  • Star Trek: The Next Generation Beams to Blu-ray

    Next Gen in HD? Make it so!


    A few months back, Paramount and CBS Home Entertainment teased the upcoming release of Star Trek: The Next Generation on Blu-ray with a sample pack, titled Star Trek: The Next Generation - The Next Level, which featured a few fully remastered, digitally restored episodes, complete with new effects (read our review here). Now, after literally years of anticipation, the Emmy-nominated series will finally beam to the land of Blu-ray on July 24, 2012.

    Below is a trailer for this new collection:



    Here's a brief description of what to expect from this extensive restoration process, straight from CBS, "The show has been retransferred from original film elements to produce stunning high-definition images, including amazing visual effects that have been painstakingly recreated from the source material, creating before/after results that fans will love. The six-disc Blu-ray set also features 7.1 DTS-HD Master Audio and a wealth of exclusive bonus material, such as archival footage, a gag reel, and an inside look at taking The Next Generation to the next level of high-definition. Featuring numerous behind-the-scenes interviews, the new material also features Star Trek experts Mike and Denise Okuda, consultants throughout this ongoing project, who offer special insights into the countless man-hours dedicated to the upgrade of The Next Generation."





    Star Trek: The Next Generation Season One will feature a full frame 1080p transfer with English 7.1 DTS-HD Master Audio, English Stereo Surround, French Mono, Japanese Mono and German Mono (with the exception of "Encounter at Farpoint" which is in German Stereo).
