Star trek: The next generation 25 anniversary

Damn that was 25 years ago? wow time does fly.

Ummm...

Didn't TNG premiere in 1987?

Yep. So, 25 years is 2012. Damn. I'm gettin' old...

They did a test-run of remastering four episodes (if you count Farpoint as two) by going back to the original film elements, transferring them in HD, and reassembling the shows from scratch with redone effects. I imagine/hope they're using as much of the 35mm film model work as possible rather than replacing it all with CG.

There has been great debate over whether it would be appropriate to do this 16x9 or retain it as 4x3 as it was originally composed and shot. We'll know soon...

Dear God! It's been THAT long?! I still miss not being able to see any new episodes each week. Someday, maybe.

LaVar Burton seems to think it's looking good! http://www.escapistmagazine.com/news...er-for-Blu-Ray
Another site said they may release a preview soon!!!

That's what I said when I saw this thread. It sure when fast. My parents were into it more than I was but I did enjoy the later episodes and the series finale was my favorite.

Can't wait!!! I hope to be able to download some eps for my Ipad to watch during my lunch breaks.

I've been thinking about this since Late July when I started running TNG Episodes for my girlfriend.

Man has time gone by.......

Star Trek The Next Generation Blu-rays Launch in 2012
Little preview

There was a while there where the style of the show still looked current to me, but I went back and started rewatching it on Netflix and....yeah....it's VERY 90s. I never thought the 90s would end up having a distinct "look" to them as far as TV shows went, but between that and rewatching, oh, Tekwar, yeah, they REALLY do.

Oh Yeah I cringe at some of the Episodes but hey they were a product of their time

Thankfully one ace in the hole for Netflix is that you can stream everything but DS9! Happy Trekking!




LOL

Great news. Can't say I will bother buying the sample disc when the seasons are coming out shortly after. I'm not in that much of a hurry.

Twenty. Five. Years?! Oh god I'm so depressed now.

Well 24 to be exact.

I remember wathcing it with my Kmart exclusive Icee cups and my Cheerios box with the poster offer and preview of the upcoming action figure line! I think the box came with some stickers inside, I still have all these items.

I sure do miss Trek

Anyone else remember these iconic video boxes:



Funny...25 years...I think that I still have one of these in a box somewhere too:

In 1993, just out of high school, I was working my second ever job as a clerk at a video store. Great place, great friends, lots and lots of fun there. A few of us were ST:TNG fans, and we'd take home these video tapes to watch. Then one day...no more. And the owner didn't want to buy any more. So basically I got one season, totally hooked, then...cold turkey. Those of us who had been checking them out were so bummed!

*headdesk* ****, I feel old now....

TNG remastered on bluray?
"Make it so!"

Wow! I don't know how much of this is CGI, but the ship looks like the original film element

If anyone can spot what's CGI (and if so how accurate it is) and what's HD film transfer it's the RPF. I'll be watching this thread for the asccuracy experts to chime in
I suppose if the did CGI the Ent-D it opens up the whole 6ft vs 4ft model can 'o worms.

Comparing the above shot to an original episode, the ship details are identical. Even the people moving in the windows look exactly the same, just more clear. The stars are different, it looks like they scanned the original film of the ship and added a new background.
