Star Trek Remastered "By Any Other Name" FX-Reel

[Phase171]

I like how you've kept Chekov's "We... made it..."

1) Newtonian physics does still apply at sublight speeds, and it looks just fine.

2) At warp speeds, the physics are specifically non-Newtonian.

3) CG CAN match (and surpass) the realism of anything done with models, if the CG artist knows how to do it well.

4) If you had never known of TOS, and someone presented this to you for the first time and told you it was filmed in the 60s with models, you would have bought it without question. But you know it's CG and that's affecting your judgment.

@dtstrain no...its just that the CGI is done poory and looks like crap.

[neonknights]

The ship moves like some crappy balloon and not like a real starship. It all looks like a bad cartoon. Remastered effects are crap.

[partymanDaniel]

pooey, boo hoo they rushed the effects like an old IMB cumputer game. replacing the opera singer is unexceptable.

[ltflak]

I dislike how the ship seems to move by magic, no longer following the laws of Sir Issac Newton

[scotpens]

I'm not sure that Newtonian mechanics apply in space, where gravity is absent -- especially at hyperlight speeds.

However, the old physical miniatures -- and the limitations of how they could be made to "move" by tracking, panning and tilting the camera -- did give an impression of mass and inertia that new CGI images can't match. A lot of today's computer-generated stuff looks fake because huge objects move around and change direction too damn fast.

@ltflak On the Blu_Ray you have the option of watching the original visual effects.

[StupidVideoKing]

those were some really nice affects...some of the remastered episodes how terrible updates...its good to see this kinda improvement!

[loup1966]

AWESOME!!! These guys did a phenomenal job. Every new shot of the Enterprise is like a love letter to the fans.

[henkman00]

but it is lucky that this time the barrier doesn't turn anyone into 'gods'

[Xindi1985]

VERY lucky!

[Chromoite]

Yeah, how come no one became a god here?? When they last entered the barrier at the edge of the galaxy, two crew members became gods. It would've been wild to see one of the Andromedans become a god!

[andrewt1on1]

Wow, you guys must have good memories if you can remember that episode! "Where No Man Has Gone Before"...right? There must be some real die-hard, fanatical Trekkies writing comments on this page lol

[commandox20]

The Kelvans made changes to the ship to protect from that.
