WHY?

OK, so I realize that I am late on this but whatever...

I have been watching classic Star Trek lately on TV and honestly I thought I was hallucinating when any visual FXs came on screen. Was I crazy or were the original scenes replaced with CGI? Well, I'm not crazy but the dick heads who thought this was a good idea are. Didn't we learn anything from George Lucas? Not to mention, what a slap in the face to the amazing talents that created the original models and effects back in the 60s! Way to shit on a legacy!

Oh, and the original stuff still looks better!

    Behind you 100% on this one.

    Bought my girlfriend the original star trek (remastered) and we both hated what they'd done. It ruined it, you want to see the hammy original effects. The CG actually made us angry! There was no point in it at all.

    Managed to find all the unchanged DVD box sets on eBay, much better!

    i've been watching star trek on netflix again. unfortunately they only have the remastered versions, even tho i was never around to watch the original show without CGI. i agree with you tho, the originals shouldn't be tampered with, it's more authentic that way. it's sort of like colorizing a black and white, or dubbing a foreign film instead of subtitles; it just dumbs down the tone of the film (or show).

    it was a nice idea......I guess, but did it really need to be done. What next? Go back a replace all the old Godzilla movies with CGI monsters?

    Hi Powerman,

    On topic, I seriously don't understand what they did, with the remastered version, was the idea to make it look worse?, I mean when looking outside the windows, seeing stars and then remastered to see a black patch?...

    Off topic: I think your blog is great and would love to have it in my blog directory, that way my visitors will also visit Rockets and Robots.

    Let me know if you are interested.

    Cathy
