BS.

I bought the two-disc DVD and R2D2 is crystal clear.

You know how those blu-ray people are. Think they are special....

Talkahuano · 11-20-2009

I got it on iTunes, regular quality, so I could sync it to my iPod and have the glory that is Spock in my pocket.
Sure, the screen is tiny, but I'm ok with it because I love this move.

My friend got it on BluRay so we'll be watching it on his hi-def TV at some point next week.

Pylades · 11-20-2009

Watching it now. First DVD I bought in all of 2009 and probably the last DVD I'll ever buy before upgrading to BR some time next year. That whole "You are currently on Region 1 but this is a Region 2 DVD so you'll have to change and you can only change 4 more times afterwards" made me angry as fuck again. Hello, I just paid close to 30$ for the SINGLE DVD edition (a.k.a. vastly overpriced) and you're still giving me shit? Next time I'll just download it you fucking pricks.

Uh, what ?

Muad Dib · 11-20-2009

I bought the DVD at Target today for $15.99.

Just watched it, I did.

apostle83 · 11-21-2009

Last night, I bought my first Blu Ray. I don't have a player yet. I watched it at my cousin's house, as I helped them put together their theater room. It was glorious on the 106" screen (1080p projector).

I'm not sure, to be honest, if it was taking advantage of his 7.1 surround but it sounded fantastic anyways.

I am now looking to acquire a used blu ray player, as I am a cheap sonofa (word count cut due to pricing).

They are constantly dropping in price. I'd get a new one.

apostle83 · 11-21-2009

I think I can buy a used one for $40 locally.

I put out an ad offering $40 for one. I bet I have it before the end of the week.

Forbin · 11-21-2009

Got a player second-hand from a friend for $50, and he just donated a Blu-Ray of Stargate (the movie) as my officiial first disk. It does look quite awesome!

Paladin · 11-22-2009

You will all be one with the, er, Blu-Rayers.

On Black Friday, Wal-Mart will have one for $78.00.

apostle83 · 11-22-2009

Well then, that will make it easier to get cheap slightly used one!

"New" doesn't have the appeal to me it does to most people, because as soon as I use it, it's not new anymore.

Is it? If I can't find one, I'll buy one new, but I'm gonna try to get a good used one first.

Uncle Albert · 11-23-2009

Watched the DVD over the weekend.

Was struck once again on how horribly unnecessary it was to change the ship so much. Caught myself thinking about how an unmolested Connie woulda looked in some of those beautiful scenes.

Talkahuano · 11-23-2009

Hmm, upon watching it yet again, the only problem I have with the movie is the excessive comedy. Of course, if they're to reboot the franchise and give it any chance of continuing, they had to add in a lot of humor. Otherwise, the characters are pretty much right, and there is potential (especially with Spock and Bones) to do some deep character development in later movies (which I really, really hope they do).

Forbin · 11-23-2009

Engineering is a fucking brewery.
With a water slide.

Robotech Master · 11-23-2009

Scotty's little sidekick dude is still a big 'WTF?' moment for me. What was the point of that? So random.

Muad Dib · 11-23-2009

I would have preferred that Kirk had not been so flip during the Kobayashi Maru scenario. I'd like to have seen him going by the book when he computer suddenly glitches and he wins. OldKirk was a maverick, but he was a professional.

Forbin · 11-24-2009

^Indeed.

Talkahuano · 11-24-2009

Unfortunately, NuKirk had a very different, and very unstructured childhood. He became a repeat offender, which OldKirk was definitely *not*.

Uncle Albert · 11-24-2009

I'm not sure you can judge his younger self by what we had previously seen of Kirk, anyway. Sure, he had mellowed into a bit more decorum and professionalism by the time he was in his 30s in TOS, but we never saw him in the academy, and it's not entirely implausible that he'd be a little rougher around the edges with his arrogance and manners.

NAHTMMM · 11-24-2009

Surely not quite that

You know what, that wasn't even "rougher around the edges". That was an entirely different set of "arrogance and manners". And it may have worked movie-wise, but for me it was just a bit of eye-rolling.

The listing of a "font consultant" or whatever at the end of the credits tickled me, though.

It could have been Trek's "Jar Jar Binks" moment. Fortunately, it wasn't.

Yeah. Old Kirk was what- 33 or 34 when he became Captain, not 25. And Old Kirk came up the ranks, Louie, first officer (probably), then Captain. He wasn't like NuKirk who went from cadet to Captain before he cashed his first Starfleet paycheck.

Yep, so much for even the remotest semblance of believability.

I've thought about this a lot.

Kirk wanted to make it obvious that he was "cheating" because he was, in reality, protesting the Kobayahi Maru itself.

If he had beaten it, and it hadn't been obvious that he had changed the terms, his actions would have been indefensible.
