The old 1960s STAR TREK series has gotten a digital space-facelift, with not only renewing the now-dingy colors on the series, but also remastering the series into HD format and inserting new effects. You may know this, and now here's a video that shows you what's been done, and some of the features in the Season One HD-DVD set. The video runs just under 9 minutes.
As fun as that 9 minute one is, I love the one below. I'm linking to it once more since it is funny and short: 1 minute.
I dunno, I have mixed feelings about redoing so much of the show.
ReplyDeleteI'm not a Trekker/Trekkie/Trucker, but I have a certain fondness for some of the cheesiness.
That being said, that stuff does look cool...
Yes, I saw the official trailer yesterday. Very funny indeed. :-)
ReplyDeleteOoops. Video removed on the 9 minute one already.
ReplyDeleteAll vids working OK as of now. Thanks for the heads up, Tom!
ReplyDeleteI remember one of the jokes back in 1984 was that the then new movie was titled STAR TREK III: THE SEARCH FOR MORE MONEY. And that's one of those "it's funny 'cause it's true" phrases.
I agree: it's not TREK. It doesn't look like TREK -- but maybe, just maybe, the story will be good. I hope so.
Then, I don't mind giving Paramount some more money ....
