Special Effects Lessons From JJ Abrams' Star Trek

Posted by timothy on from the know-where-the-release-valves-are dept.

    I still have a copy of the original VHS releases that I toss in every once and awhile. I suppose I should convert them to DVD, but never felt the need. I've considered downloading the Laserdisc versions but haven't yet.
