If those shots are representative of the actual blu ray then it is indeed a huge fail on the part of the studio.  Looks like they took the DVD from 1999 upscaled it and applied dvnr even if we know it was probably from a 1080i low res in 1999 scan.

The dvd was barely passable and showed not much more definition than the laserdisc.  Apparently a transfer that would have been a good enough transfer for laserdisc was dumped to blu ray,lol.

Hey at least it is not like they pressed a 4:3 letterbox blu ray with black borders on all sides.

 

the only home release i know of even close to the theater was the pre credit sequence super8mm version.  For some reason they could not get either dvd right, the HDTV right or the blu ray right.  And they just pushed these out the door to meet the release date of skyfall just like paramount did to meet the last star trek film with their lackluster BD releases.
