I though the problems with some blu ray releases were 2 things.

1. Dumping Old HD transfers to blu ray disc instead of using the state of the art current technology and doing new transfers

2.  Digital Noise Reduction or DVNR.

 

These can be either deal breakers or not.  What if the blu rays are better than the dvd's but still not up to blu ray par like the star trek 1-6 set.  Where Trek II still has dnr to it only on a much more restrained basis so it is the only transfer that is really blu ray qualty.

Still worth it for the steal of a price amazon in the usa is offering it for though.

Either you buy , or wait for the so called double dip release that is fixed that may never come.

 

I don't have a blu ray player and an HDTV but if i did and bought the trek set i would feel like i was saying to paramount. 

"Hey here's my money i know you did a shitty job but you can have my money anyway. Does not matter that this set was planned for more than 3 years, or that you guys threw 200 million dollars at jj for that new movie. "

What would a  restoration frame by frame from the oneg cost them, millions?

The fact that they rushed them out just to meet the deadline of the new movies release does not sit well with me.  I know its a business decision, i still think it was a lame thing to do.

What i Lol'ed at was that people think these are better now that they have had harsh digital scrubbing done to them.  Movies should not have grain.  Grain is dirt on the image and a defect, type of people.
