My biggest complaint with Live Action Trek vs the two Animation shows is that they seem obsessed with giving us a black ship on a black background. It’s nice to be given a reprieve, even if for only one episode.
I’ve never understood the complaints about lighting on the new treks. We’re watching on big HDR enabled screens now, the lighting is appropriate for them.
You guys have hdr?
And here I am on a 1080p plasma screen from 2011. Because it just will not die! Which, is a good thing I guess.
Oh man. I work in the post industry professionally - on the documentary side, but honestly 10bit HDR (HDR10) and 12bit (Dolby Vision) are the REAL technological leaps in quality NOT 4K/UHD.
Sure resolution is nice and all, but if you have a capatible TV, we can literally force change your local settings to optimize what we want you to see (people ever notice Dolby Vision settings turn on and grey out your own settings). Being able to change your TV's color settings natively directly to what we wanted out of the box in post is by far the biggest tech advancement in post to home video in decades. UHD is 4x the pixels but HDR is up to 16 billion more colors.
Tons of people don’t have HDR yet. It takes a while for tech to spread, especially when it’s not something many people are gunna go replace a several hundred dollar device for, nor is it necessarily a selling point when shopping for new TVs.
I thought my 4k smart tv was new enough to have it by default since I bought it in 2019, but it doesn’t.
Really, I’m on my second HDR enabled screen now and that was from 2020, the previous one dated back to 2016 and had it.
You mean you are?
If you’re not, it’s time to upgrade. The rest of us shouldn’t get a subpar product because some people aren’t up to date. I mean, TOS was partly designed to help sell colour televisions back in the day, being on the forefront of tech is part of the franchise.
Literally a ship in space with next to no light.
The live action version is more realistic.
the extra light comes from the same place as the music actually
I see, the camera just has a sun attached to it then? cool. no problem.
And the pew pews!
100% agree. Still not as bad as the darkness on GoT. The entire damn episode was just a black screen.
The one shot with all the torches going out, that the lighting was perfect for, and it looks amazing on TVs that have super great black, like an OLED.
The rest of that episode, they should’ve TURNED ON SOME DAMN LIGHTS
the two Animation shows

I’ve had to download higher quality episodes as the lighting has made higher compression unviewable.
