Ditto.
For some reason, this is always the first thing that springs to mind whenever I think of the worst blu-ray transfers. Maybe it’s because I’m just barely old enough to remember when my Mom took me to see it in the theater. She actually surprised me with a theater-used ST6 poster this past Christmas.
It’s the blu-ray equivalent of the GOUT for me.
The source master is apparently a 1080i they IVTC’d to 24p, as evidenced by the stair-stepping. My guess is that while they probably had a decent-looking 1080p of the director’s version (the fresh transfer done in 2004 for the collector’s dvd to replace the old non-anamorphic transfer), this 1080i from whenever/wherever was the best looking transfer of the theatrical cut they had lying around. So rather than spend the money on a fresh transfer they simply gave us this.
Voyage Home arguably looks the worst, like someone applied the watercolor filter and turned it up to eleven.
Hey, are we going to get a Director’s Cut of STVI with the inserted Chang, Nanklus, and Cartwright images, a computer doesn’t lie, or my personal log was used against me mods? I have a Star Trek VI DE sorta HD transfer 1280x648. Found a link to it in the cloud but cannot even remember where it was. IT looks like crap but it’s the closest I could get. I tried to make my own but could not even figure out how… I asked Nick Meyer via fanmail of a DE BR was in the works. NADA.
