I like the EU version because we never get to see empty space anymore. Sometimes you just need empty space

Thanks man!!! I’ve had cops pull me over just for a picture with the car.

thank you so much. my twins and many others think im batty when i say the new knights are not dubbed but dubious

Why was their a difference?

Still making them

You couldn’t have set this to the actual sound from the episode?

The US obviously ties in with the blue nebula/clouds (from TNG opening), but the EU is like a homage to the TNG 90s warp fx (which also tie's in with the iconic blue nebula opening) I will have to rewatch the bluray (UK) to see which they used

Interestingly enough the phisical DVD/Blu-ray release features the "EU" version but only on the main menu with all the other clips and snippets. The actual episode however still contains the "US" version (which also appears on all the streaming platforms). Thought that was quite interesting

Am I the only one who thinks the EU one looks better?

no. i saw the US version on amazon EU

To have set that version live for streaming with an animatic was clueless.

The US version was originally created for the IMAX screenings and Paramount decided to use it for the P+ version, according to Trekcore.

The “EU” version was an unfinished effect, it has now been corrected. However the recent Blu-ray release unfortunately has the unfinished effect on the disc.

The blu rays have the EU shot

I hate it...

Curious.

I'm from Belgium, and prime always showed the US version, I've never seen the more 'simplified' version.

Just checked the PICARD season 3 blu-ray release in the UK - it has the EU version again, not the superior US version. EDIT: Apparently this is the US blu-ray release, the UK version isn’t out until November. Have they decided that the EU version was the “correct” version after all? Curiouser and curiouser…

this isnt true

dortmund

Knight rider 2:

Um you know that the Knight Rider Historians already do this sort of thing.😁 And oh yeah, Joe's got the Semi. Cool as the heckens with the Psycho house from Halloween Knight.

US way better

We got in the uk was the same as the US cgi. But there there again were not part of the EU anymore lol. However both cgi shots are pretty good

The EU one has more gravitas. I prefer it

This looks horrible either way. Original DVDs here I come.

The US one looked better.

American here, I prefer the EU version. It’s more traditional TNG.

I have never seen the "EU" version on AmazonPrime in the UK. Always been the top one.

But why they made it different?

By the way, is there an technical explanation anywhere why the Warp-transit effect of the Ent-D (stars slowly drifting by, as it used to be pre-2005) is different from that of literally any other ship shown since 2009? (basically Star Wars-Hyperspace) Like, differently built engines? The other ships all use a sort of Slipstream-drive instead of "old-fashioned" Warp?

What a beauty..

I wonder why they did that?

WHY??????? Just WHY?!

Ahhh as a EU citizen in Austria, I kinda prefer the EU Version

Troy said I thought it was smaller. Dude, the ship is huge. Where are the kids and hobbies and Forward 10's mystic Guinan? It is not a combat shuttle made of a bridge

EU version is a lot better! I live in Hungary, and I got to see the US version though... how come?

The EU version is better, no I don't care if the CGI isn't as detailed or that it doesn't have overly panning shots of the Enterprise.

Why two versions?

Germany here. Same intro like the US

EU has better lighting and movement. It's like they were trying to capture the studio model look and feel.

Why would they have different versions? That would cost more but not really deliver an added benefit.

S03 was finally real StarTrek, that's what matters.

This was good catch before the update. It really looks like they tried very hard to make a straight TNG tribute shot (which the EU version got) but then decided they needed a bit more modernization.

The EU version has the more faithful Enterprise shot but the US version has much better CGI. I wonder if all versions originally had the EU version but the shot was redone only to not be applied to all versions in post production.

Either way I'm just delighted they used the "proper" warp field effect!!

I actually disliked the US version over the EU. I did love the angled approach of the US one, but there was something very off with the main deflector in that one. I understand that this wasn't full CGI, and they used model ships. And you can clearly see it's a model in the US version. The reflection of the deflector looks like there is some kind of wrinkled plastic foil on it, which doesn't look realistic. It looks like a toy. I would prefer models over CGI, but this was surely an error during the shoot and build of it. The EU looks like it's full CGI.

That scene was the title scene from Star Trek TNG! I recognize that like the back of my big toe! Jesus christ man. This series is like a movie all on its own!! Possibly the best out of all of them. The crew start and leave the exact same way. So much sentimental value to this show. So much wisdom. And a lot of them can be applied to right now, even. Timeless. But........love how they pull out everything from the past and put them all here. Even Alice Krige as the Borg Queen!!! Wow. They spared no one. And the little tease at the very end of the movie? Err, I mean series? Poor Jack...... From all the old cast, to the Enterprise D, to the new Enterprise G....the Stargazer, brief glimpses of the USS Defiant, USS Voyager, wow! Can it get any better? We need a continuation of this! I had tears streaming down my face when I saw the Enterprise D and the dramatic build up to it. The flood of memories came coming back and hit me so hard. Most of the kickoff happens in Season 3. All the trekkies out there would enjoy this one. What a buildup! I'm telling you, this has so much more than any movie can offer in the history of Star Trek and movies in general. I guess technology and CG has matured and can now make the simplest things happen on the small screen. The original TV Star Trek and even all the TNG, could not duplicate this. Now, anything is possible and boy did they make this a good one.

The UK version didn't have the "In the 25th Century " message in the first episode.

UK got the US version
