BOLDLY GOING on Sky HD this week..

Hi all just in case anyone isn't aware - Star Trek Movies 1 - 5 are in HD this week, the first movie has been on before but I don't believe the rest have, haven't watched these in years so may treat myself to a bit of Hi Def "KHHAANNN!!"

Cheers

Berth

A treat for all those who were in work when SKY screened the first 9 movies in HD over two days earlier in the year or hadn't upgraded their hard drive

I caught a little bit of 'Generations' on Sky HD last night, and I thought it looked like there was something wrong with the aspect ratio. Did anyone else notice this, or was I imagining it?

Re: BOLDLY GOING on Sky HD this week..

Well caught the last half of Khan last night.. picture was good but not likely to get your fake rubber ears in a flap..

Still had a wee tear in the eye when Kirk says

"Of all the souls I have encountered in my travels, his was the most . . . hhummann..."

Re: BOLDLY GOING on Sky HD this week..

Yeah the Trek franchise needs a Bond type level restoration if they ever intend to release them on Blu-ray and then supply broadcasters with the new masters.
It's quite annoying the money Paramount and now CBS are generating from Trek and we only have off the shelf transfers.
