But for those of us who had seen TOS episodes many, many times, it was the rehash of the Nomad story that really bit. After so long with no new Star Trek, we were waiting to be wowed with a new story and not just with spectacle.

I do sometimes though look at my risk-taking parent’s life with a certain envy. They ended up doing some truly unexpected things, historic even. I’m still finding bits and pieces of their work as stuff gets added to various internet archives every year. I hope I didn’t sound unkind or unsympathetic speaking about my parent’s experience. I’ve been going through a period of reflection on their career as I move on in my own. Discovery is one of the most watched shows on Paramount+ this is a proven fact(and it was one of the most watched shows on Netflix when it was available on that platform) it has millions of viewers worldwide. I think a lot of it has to do with cinematographers not wanting stuff to look that sharp, given how clinical today’s lenses can come off when shooting digital. Trouble is that they sometimes wind up going the other way too far and you get mush. By comparison, I only own maybe a dozen films and series on digital, mainly because I was having trouble finding them cheap and used on disk or they just plain weren’t available on disk, but I hate having to rely on that virtual streaming approach, given that somebody could just decide to alter the content at some point.Overall, "Star Trek: Strange New Worlds" is an excellent addition to the Star Trek franchise, delivering exciting action, thought-provoking ideas, and emotionally charged character development. It's a must-watch for any Star Trek fan and a great starting point for those new to the franchise. I’m not saying it can’t work, just that you are making a sacrifice. Roger Deakins shot SKYFALL on Alexa even though he knew there’d be a 4K finish. But that’s Deakins. He also told me he refused to use the Imax codec for that particlar release version, so there’s something to be said for individual taste over a massmind solution. As I recall, kmart part of a significant cinematic magazine, that like many, didn’t survive impact of the internet on advertising and subscriptions.

WORLD BUILDING — Led by Production Designer Jonathan Lee and his team, the season’s production design utilized cutting-edge technology to create worlds prior to shoots, allowing the actors to fully immerse themselves into scenes rather than imagine the worlds around them in a green room. Through interviews with producers, cast and crew, fans will learn about the expertise involved in the development process and how the powerful technology was seamlessly integrated into the show. That’s why we see so many recent 4k releases of classic 70’s and 80’s films not looking so impressive with scans at that resolution. Deleted Scenes– The second disc just gives us some more deleted scenes from episodes “Lift Us Where Suffering Cannot Reach” and “The Elysian Kingdom” I wish I could use a new TV as a writing business office expense, but there’s no way to really explain why a good sized set would never fit in what passes for my office (actually the tiny dining room in a small 1br apt.) I really never figured out how to game the system for tax writeoffs, my business expenses are always very tiny (never into four figures except in a decade when I buy a new computer), mostly just books and movies that are useful references and research tools.Ghosts of Illyria – The Enterprise encounters a contagion that ravages the ship; one by one, the entire crew is incapacitated except for Number One, Una Chin-Riley, who must now confront a secret she’s been hiding as she races to find a cure. I actually found your previous comment and this one to be very well-written and insightful; I find it is often a yin/yang thing when it comes to evaluating the choices made by signficant others in our lives, so your perception regarding your family rings oh-so-true to me. All Those Who Wonder – Pike and crew come face-to-face with their demons, and scary monsters too, when their landing party is stranded on a barren planet with a ravenous enemy. Compared to a regular high-definition presentation on Paramount+, the Blu-ray release of Strange New Worlds is going to be your best way to get the best visual experience watching the series, from the exploratory opening title sequence to the many space adventures Captain Pike’s crew experienced over the ten-episode season.

Gag Reel (3 mins) – Classic bits of prop malfunctions, doors that don’t open on cue, line flubs, and general fun from the long hours shooting the first season. Final thoughts Using Google, I wasn’t able to find anything except something about Digital copies. Nothing concerning the physical disks not playing. Star Trek: Strange New Worlds - Season 1 4K Blu-ray delivers stunning video and audio in this exceptional Blu-ray release Strange New Worlds had about as positive a reception for a new Star Trek series as there’s ever been. Being episodic helps the causal rewatch value, so it makes plenty of sense to own the season on disc. As usual, we recommend it for completists or anyone who wants an offline copy of the show; this includes those who cannot or do not want to stream the show and folks who have concerns about the fleeting rights to streaming media.While I completely agree kmart with your view stated elsewhere that great moments and performances can’t save a plot that doesn’t land, I also feel that tentpole movies should offer something fresh.

I find it’s difficult to see it as a tenable economic model. It seems to have been built into audiovisual entertainment and broadcasting from go through. The market power of the major firms seems to enable perpetual free riding off individuals. Number One, Pike, and Ensign Lance go through the colony, Lance starts to rant about how Illyrians are engineered and liken them to The Augments on Earth, and says the Illyrians deserved what they got, he assumed they wiping themselves out by over-engineering. His prejudice about anyone that would use genetic engineering becomes clear, and Pike calls him on it. As usual Denny C, I agree with you. Again, I think Star Trek is doing well on P+, but I don’t think any of the shows are doing massive business either. Enough to keep making more but sadly I don’t think any of them would survive on a network more than a season or two, not for what they cost anyway.
