Star Trek Movies on HD ?
With today's release of S1 of TOS on HD and S2 marked with a March 08' release date, does anyone think we'll see the feature films in HD in 08'?
I watched Generations today and can see how positively stunning these features will be once they are available on HD.

They should release the films on HD-DVD next year, one a month from February to November as build up for the new theatrical release in December!
(I know, wishful thinking, but damn, do I want me some HD Trek flicks!!)

That may not be too far fetched. Didn't they release the SE's in this kind of order (or similar fashion) lst year or so?

ST2 - 8/6/02
ST3 - 10/22/02
ST4 - 3/4/03
ST5 - 10/14/03
ST6 - 1/27/04
ST7 - 9/28/04
ST8 - 3/15/05
ST9 - 6/7/05
ST10 - 10/4/05
It took them just over three years to re-release all nine movies as 2-disc special editions.....the first film was only released once on 11/6/01 as a 2-disc SE to begin with...

Wow. i don't remember them taking quite so long to shoot those out. It does suck that they may stay true to form and do the same kind of piece-meal-ing with the HD versions. I guess my SD SE's will have to suffice until...

Though Paramount did have a phased rollout of special editions for trek, lets not forget that paramount was quick to release trek on DVD. The phased rollout however suffered from paramounts continued sabotage of trek, or disregard for fans, however you want to look at it. In anyevent the phased rollout suffered from a deteriorating quality with each release. By the time they got ST V, I had to wonder why anyone would bother upgrading. In fairness, ST 2 and 3 were decent upgrades.
At least they release something and for that i'm happy.... (glad i'm not a star wars fan)
I'll have to wait to see what they do in the foreign markets as I don't plan to support 2 formats. I've gone bluray.
I think a remastered HD of ST:TMP would be great, and the film is in desparate need Totally under rated IMHO.
