At the bottom of the page, there is a form to ask the developers of the DVDs questions about the release. This rerelease is totally revamped, with a new sound mix, better effects, and a better feeling of continuity.

  1. just one question ... by Frizzled · · Score: 3, Interesting

    did they "re-master" the part where spock is out, flying around in a spacesuit?

    the first film really did set a tone for the rest of the series (saving the planet, one episode at a time) ... but that scene still gives me chills.

  2. Boycott! by Trollificus · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Aren't we supposed to be boycotting anything that has to do with DVD? Ohhh, I forgot. That doesn't apply to Anime and geek movies. Silly me.

    Alien54 said:"To tell the truth, it would have been better to have a revisit from Harry Mudd, or something"

    Harry Mudd was supposed to make an appearence on TNG, way back in the day. The idea was that the Enterprise D would come across this guy who was sitting in hypersleep (or whatever they'd call it on Trek) and when they woke him up, the scene would go something like this:

    MUDD:"Where am I?"
    DR.CRUSHER: "You're on the starship Enterprise."
    MUDD(incredulously):"Oh, great!"

    Cool idea, right? It never got made, because the actor who played Mudd died. So we got the *ahem* "Outrageous Okona" instead.

    Just your daily dose of useless Star Trek trivia. (I hear that there's a market for that stuff)

    I hope not. STTMP is the only movie where they looked cool and only appeared during acceleration. All of the other silly ST movies show them any time the ship is in warp and as it goes by it makes a silly "whoosh" sound.
