2.35:1 anamorphic widescreen transfer and English Dolby Digital 5.1 track, the first disc will house an audio commentary with director Jonathan Frakes and screenwriters Brannon Braga and Ronald D. Moore and a text commentary by Michael and Denise Okuda. The second disc will include a Jerry Goldsmith: A Tribute featurette, a Legacy of Zefram Cochrane featurette, a First Contact: The Possibilities featurette, a Unimatrix One featurette, a featurette on the Borg Queen and a Design Matrix featurette. Also included will be a First Contact Production section that includes featurettes on The Story, The Misile Silo, The Deflector Dish, The Art of First Contact, another feature on the designs of the Enterprise as well as a making of documentary. Completing the package will be a Scene Deconstruction which features the Borg Queen Assembly, the Escape Pod launch and the Borg Queen's demise, storyboards, a production gallery and both the theatrical trailer and teaser trailer. The only notable exception is deleted scenes. Our thanks to Gustavo from TrekWeb for the heads up. We're also awaiting confirmation on the inclusion of DTS. |
Bummer about the lack of DTS...
|
He didn't say there was no DTS....he said they we're "awaiting confirmation" if you read the last sentence.
|
well, it's not in the specs at dvdanswers...I certainly hope they include a DTS track..
|
Great news that Jonathan will be doing an audio commentary...this was one of the "must have" areas of the DVD - nice to see Paramount make it happen.
|
Too bad about the lack of deleted scenes. Why is it that the only Trek DVDs to include those so far are 1, 5, 7, and 10, arguably the worst ones in the series? At this rate, the Insurrection SE seems like a shoo-in for deleted scenes.
And no, I don't count the director's cuts of Wrath of Khan or The Undiscovered Country. |
Deleted scenes are over-rated IMO. Unless they're put back into the film itself. I feel they're over-rated for two reasons. 1) Usually they're not in anamorphic widescreen, and 2) Sometimes they're just rough-cut dailies.
If the scenes are important enough and don't interupt the flow of the story, aren't redundant, and are complete scenes (f/x completed), they should be put back in film, especially for the DVD. A lot of scenes are just cut due to theatrical time restraints or studio decisions. But for the DVD release, like they did with the recent King Arthur DVD, because those restraints aren't there. And then there's always the branching DVD. Like the ID4, T2 Ultimate, and the Alien Quad discs. Pick whichever version you want. |

Now, in truth most DVD deleted scenes suck. Comedies in general have the best deleted scenes, but there are some films that have nice snippets that are neat to see, but really have no place in the film. |
The Digital Bits posted confirmation of DTS!!!
"...we've confirmed that the video will be anamorphic widescreen and that the audio options will include both English Dolby Digital 5.1 and DTS 5.1." |
hoooooray!!!!
|
w00t w00t!
|
Damn, not including deleted scenes bites. Thanks Paramount. :( I've always wanted to see the rumored-to-have-been-filmed scene of Captain Sisko ordering Worf to take the Defiant into battle against the Borg.
|
I'll take the DTS over the deleted scenes. I wish they'd hurry up and release it though; I don't want to wait until March.
