Star Trek Enterprise Season 3 // 27th January 2014 - Blu-ray Forum

Blu-FutureUK · 12-31-2013, 02:34 PM

Couldn't find a thread for this yet.

Release Date: 27th January 2014

Currently £38.99 from entertainment store on play.com

Season 4 has a release of 1st April 2014 in the US, so i guess we will get it at the end of April.

Brill, was about to pre-order with Amazon @ £50!
Thanks!

Indiana Jones · 12-31-2013, 02:57 PM

Already had it pre-ordered with Amazon but been hoping for a better price, £38.99 will do nicely.

It will indeed, thanks very much OP.

CouncilSpectre · 12-31-2013, 04:54 PM

Yep, couldn't say no at that price, cheers.

Blu-FutureUK · 01-02-2014, 08:24 PM

Funds have been taken from my bank account for this already

must be a mistake. Ive sent them a email.

happened to anyone else?

Indiana Jones · 01-03-2014, 10:22 AM

They have taken payment from me also.

Entertainment Store might be one of those places that takes payment at the time you place the order like Tesco Direct and WowHD.

NicWhit · 01-03-2014, 02:24 PM

Just had an email from ES saying it was a cockup.
They're giving you the opportunity to cancel, get a refund and re-order. Or leave the order as is.

CouncilSpectre · 01-03-2014, 04:00 PM

Only 3 weeks(ish) to release, I'll probably leave it now.

Indiana Jones · 01-04-2014, 08:09 PM

Received the same email and will leave mine too, even if they processed the refund now it probably wouldn't show for a week and they are going to take payment on the 20th anyway.

Geoff D · 01-04-2014, 09:05 PM

Yeah, I'll leave mine too.

When was the price at 38.99?

Edit: Nevermind. The price is only available for UK customers...

According to High-Def Digest season 3 offers the worst picture quality yet:

'Enterprise' was still shot on 35mm film in Season 3 (and then transferred to digital for broadcast), so a good deal of grain is still evident in the print. However, this season set also features a lot of digital noise, which I didn't really notice much of on the first two season sets. It's seen more easily in many of the well-lit shots (such as scenes in sickbay), but there's definitely a lot of 'mosquito noise' buzzing around in many scenes that clearly has nothing to do with the grain.

In addition to the digital noise, I also noticed occurrences of dirt on the print that popped up every now and again – usually in the form of white (although sometimes black) 'flecks' on the screen. While these are far less frequent than the noise issues mentioned above, the previous sets were pretty clean when it came to film dirt…that's not the case here. I have no idea if the production had to use a cheaper 35mm film stock in Season 3, but considering the show was always worried about budget, I suppose it's a possibility.

Added to the above problems, the video still has all the issues of prior releases. Even though all new special effects at this point in the series were being rendered in 780p, many effects still suffer from noticeable aliasing issues. Black levels are, once again, not very strong, and the murkiness is even more noticeable in Season 3, since there are only a handful of instances where episodes feature 'real' locations instead of being shot on a set.

Complete Review.

CouncilSpectre · 01-06-2014, 06:12 PM

A shame, but I'm still fairly confident that it'll pass the old "better than the DVDs" test.

I can't see CBS giving this the TOS/TNG treatment so this is still probably the best that you're going to get.

Indiana Jones · 01-06-2014, 06:45 PM

Can't imagine it's worse than my current 720p HDTV rips plus they always have decent bonus features so I am still looking forward to it.

Yeah, I have those, and they look ok. As you say, I doubt these will be worse.

Me too. Might pop an episode on later to check out the quality.
