The "Movie" aesthetic.

Which is likely done so they can easily be consistent with the in-ship footage, thus making it as much an aesthetic choice as a practical one. Think of how FIREFLY and BATTLESTAR GALACTICA had their space footage match the camerawork style in-ship. That's what DISCO is doing with the space footage matching the style of the i-ship footage.
People will complain about absolutely ANYTHING to show you how right they are about disliking something. Hell, the last 2 pages have been filled with complaints about the camerawork and cinematography. Wow, dudes....ummmm....didn't even notice and couldn't care less.
Clearly Spock using the phrase "tech" was just an obvious way by the writers to pander to modern audiences with inappropriate slang. They should be ashamed of themselves.
Everyone seems to be a DoP it seems...............
But the CGI-footage looks stylistically very different from the in-camera stuff.
It looks similar to me in that it's super contrasty. The "camera" moves around a lot no differently in ship. There's that filter mentioned above.
We need more technobabble slang.
Tricorder = trike
Cochrane = coch
Synthetic mind-meld neural enhancer = SarekVision
Tardigrade DNA horizontal gene transfer = GeneVision
Leonard Nimoy was such a millennial hipster, it's embarrassing.
It has it's fakey moments, but overall I'd say it's superior to the previous TV shows.
TNG and DS9 don't come off too badly in comparison when it was mostly model work (probably helped by real lighting), but the CGI in Voyager and Enterprise hasn't dated at all well (no ones fault, simply time and tech). The big weak point for TNG and DS9 was when they did explosions.
Also the space scenes were almost always way too brightly lit in all the previous TV shows (especially when it was CGI, possibly to speed up rendering), from all angles. Not only did it decrease the amount of "presence", it highlighted the lack of detail on even the Galaxy-D.
Look at this model shot for example:-
Outside the spacedock the lighting (and admittedly distance) makes the model look movie worthy. Once in the space dock it's up close and brightly lit and it frankly actually looks like a bad(good for the time I know) 80's CGI model due to the lack of textures/greebling/detail.
I think that whole space dock sequence stands up really well, even the recycled bits from TFS. And the very last shot, the close up with moorings, is a painting. This is TNG space visuals at its best.
I like the way it looks.
The remastered TSFS footage is gorgeous. Just shows you how if the films were digitally remastered from the original elements that the f/x would hold up very well.
Supposedly, what became the 2 part pilot was originally going to be a flashback during what eventually became ep 3, so they shot the flashback in a deliberately unreal style.
Holy shit! The comparison is jarring. The TNG-remastering has to be the best remaster anyone has ever done of a tv-show! I can't really imagine anyone ever to re-assemble every vfx-shot from original film-reels and create every CG-shot anew for an entire friggin' series (for 7 seasons no less!).
I get people are disappointed DS9 or VOY won't get remastered. But HOLY SHIT. I can't even comprehend how many resources were spent and just how freakin' GOOD the TNG remaster is! Really, it's a wonder. TIme to buy some Blu-Rays in the not too distant future...
