The CG models look completely fake, too CG. In my opinion Star Trek didn't need this kind of "improvement' - the original models were great. There are many other things which needed to correct and I'm happy they DID correct it (usually hand-drawn phaser blasts). Also the image quality is terrible, but it is probably because I am watching them as DivX movies, of course the HD version will look better

You know, I was just looking at some comparison videos of the effects, and I have to say, some of the CG does look really bad. And they changed the angles of the shots from the angles used in the model shots, when the original setups actually looked a hell of a lot better than the CG shots. Jesus, people can take a good idea and fuck it up. Up to now, the limited number of updated effects I'd seen looked pretty good, compared to the old grainy exterior model shots, but...what I just saw kinda mellowed out my enthusiasm.
Hmm...maybe a choice wouldn't be such a bad idea?
Jaiman: You're say that all the series (TOS, TNG, DS9, Voyager and Enterprise) were shot on film? For some reason, I thought that a couple of the later series had been shot on videotape. But you're saying that the live action shots were caught on film, then transfered to tape along with the effects? I'd hope so, because TNG looks like ass.
Oh, and you were talking about the film clips from the dailies...are you saying that those actually looked pretty good?
