Note only the white and blue. Between the white and blue is a tint of green or cyan whatever, it shouldn't be on the transfer it would only display as white and blue in the cinema, not white blue and green or cyan coloured, it wouldn't even be seen on the print.

Also forget about framing it was shot in Super35 to look like scope which is a bit of cheat on the rest of the films that was all filmed in anamorphic expect this one, why?

First DVD pressing early 2000's R2 DVD

Image
Special Edition DVD release this was the directors cut versions they did on 2 disc DVD several years ago. R2 DVD


Image
Original motion picture was done at around the time just before the bluray release? R2 DVD

The blue looks almost there its as if Paramount are trying to cover it up by lower levels as I don't really buy that they made a new print from 35mm unless they have video that proves what they did for these transfers. It all looks to me nothing but mucking around on computer tint hue boasting gamma brightness lowering it using their BS colour pallet and most would believe it to be true to what would see if projected at the cinema.

Some portions are near others are not which kinder says, their tweaking this way and that way, just leave it natural I've seen some better DVD and the odd bluray but odd isn't good enough, odd has to better first time every time.

I have the bluray as well I feel like doing a capture off the NSTC Laserdisc but I rather have a look at it on the CRT to judge it fairly and...at time as there are no chapter marks with the STAR TREK ntsc original films, time 39m.02s it looks to be the same as the first edition DVD (the blue colour which ether has has white light behind it or the light is coloured to produce the lovely colour).

A little test I did early in the year with blue plastic box.

First the LED light on its own. I have no way of controlling the light or camera as its simple point and shot with a few features.

Image

Next with LED light behind the blue plastic box. Well stone a crow it looks like green on the outsides of the whites.

Image

Note: same issue with this persons camera creates a green hot spot on over the whites. I think these model kits are better than the early AMT ones that I bought that were only 22" I think these ones are 30 something inches long, I got buy myself one. :thumbup: I used 20 meters of fibre optic cable on my 22" model that I modified took a while but the warp engines was pain to get right as they need support underneath them until the glue was set.

Look at 7:52 onwards.

Good for you then. Chances are you haven't noticed it and that puts you in the clear. :thumbup:

I figured it had something to do with the fact it was the final film and maybe newer technology or something with Nicholas Meyer.

From IMDB:
Quote:
This is the only Star Trek film to be shot in the Super 35 format (all of the others were shot in Panavision anamorphic). Director Nicholas Meyer and cinematographer Hiro Narita chose this format mostly because they thought it would make the film look different from the previous five.

Which is why I'm least crazy about when I learned about years after. It looked great in 70mm, saw it three times in one day and then a few days later in 35mm SR at UCI screen 6 sat front and centre row.

Regardless of how it's presented it is still my favourite Trek film. I have the R2 DVD and PAL laserdisc, both the extended cut. I'd maybe consider getting the Blu Ray some day but just like the Motion Picture and Wrath of Khan I'll be waiting until we see the extended/director's cuts on the format.
