I'm sure this has been discussed before, but I'm about to start watching my way through the BDs of this show and while I'm inclined to watch the original versions, I wanted to see if people have any advice as to whether I should watch the versions with the new effects instead. Thanks! The new versions are quite good and to be honest I find rather interesting because of the little things, the Gorn Blinking in AREA, a Window in Capt. Pike's Hospital room showing the city.... They are well worth your time and you have the original versions as well. Not a bad deal IMHO. Ford A. Thaxton

I am probably alone on this, but I actually prefer the old effects. Nah, I'm with you too. Me too, but my wife likes the new effects, so it seems like a 50/50 proposition.

I don't mind some of the new effects, but they really stand out as "new" and not of the time. I actually would have been happy if they redid them identically, because some of the Enterprise angles are beyond what they could have shot then. I'm also not a fan of the really tight close ups of some shots of the ship, closer than ever seen in the original. The only episode where I prefer the new effects is "Tomorrow is Yesterday." The Enterprise in the atmosphere shots are fantastic, there's a new shot of the fighter jet "under cloud cover" which takes the place of a night time shot and looks 100% photo realistic. And, finally, the climactic slingshot sequence AT LAST makes sense. Other than that, the original effects for me, totally. FYI: I can switch off the icon for the new scenes on my player. That drove me nuts.

It probably is the sort of thing to watch through once, just for the novelty. Many liberties were taken with the scope of the effects and re-editing some sequences they were dropped into. Depends on how much of a purist you are. People got a great deal out of Star Trek despite it's many story-telling limitations. The new FX are probably unnecessary, but they are novel and interesting.
