    5.0 out of 5 stars The Next Generation Never Looked this Good!, January 31, 2012
    Amazon Verified Purchase( What's this?)
    This review is from: Star Trek: The Next Generation - Next Level [Blu-ray] (Blu-ray)
    Let me start by saying Star Trek: The Next Generation has never looked this good! Having seen TNG from the first airing, syndication, and on DVD, I'll say without reservation this is by far the best quality release.

    As soon as I started watching Encounter at Farpoint, I couldn't help but stare at the detail. The extra detail is amazing, especially in the effects shots. It's hard to believe that so much was washed out in the lower resolution original. But the new transfer of the film really shines.

    The uniforms pop, you can see the detail in the fabric. The Klingon costumes in Sins of the Father really show this. The space aliens in Farpoint look amazing. Until seeing this on Blu-Ray I knew they were both the same color - but they're not! The rebalanced color looks great. It's no longer washed out and it really brings out the details.

    The only possible negative I would point out is that you can see some of the imperfections in the makeup... Read more

    5.0 out of 5 stars A word to the wise on ratios and HDTV's..., February 2, 2012
    This review is from: Star Trek: The Next Generation - Next Level [Blu-ray] (Blu-ray)
    This is in reply to all the "It's not fair, it doesn't fill my TV... why do I have these black borders at the sides?" people:

    The ratio on the Blu-ray discs is the same as it ever was for Star Trek: The Next Generation. Same as it was shot in, same as it was broadcast in, same as it was presented on VHS and the same as it was presented on DVD. Why on earth some people expect Blu-ray to magically alter this situation is beyond me, but you only have to note the two and one star reviews to see they are. The series was filmed in 4:3, a quarter of a century ago, long before anyone envisaged that we'd all have 16:9 widescreen TV's in our homes in the future. "But I could make my Star Trek TNG DVD's play in widescreen", I hear you cry. No, actually you couldn't. What you were doing was stretching or zooming the image to fill your widescreen TV. This is fake widescreen, and something purists never do, but was quite easy to achieve with a standard definition DVD, on a standard... Read more

    5.0 out of 5 stars amazing transformation, January 20, 2012

    This review is from: Star Trek: The Next Generation - Next Level [Blu-ray] (Blu-ray)
    The original masters for this show, edited on videotape, were so bad, in my opinion, and the transformation into HD by painstakingly piecing together original film elements and when necessary, recreating the CGI, is being handled so well, that the end result to the eyes, is just stunning. For a fan of TNG, this is really a priceless addition to one's library. I'll be purchasing every season to encourage them to do the same thing with Deep Space Nine.
