Trust me, Star Trek fans are. All the time.

Give me one example of a Star Trek fan complaining about a Star Trek movie having matte lines.

I don't think they moan about matte lines, but they are certainly crying out for the extended versions of the Trek films to be released on blu-ray.

I'm the guy crying out just for decent-looking transfers of the versions they did give us. When I heard it was only gonna be the theatrical cuts for the blu-ray debut I was actually thrilled.

Then I saw the screenshots.

Wrath of Khan looks great thanks to the restoration they gave it, but the other five are like the blu-ray equivalent of the GOUT for me.

That's the big problem when it comes to stuff like this: ignorance on the part of the consumer. They assume that because they're watching a blu-ray it looks perfect and exactly as it should. With new release titles they're almost always correct (although even that has exceptions. See: the blu-ray of the finished-on-film Transcendence), but with catalogue titles it's a very mixed bag. There was a long stretch of time when my attitude towards the quality of older films on blu-ray was "if it's not one thing it's another." In other words, it was rare that we got a catalog release that completely lived up to the potential of the format.

But the issues with most other big catalogue titles pale in comparison to the Trek movie bd's.
