Star Trek VIII: First Contact (Remastered) [Blu-ray] Reviews:
Outstanding Blu Ray transfer! 
2009-11-30 - This is such a fantastic movie, and everything a Science Fiction movie should be!
The plot is very interesting. It brings back the Borg, the baddies of the universe. Through a series of events, the Borg time travel ( Yes I know, in Star Trek, they travel through time like we change socks) to the past and plan to make the population of Earth all Borg. Well, Captain Picard and crew just can't let that happen. They travel back the same way the Borg did and stop them. It seems that the Borg want to stop "First Contact" (that's when we met aliens for the first time) and we'll never make friends in the universe and it's easy pickings for the Brog to turn all of us into them. That's pretty much all I want to say on what happens, I don't want to give to much of it away. Just trust me, it's fantastic!
This movie has it all. It's chuck full of suspense, jaw dropping stunts, and some really interesting plot twists and some old fashion action.
I really liked the story line of Picard's obsession. It was linked to Moby Dick and Captain Ahab. This just adds to much to the story line. If you didn't know there were two epys of Star Trek: The Next Generation where Picard was taken by the Borg, and was made into one of them.
Now for the blu ray aspect. Its' phonominial!!! It has fantastic sounds. The sound is so crisp and clear, again, it adds a lot to the movie. The visuals are out of this world. Everything is crystal clear and the images are incredibly sharp. The view can't help but to be drawn in. I just have one small issues with it. The menu screen could have been so much better. It was just the Star Trek symbol, and then it looked liked you are in warp drive in space, going around the symbol. I think that they really dropped the ball on this one. They could have done so much for the menu screen. They could have had the new Enterprise, the Borg, Data, the Queen Borg, the Borg Ship, anything. Anything would be better than nothing, and I feel that's what they have for the menu.
Overall if you have a blu ray and you like shape images, and sharp impressive sound, then you need to get Star Trek: First Contact!
So-so blu-ray transfer 
2009-11-28 - I think First Contact was by far one of the top films of the Star Trek canon, and after the bangup job that they did with restoring and remastering The Original Series, I was sort of hoping that it would transfer over into the
For example, there was this piece of "fuzz" that was on the bottom of the screen while Picard and Riker were having their first chat (the scene where he's got Berloiz's opera really loudly in his Ready Room) that looked like it was caught during the film transfer. Seriously, it was huge!
Otherwise, it's not too bad. The sound's loud enough to get the neighbors upset with you, and the film makes you forget some of the weaker TV shows and the last movies featuring The Next Generation cast.
It's just an average transfer, and for an awesome film, it deserved better.
Star Trek is back.... 
2009-11-24 - I thoroughly enjoyed this great new version of the classic tv show and movie series. With some small exceptions to the story line I thought it did a wonderful job of reintroducing all the main characters from the original tv series. The actors were perfect for the rolls they were selected to play and the acting was believable. The special effects were first class and the music super. I look forward to the continuing saga of Kirk, Spock and the gang as they navigate about the galaxy finding new adventure and supplying us, the viewing audience, with excitement, drama and vicarious thrills.
Great Story 
2009-11-18 - This movie has it all - time travel, aliens, travel faster than the speed of light and the expenditure of large amounts of ordinance.
Not a great transfer 
2009-11-11 - In general, I love Star Trek. This transfer, however, is simply not up to blu-ray quality. It is not terrible, but it is not great either. I honestly can tell very little difference between the blu-ray and the DVD so far as image quality is concerned. If you already have the DVD version, don't waste you money on this.
