    1. Future BluRay releases? Really? I think I’ll simply stick with my standard deluxe editions on these.

    2. The remaster, especially in the case of WRATH OF KHAN may prove to be a revelation. The restoration is apparently on the level of the recent extensive GODFATHER work.

      Check out our reviews closer to the May release date. You may reconsider if the new discs look remarkably better/different!
