I don't know about 4k, but someone's been working on re-rendering the space fx shots https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fVDwPoisC6M

Edit: beaten, but with a different video.

Can we just get a version where almost all the dialogue is cut and we get an hour and a half of effects shots?

The video is essentially "recorded" by a virtual camera in a square virtual world. The boundaries of this world get a texture applied to them. In video games this is usually the sky; therefore "sky-box". In this case it's stars and stuff.

In some games it isn't around the camera, but is splicing in a camera feed inside a physical box somewhere on the map, which mean sif you stand in the right place you go full godzilla

Translation: Paramount is finally offering to pay Dochterman to re-render all the new CGI. (Dochterman was the guy who did the new effects work on The Director's Edition; he's always said that he'd be perfectly happy to provide Paramount with HD assets, but he won't do it for free.)

Also, much like Richard Donner with the so-called Donner Cut of Superman 2, Robert Wise's level of involvement in the so-called Director's Edition of The Motion Picture is highly suspect.

I think you mean Plummer, assuming this is a reference to that J. Paul Getty movie. Lee's been dead for four years.

MU Odo was such a tyrant that it honestly felt a little satisfying to watch.

He plays for the dreamers that forgot how to dream, and the lovers that forgot how to love.
I'd guessed something was up with the Romulan crew member in Season 7 of TNG in the Gambit two parter - she kept saying that her captain was being illogical, so her really being a Vulcan in Romulan-face was fairly obvious. Also, Phantasms is really funny. "I think you may be developing brain problems Data." "Really!? Yay! Just like a human!"

Yeah, they brought the original actor back. Sounds like the season is 50/50 dealing with Romulans and dealing with the Borg in some fashion since he and 7 both feature.

Brent still sounds like Data after all these years, Patrick sounds notably older. I love Seven's new accent, looks like she got over the whole borg thing.

I don't like the CGI scenes they showed though, they don't look very realistic and some of the sets look like they'd be out of a fan film?

I’m still cautiously optimistic, but :same:

The production design still looks a bit too much like the JJ films for my taste, but everything else looks alright. Spiner is almost certainly playing B4 and he looks like he’s in some kind of research facility or prison, so hopefully his role will be small. 7 is a nice surprise, and Hugh (though not featured in the trailer) is such a bizarre deep cut that I’m honestly curious where they go with it.
