Spoilers STAR TREK: SECTION 31 - Grading & Discussion
- Thread starter Commander Richard
- Start date
Sorry that happened. Well doctors on a starship are on a command structure. They are there to take care of the crew. Also these are doctors of the future not our cruddy present.
Ah ok. Thanks.
I gotta movie for you. Muted color and "no lighting"
And crying
Actually its much brighter than std or stp. I actually liked the uniforms as well. Spock just cried a bit. Not like all the ugly crying we got on std.
Yeah the color pallette is great. The rec room scene is bright, spacious and has colorful chairs and sofas.
They popped up now. Did you fix it?
Nope. I can see both pics you posted.
I just look at it as the cold, mechanical and very brushed steel look that sci-fi commonly inserted into films in the mid-to-late 1970s. Logan's Run is another example of a muted color pallette with lots of one- or two-tone costumes and TMP just follows on from that trend. The ship is beautiful and I love how "real" it feels in some ways. Metal. Assembled.
Nope. Weird
Maybe its my phone speed or internet.
Helluva a shift from the "in living color" of TOS. They brightened it up a again for TWOK. and the day glow 80s.
Yeah, it's jarring as hell. But it works for me, if only for that one film.
Appropriately, a beige military jacket is on my ads as we discuss this.
And TMP was very muted.

Which points to a big problem with DISCO... the writing. EVERY series had a clearly defined Chief Medical Officer. They couldn't even be bothered to say Culber was the CMO once. Not even a passing line.
Same with the Chief Engineer, which is another post where every show has a clearly defined one. Even TNG season 1, with their rotation of them, were still referred as 'Chief Engineer' or 'one of our Chief Engineers'.
It was probably hard for Discovery to have a clearly defined chief engineer without having a clearly defined engine room.
Yeah, I'm of the opinion that pretty much everything worked in terms of aesthetic in the motion picture, besides some of the uniforms. It's still the only classic Trek film that actually feels like a big budget movie. The Refit Enterprise feels alive and liveable with its massive sets that we never saw again in the later films.

The most credible theory I have heard is that they do it to cover the flaws that would show up because of the higher resolution camera's and screens now in use.
Of course, given we saw the Enterprise D's bridge on screen in Picard Season 3 and it looked absolutely beautiful, I'm not sure how much credibility to give that now.

I supppse that's fair.
But that certainly doesn't excuse the lack of defining the CMO when they had a Sickbay.
Okay, here's where we stand after a week eliminating the 1 votes and the 10 votes. Now one through eight, with eight being best
8: 3.8% of the vote
7: 5.7% of the vote
6: 11.5%
5: 19.7%
4: 20.4%
3: 8.9%
2: 14.1%
1: 15.3%
Still not great results, but in my opinion these results really are more accurate to the quality of the movie.

And this is why proper Network Isolation & Manual Updates are important, no matter how annoying it might be.
The consequences of automatic Networking are dangerous.
I love watching Robert Wise's The Andromeda Strain and TMP back-to-back to see the continuity of direction, cinematography, and art design between the two movies. You can easily see the lineage from one into the other, down to split-diopter shots and using a different color scheme in the corridors per level.
And both films are great.
I said what I said.
