Is this off the DVD or BluRay release?

[Servjen]

The DVD.

To be annoyed by the length of the sequences is to miss the point entirely of the sequences, in relation to the story. The purpose of this sequence, as well that with the dry dock, is to instill a sense of wonderment in the audience. Just as Kubrick did in "2001" with the star gate sequence, and Spielberg in "Close Encounters" with the Devil's Tower sequence, so too did Wise and Goldsmith intend with this sequence to elicit an emotional response from the viewer...that of awe.

1:40 is the bit that always makes me go "Whoa thats big!" lol. This soundtracks gorgeous

Even if I'm satisfied with the Director's Edition on DVD and Fanfiltration's remake of the Special Longer TV-Edition from 1983, I still hope that the DE and the TV-Edition will be re-released on BluRay someday. (even if they need to rebuild the new FX from the DE from scratch)

@DarthYuYevon The bad-assery of V'Ger is amplified when one recalls that the original theatrical release specified the size of the V'Ger cloud as 82 AUs. Imagine seeing that drift into your solar system!

@TheJlook2000: i lied (sure i read somewhere that it was an airbrush animation) -as you might already know... the model was 68 feet (21 m) long (wiki)!!

V'Ger is really hard to fight on Star Trek Online. It's so massive too.

[roninredshade]

Ah yes, I remember when Star Trek was about exploring rather than zapping space zombies with purple space bazookas....

@phyfell001 ...I find the whole point of this film is lost on a lot of fans, many of whom just wonder why Kirk doesn't simply blast V'Ger out of the sky (somehow)...

[sibeliandrift]

@phyfell001 YES.
