Not perfect, certainly--but a VAST improvement over the original's effects--especially during the "timewarp" at the end. The original had goofy shots of the Enterprise sitting still, and wiggling. The remastering actually SHOWS the timewarp.

@eagle219406 The ship was also never designed to enter the atmosphere and would also have a difficult time aerodynamically.

So MeTV showed the remastered episodes.

The Enterprise inside the atmosphere always through me a bit, I mean it didn't have anti gravity , and the Bussard collectors are meant to collect interstellar gases, and warp would have torn the atmosphere from the planet.

@mavericstud1 You'd do wonderfully during a public, poitical debate!

@TerminalViscosity good point about figuring out the green flash.these new fx don;t in and of themselves add to the story but they don't distract you from the story the way the (sorry to say it) cheesy fx of the 60's.so in a manner of speaking they do enhance the story. i don't think they look any worse than the cg in,let's say, avatar(which is very weak,storywise).

My theory is that the Enterprise ran into the black hole that was created when Nero went back in time and destroyed the Kelvin. :-)
Or perhaps they forgot about the black hole that was created when Spock crashed the red matter-carrying "Jellyfish" into the Narada. D'oh!

this cool and sexy if only we could have a version with the new NCC-1701
You forget one thing. It had just used up a lot of power trying to escape a black hole, that was what brought them to the 1960s. Plus they were inside Earth's atmosphere fighting gravity. It makes sense that it would shake a bit.

I liked some of the remastered effects but thought the depth of the Enterprise was less than the original...they should have used the 11 foot model in the Smithsonion to give the ship a less animated look.
