The browns and beige really do pop in this HD remaster.
Hell yeah they do
Don't forget the mother of pearl!
And the dark browns and light browns.
I still don't know why this and others reviews Are not in cinema?!!!.....when i firts watch this ( obout milion years a go) i laugh every time so hard and fel out of my chear.......
Admiral Bicheyev Is the most distgusting persong in universe!!!
Remember when Rick Berman was the worst thing to happen to Star Trek? Can we go back to that?
HE, truly is the Best of the Worst (tm)
Back at a time when Terminator 3 and the Star Wars prequels were the worst of those franchises. We didn’t realise how lucky we were.
@@spenser9908 Now T3 is passable and the Prequels were great foundational content that was recycled into excellent fan lore.
What is it with Ricks??
My friend... choose to live.
"TV show Picard (We'll call him Larry)..." always makes me laugh. It's perfect.
Star Trek : His Erection. 😆 🤣
The movie makes sense when you realize "Jean-Larry" was simply trying to get some shore leave action. LOL
So do we call CBS All Access Picard "Jake"?
I love how they edited Data dropping the anvil on the guys foot.
And shooting a guy at the "kill" setting.
Having not watched TNG yet when I first saw the review I was very mystified by why Data would do these things. Then I find out Mike was just making up lies
@@davistoaMe too, when I got to those episodes I was like: "Plinkett lied to me!"
After 3 years of waiting, I’m starting to think the offer of free pizza rolls was a scam.
Clearly your postman is a pizza roll stealing fatty.
you didn't get your rolls?!
I got mine.
These men are pawns
This isn't Mike Stoklasa's true vision. His true vision was for these to be 144p so that Picard's head is an entire pixel.
Nah. This is his _original_ vision. He just didn't have the technology to do it back in 2006.
Now if we could just add a few more PNG rocks next to the cloaked holodeck-ship...
@Anonymous 2000 and we cant undo that. but we can eh.. diminish the effects of it
@@DistractedGlobeGuy z
@@DistractedGlobeGuy This is from `06?! ..jeez.
@@MasterBlaster220 the audio is. These TNG movie reviews were originally put up in seven-minute segments back in '06 and '07, just before the _Phantom Menace_ review.
I love that some random waitress serving Jay became the infamous Bambi.
Oh my god... that's Jay. I never noticed as I was always too focused looking at Bambi. Just figured it was a random picture Mike took off google image search
@@davistoa I immediately knew it was Jay because of his hair lol
"Does anyone even think about the details of a movie before they make it?" Hey, here in 2021, and I'm happy to report that this new generation of writers are nailing it completely. Star Wars, Star Trek, Terminator, Predator, Aliens, all your favorites are in good hands.
Thank goodness... We wouldn't want them to, you know, 𝙩𝙤𝙩𝙖𝙡𝙡𝙮 𝙨𝙪𝙘𝙠 or anything.
😂
.....
😭😭😭
How do I know that the je is a good is a good idea for the who is je sais que tu as raison je te fais confiance et te remercie
Can’t wait for the HD upscale of the Cop Dog review
Not an upscale. Cop Dog is only available digitally in HD so I can’t get a copy to edit from.
@@CopterBlue Screen capture software???
Note: I have no idea if this would work, it's just my initial thought lol
@big boss bob ross I was actually able to get a 720p copy saved from a service that is streaming it free right now. I am working on getting a higher bit-rate 1080p version. Screen capture would work but I don't like the transcoding involved which loses quality and possible dropped frames. I would like to work from the highest quality source available.
@@CopterBlue yes... for *Cop Dog.*
*ONLY THE BEST*
@@CopterBlue i was going to suggest torrents but then i realized no one in the entire universe is seeding “Cop Dog”
27:11 "One person aboard. It's the android." I love how spontaneously respectful they are about Data's person-hood. I mean, yes. His friends consider him a person and he's officially classified as a person by Starfleet, and I suppose the majority of the audience agrees. But you would think that the antagonists of the story, that have every reason to hate Data, would be more inclined to speak of him as an "it," kinda like they did earlier, with the "Next time, leave your android at home." That line really should've been more like: "No people aboard. Just the android."
That's something an editor would have caught.
Even members of the Federation surveillance team at the beginning called him "the android"
Assuming he's talking English. If not it's just a translation and interpretation
The only thing this is missing, is Greedo saying "Maclunlky".
"So Chef Boyardee realizes he's been duped by Picard."
Oh my. You’re doing incredible work.
Truly God’s work.
The original Star Trek would have dismissed the Baku as misguided and harmful. They clearly aren’t accomplishing much; living so long is causing them to put things off rather than learn. Kirk would have encouraged them to embrace technology and space travel as a good thing, and to quit being so paranoid and antisocial.
"And a budget smaller then an episode of Alf"
Always gets me.
YES!!! Thanks for the re-mastered versions of these priceless reviews. It's nice to watch RLM destroy these films in hi-def. :-D
man, plinkett really has it out for marina sirtis... you'd think she turned him down at a balckjack table or something
She bit his nose off
I love balkjack its very fun
5:07 Another weird thing about that rockface, you're telling me nobody ever wandered up there? You would've thought some kids would've been exploring and walked through the hologram, or somebody gathering resources would've tried looking up there.
Picard: where’s ruafo?
Riker: ...
Picard: where’s ruafo?
😂
My favourite part lmao
Where’s Raffi?
Chosen one!!!!!
“NOTHING. MAKES. SENSE. Like my life.”
3:56 i fucking lost it at this reversed shot making it look like Data dropped the anvil in the blacksmith guy 😂
"SHUT UP, I'M TALKING!!"
It's insane how much work you put into these, thank you for making the potato quality originals more watchable. You're one cool dude 🖖
i like this review because when it starts Plinkett's just kind of lukewarm about it, but by the end he's calling it a symphony of stupid
23:10 minor point: inertial dampers are almost always functioning in trek scenarios, they just suffer to some degree from damage and power loss. If the dampers were fully offline, people would break every bone in all of their bodies all over the ship. it's a plot device, but it's a consistent one.
Ending of this video is a masterpiece
17:26 "Now, I examined this film with a team of perverts..."
...fucking Plinkett, my sides hurt so much.
i especially really like how Levar Burton got to have no more visor because of Visibility Onscreen.
even though his visor was absolutely his most famous, borderline _only_ defining characteristic to anyone not a fan of the show. wheee
Frankly, he looks better with it on too
Compared to the current state of Star Trek, the TNG movies are looking like masterpieces.
okay lets not go crazy here, the TNG movies are just *that* bad
@@whatr0 I'd say they're largely not good Star Trek, but they're good movies on their own. Much like the Kelvin movies, they're not Stat Trek but they're largely competently made cinema.
Hollywood should really just hire Stoklasa to write Star Trek for them. He's so much better at it than they are
His Erection. I laughed harder at that than I should have.
Yo, this is fantastic. Did you hand-edit all this together and re-use the audio track?
Yes. It takes alot of time.
@@CopterBlue Wow, that's dedication.
What other kind of editing is there?
@@CopterBlue I'm sorry, but writing "alot" is unacceptable. 😠 Please edit your comment forthwith.
@@Reggie1408 Perhaps he could have edited it with his feet? I think hand-editing looks better though.
Yaaassssss!! Dude, I appreciate your work so much!
it's funny how Plinkett didn't even think about how them not aging means the cycles of an egg being inseminated and growing wouldn't happen
No, remember that the kid was just 12, and he wouldn’t be immortal until he grew up? But aside from that, even a 300 year old woman with MILFy qualities will still have an empty egg basket. Ain’t math a bitch?
"I've watched all of these reviews dozens of times... I can't possibly watch another one..."
**finds this channel**
The TNG movies, for their faults, are a welcome revisit after experiencing the intellectual vomit that is Star Trek Discovery. And the genetic space action flicks that are the JJ Abrams movies (though Beyond was actually decent).
Man, everyone says beyond is the best JJ Trek and I fucking hate it. To me it just seemed like "bad guy wants revenge against Federation for no real reason" plot. I actually liked Into Darkness which everyone seems to hate. I found that film to have made Khan into the super genius genetically modified villain that he always should have been.
Beyond loses the suspension of disbelief about 5 minutes in, making any value of the remainder of the film largely irrelevant.
Kudos to the brave soul who did a bang up job with the TH-cam captions.
"The JC Penny fashion look," hell yeah... EARTH TONES, muh-fukahhhhs....
I hope the algorithm shines on you today
It just occurred to me you put in some elbow grease to make these, great work! Abd thanks for your efforts.
According to Wikipedia this actually the most expensive Next Gen movie. Work that out if you will. F. Murray Abraham must've been hella expensive. The problem with this movie is that I have zero sympathy for the supposed innocent victims. I can barely ever remember which is which. They both sound like they could be bad or good. So the Ba'ku landed there by pure accident and decided that they'd stay. They could've spent their significantly longer lifespans trying to figure out a way to capture what makes the planets fountain of youth work for others and potentially help untold hundreds of millions of people in the process. Instead they stay and keep it all to themselves. Frankly I see no problem with transporting them off world if it'll help others as well as the So'na who probably wouldn't be so crazed if they'd have just been allowed to soak up some of that life giving goodness. I mean, what exactly are the Ba'ku doing that's worth a few hundred of them occupying an entire planet? This really feels like a classic "needs of the many outweighing the needs of the few". The inconvenience done to a few hundred Ba'ku is insignificant to the many billions or trillions of humans and other races across the galaxy. The fact the Ba'ku can't get behind that makes them selfish and quite evil. "Well we could figure out how to save so many people I can't even wrap my head around a number so high. On the other hand, who will water my plants when I'm gone? This seems like an easy choice. The plants are far more important". It's not like their lives will be crazy short. After living on the planet for awhile I'm sure they'll have enough goodness stored to push beyond what most people get. And since this is the future and there's all manner of life extending science. Who knows, maybe the guy who was trying to make the cellular entertainment and regeneration chamber just needed some of the special particle radiation from the planet to finally perfect his machine. Even still, look at someone like Leonard "Bones" McCoy. The guy was only retiring at the ripe old age of 137 years old. He must've still had a fair bit of life in him. The Ba'ku's time on the planet could've extended that another hundred years even after they left. I realize I keep repeating myself but they seriously bug me and it ruins any chance the movie had.
The original Star Trek would have dismissed the Baku as misguided and harmful. They clearly aren’t accomplishing much; living so long is causing them to put things off rather than learn. Kirk would have encouraged them to embrace technology and space travel as a good thing, and to quit being so paranoid and antisocial.
Holy shit, this looks *gorgeous*. Thank you!!!
Picard was really into relics 😋
The one main Baku guy is sporting Shatner’s 80’s curly pompadour. 😂
That kind of dock floats. It still doesn't make complete sense but that almost explains it.
Unlike Plinkett's wife, some docks can float in a lake.
The best part of this movie was Donna Murphy.
I came back to these after Picard S3. I really hope we get a Plinkett review where he’s a happy old codger and decides to turn himself in for all his awful crimes because PS3 was such a good send off for TNG he feels he can die in peace now.
I haven’t seen any of the Picard series, but is it possible to only watch season 3 WITHOUT seeing the earlier crap?
I just watched another video review of this movie by another TH-camr, and I had to come back here to make sure he didn't eat my pizza rolls.
You are doing god's work sir
Bradley Thornton Do you even believe in god you heathen?
Landon Schertz Only my lord and savior Blue Copter
All of a sudden...I want some pizza rolls. Can't imagine why
I wonder if his grandkids got to meet Mickey yet......
missed opportunity to reference Mozart instead of Beethoven, considering Salieri is the villain in this
The calibrate button plays "H.M.S. Pinafore". The first button press was unrelated.
Also, in that episode with "Mister Radioactive", how is it this alien humanoid species can read... You know... ENGLISH TEXT?!?!?
I would have to check to be sure, but I recall that Data reads the word, the guy just repeats it since he doesn't know what it means.
I would love to know if people like Rick Berman and Michael Piller have seen these reviews. I would love to see the expressions on their faces watching them. "Does anyone even think about the details of a movie before they make it?!" LOL!
Michael Piller, the Insurrection writer, died in 2005. He wrote a book "Fade In: The Making of Star Trek Insurrection", a PDF of which can be found on the net, in which he describes in great detail from appointment to critical response.
10:19 Is that Jay?
Will the pizza rolls also be remastered??
The Son'a Collector did look like the Vorlon Ship that carried Ambassador Kosh around.
17 year old me when i seen this in a theater. I thought it was a decent episode but a poor movie.
Star Trek and weed is the greatest combo any one ever introduce me to
This is incredible. Truly doing god's work.
This is more work than RLM has put in their content in YEARS. I appreciate everything you are doing.
Lmao surely you aren't serious.
Almost every RLM video is a tour de force of editing.
My pizza roll still hasn't arrived, next time try Priority express Mr. P
My calculation came to a population of 3,745,917
Plinkett is a hack fraud
What an amazing job, thank you it looks great.
3:59 and 4:13 Holy Crap! It's the guy at the donut shop in Wayne's World that got laid off. He's gonna file a complaint with the union.
Well the world’s a twisted place
You’re hard work is appreciated friend.
*your
Torperator ya got me.
My god, look at all those crisp beiges and neutrals.
Remaster Star Wars Episode 3. I know its technically already in 1080p, but after watching it again i noticed that the star wars clips are noticably of lower resolution to your previous remasters.
Your work should be commended
Not the same without "I Squeeze Gatz"
Luckily for me I have an mp3 always standing by.
You mean that song Mr Plinkett's reviews always ends with? The song that even *this* review has in its ending? You mean *that* song?
If you only had bothered to actually watch until the end, you could've caught it. But good thing you got it on stand-by ...I mean "standing by", then.
@@LateralTwitlerLT Musta been a glitch cause it stopped and went right to the suggestion page without touching anything.
@@dragonskunkstudio7582 shid happnes
I think Squeeze gats first appeared for the prequels.
Everytime I see the Admiral, I can't help but wonder if this isn't one of the early versions of the Matrix. He looks so much like the Architect.
Actually, that actor was in the matrix reloaded and revolutions - he plays the leader of the humans in zion, the guy who hates sleeping.
Fun fact, he’s also in Licence to Kill and also dies by getting his face stretched.
Anthony Zerbe.
The first 40 seconds sums up what I think about this film. It's the closest to Star Trek out of all the TNG films, and it felt like a good two-parter. As a film, First Contact is the best. Star Trek works best as an episodic TV show.
mintydog06 Yeah, exactly. Insurrection feels like the hypothetical S9->S10 two-parter (the e1 cliffhanger is when they find the holoship!) that we might have got if Paramount had decided to send a Law and Order-style long-running TNG over to anchor UPN instead of Voyager, and I honestly mean that as a compliment. Substitute the TOS crew for Cochrane and the 23rd century for the 21st and First Contact is what Generations should have been.
Still waiting for my Pizza Roll in the mail..
I invite traditional Star Trek fans to enjoy a completely free novel, just Google Star Trek Lost Destiny. I was annoyed by Worf's bazooka. Really, that's the best we can do for a weapon?
Welcome back!
I use Plinkett's dulcet tones to sleep and this getting claimed and blocked messed with my nights.
Thank you good sir, youre doing Jupiters work... Or Venus's, or Athena's...
I tried fixing the blue screen effect myself, the control panels didnt look good but I managed to pull it off pretty well.
I really don’t like those comfortable cardigan looking uniforms. It accentuates the ageing of the crew.
Brilliant. Insurrection is hugely inconsistent. So true. So unmemorable
Well…only memorable to ME!😢 Jump number 12 was technically a night jump on the Thursday evening before opening weekend of the the movie’s release, but it was at dusk, so we would STILL have Friday off for recovery, making a three day weekend. Our first sergeant re-upped on board the flight, so we were all pumped to go out the door… And we were the last ones in North Carolina to see the sunset. This crappy movie’s opening night was part of that, and it was GREAT!😂😭🥲
Lmao the way the anvil clip is cut so it looks like he drops it on him
13:33 shouldn’t the admiral have said:
“The life as you know it is over. Resistance is futile.”
Weird how that one Ba'ku man in the green top looks so much like a skinnier Kirk.
wheres rurafro?
Best opening line ever.
Late to the party but this is dead on good shiznit.
Me too and agreed.
But wait for it....Data is a flotation device! He must’ve had Batman DNA in him, prepared for anything!
I can't watch this version. Thank you for doing the work but I like my Plinkett in hideous 4x3 low def. I'm like the hipster VCR guy from those couple episodes of HitB played by Tim Higgins.
I JUST WANNA WATCH MY PLINKETT TAPES GODDAMNIT
Where’s Raafu???
10:20 @blue copter Where did you find the HD version of this photo?
tineye.com found a high resolution version.

The ep "Who Watches the Watchers" and the ep "First Contact" are each 1000x better than all the TNG films combined
I'm going to upvote all your videos brother ;)
I estimate this took you about 3 months of everyday work.
before you sit down to direct a star trek movie, you should be forced to watch the whole series before you start
Is it just me or does Mike misunderstand the holoship scene? I think they don't drain the lake. They just spray some water into the air to make the cloaked ship (which was just hovering in the middle of the lake) visible.
Bravo, man, well done.
In star fleet every one is giving a monthly contraception injection that design to prevent them having kids, unless they get married than the injection is no longer mandatory. this is covered by in star trek deep space nine were captain sisko forgets to take his do to being so busy with the war with the dominion
1:00 This isn't from Babylon 5... at least not the original series.
So much for a statement -- should it be from B5, please let me know what episode; thanks!
First two were funny and spot on. This one's biggest complaint was the budget, idk. The Data plot hole isnt much compared to what we've seen, hence the fake anvil on the foot edit when that's not how it happened. The wood rotted with the anvil, data was the only one who could tolerate the radiation which is why he was chosen for the mission, and if he wasnt there to do experiments thereafter - they all would have died. This review, comedic or not, "doesn't make sense on so many levels".
