Those special features sound great. I was going to get this no matter what the features were, because I've got all the other SE Star Trek DVDs. But I'm glad the features are interesting. I can guess what the cover art will be, so now I'm just waiting until September anxiously.

Crow T. Robot · 06-18-2004, 09:49 PM

Cool i might pick this up, Since i liked the movie.

**aintnosin** · 06-18-2004, 09:53 PM

Saucer crash in DTS...

aedavela · 06-18-2004, 10:37 PM

Very cool, can't wait to grab it.

SharpShooter5 · 06-19-2004, 12:06 AM

sounds awesome, but i knew based on the first 6 special editions, that Paramount would deliver another great Trek DVD

"The Dude" · 06-19-2004, 12:28 AM

September can't get here fast enough.Star Trek in DTS,Dawn of the Dead,THX-1138 and Star Wars.

I'm sure there are other big releases that month,but I can't remember what else is coming out. Any one have a time machine?

Yes, but it only goes backward.

phpotato · 06-19-2004, 02:33 AM

Will they release the previous Special Editions in DTS?

Brikar99 · 06-19-2004, 05:28 AM

Maybe, maybe not, but this film had a rather... different... sound to it than other Trek films. The Laserdisc release, I think, had DTS...

Dave McFly · 06-19-2004, 11:03 AM

cool, now we just need first contact, insurrection, and nemesis on 2 disc SE dvds

phpotato · 06-19-2004, 12:06 PM

It is confirmed [Brannon Braga] that First Contact: Special Collector's Edition will be released next year.

theta · 06-19-2004, 03:47 PM

Generations, eh...
First Contact is what I'm psyched about. Considering that Paramount is putting a lot of love into these discs (even if you hate the movies, you have to admit the menus are freakin' awesome), I can't wait to see what they have lined up.

No. Paramount put out exactly one DTS LD: "Titanic".

SharpShooter5 · 06-19-2004, 06:08 PM

awesome coverart, but i hope Paramount still uses the "double keepcase" while i prefer the slimline 2 disc cases, i want all the star trek films to look the same, and seeing as the first six were released in the double keepcases i hope Paramount gives us the remaining 4 in the same style (even though the double case seems to be a thing of the past for most studios)

*Edit* i found this at DVDanswers, so i guess it confirms the set will be in a double keepcase

Flash Ahhh · 06-19-2004, 07:56 PM

Nice...

Hopefully the disk artwork won't be upside down and hopefully the keepcase won't be white. LOL.

the white case must have been an american thing, because up here in canada we got a black case

Sycho · 06-19-2004, 09:47 PM

Saucer crash in Dolby Digital 5.1...

Will they release the previous Special Editions in Dolby Digital 5.1?

Man I don't even like Star Trek, but gotta love the extremly high quality Dolby Digital 5.1

Brikar99 · 06-19-2004, 10:36 PM

The previous special editions are already in dolby 5.1. This is the first with a DTS track.

That's helpful. Just so you know, I see no benefit in your post. I'm just pointing out that your post is useless.

Oh sorry - that should be "just so you know, I see no benifit in yor post, I'm just pointing out that yor post is usless".

Riddick · 06-20-2004, 04:30 PM

Can't wait!

Trek is almost as good as sex

Brikar99 · 06-20-2004, 05:46 PM

Don't know if I'd go THAT far...

videoworx · 06-20-2004, 06:43 PM

well, most trekkies have never had sex (with other people), so it's more of an assumption...

Sycho, Sjarret. Neither of your comments are neccessary, and I am asking both of you not to further derail this thread.
