Re: Star Trek I-VI & Star Trek TOS: Season One - May 2009

Hm, lots of grain and optical print artifacts? Sold!

Although seriously, since it's Paramount, I'm hoping that these films will be given the same top-shelf remasters as The Godfather Trilogy....

Not only were the SFX shots rendered in video, but all the editing and post-production was done in the video realm. Series' like these would have to be re-assembled from scratch.
