4 out of 5 stars A very nice looking Blu-Ray from an old transfer   July 18, 2010

This is not a state of the art Blu-Ray. It uses the same transfer as the last standard definition DVD used. That being said, the movie still looks and sounds very, very good. Before the J.J. Abrams "Star Trek" movie came out, this was the only I really enjoyed. It wasn't a movie I was desperate to have, but the price Amazon is asked it's a great way to nudge your cart into Super Saver Shipping territory.


5 out of 5 stars Best Star Trek film ever made.   July 7, 2010

The Borg Queen (Alice Krige) is one sexy babe. I'm way jealous of Data for getting into her whatever with physical forms of pleasure.

This is my 1st Blue Ray movie. I didn't have the DVD version to compare with, but the video color and resolution are fabulous, and the audio is great. (Of course, I could be biased as a long-time fan.)


3 out of 5 stars Better than I Remembered   January 4, 2010

I am a Star Trek fan since the night the original series premiered on NBC. While I did watch it, I have always felt that Star Trek-The Next Generation was a bit overrated. I remember picking up a sci-fi magazine during the '80s or '90s (I forget which) which listed ST-TNG as the greatest sci- fi series of all time and ST-TOS at #12!!! Thankfully this magazine is no longer in business.
As for the Star Trek movies, the critics went bananas over this film. One actually said it was the best Star Trek film since "Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan." Better than "Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home" and "Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country?"I don't think so! (This is almost as silly as a film critic in a moment of temporary insanity who proclaimed "Never Say Never Again" as the best Bond film since "From Russia With Love.")
Anyway this film got near-unanimous great reviews and still grossed less than $100 million in the U.S.
I've always felt this film to be overrated. However I must admit to enjoying the blu-ray transfer I watched last night. The picture and sound quality are excellent. I just wish Paramount would stop using the same special features that are found on the deluxe dvds of these films.
As for the film itself, there are still many things I do not like about it. I cannot stand James Cromwell's performance as Zephrame Cochran, the inventor of Warp Drive. I find him to be an uncharismatic and unlikeable actor. (Cochran was portrayed by Glenn Corbett is a 2nd season Star Trek-TOS episode, "Metamorphosis." I'm not sure if he was still alive when this film was made, however he was a much better looking and likeable actor than Cromwell.) I'm also not a great fan of Patrick Stewart, in T-shirt, doing John McClane- like stunts at the end of this film.
I did enjoy the scenes with the Borg a bit more than previously (especially the scenes outside the Enterprise.) I'm still not a great fan of the Borg Queen however.
I still think the best Star Trek:TNG film is "Nemesis," which was surprisingly the biggest flop in the series. And while, as stated previously, I've never been a great fan of this film, I think I can now jump it over "Star Trek V: The Final Frontier" and "Star Trek Generations." (I still believe "Star Trek Insurrection," the film following this one to be the worst in the series.)
I do feel that poetic justice has taken place with the great success of the "Star Trek" film this summer, people continue talking about Kirk, Spock and McCoy and Captain Picard and the crew of Star Trek-TNG have basically been forgotten after only four films. As stated, Star Trek-TNG was a good series. However Star Trek: The Original Series was a classic.

A lot of upconverted DVD's look about the same as the Blu-Ray version, but not this one. I was amazed at the improved resolution.
