    I had this thought while watching ST:TMP this morning(Don't judge Tongue Out ). What if Paramount went back & re-did most of, if not ALL of the visual effects in the TOS film series? By re-did, I mean replace all of the space scenes with CGI.

    A poll will be posted with this thread.

    I think it would remove most of the spirit of the movies.
    I really like the "old" visual effects with the (awesome) studio models, even if I'm a CGI artist Tongue Out

    If someone with the commercial rights has money to spend on Star Trek, I would prefer that they created new material. An animated Star Trek series analogous to Star Wars Rebels might be done for the cost of the movie makeovers.

    It might bring them back up to modern standards, I don't think most of the films look bad at this point, but remastering with newer technologies and everything could bring new people into the old universe. Also, the money spent on remastering is usually a separate budget/department to those that work on new content I believe.

    I'd rather have them spent that effort on remastering DS9! The TOS movies look amazing on bluray already including the space scenes, no real need in remastering them again.
    I agree with Sammy, DS9 remastered would be amazing. Sadly I don't think it will ever happen, TNG in blu-ray didn't sell as well as hoped.

    I wouldn't agree to throwing a bunch of CGI into it, but instead, subtle fixes like color correction, and things like that.

    We wouldn't want a George Lucas Special Edition situation on our hands afterall. eek!

    I agree with you here! TOS doesn't need any remastering - DS9 all the way!

    They did re-master the TOS series Movies for the Blue Ray edition didn't they; that's what most studios typically do?

    But I'm curious where the interest is in seeing DS9 enhanced over what you could get on Blue Ray? Sadly I acquired most of my DVD set's probably like most prior to the short lived Blue Ray phenomenon at the time Blockbuster disappeared and Netflix / Hulu & now Crave exist along with Pay per View with High Speed Internet.
