Star Trek: The Next Generation : The naughty Skin of evil

The naughty Skin of evil

I'm sure this has been discussed before - but why didn't they improve the rather grotty special effects when it was remastered?

The physical effects of the creature were a bit camp - but the depiction of Riker being sucked into the dirtiest bathwater of his life were good. But the skin moving around on the ground blocking the crew's path were terrible.



Re: The naughty Skin of evil

This was discussed on the special features, they didn't want to do a Star Wars rather they wanted to enhance the viewing experience of the original allowing the viewer to see the episodes as they were originally (but limited due to the film transfer and SD broadcast) the only changes were where something had been lost e.g. the crystaline entity.

Riker being flushed wasn't FX that's actually Frakes jumping in the deep end!

Re: The naughty Skin of evil

Pity I think this is one effect that should have been replaced. I remember even 26 years ago how terrible it looked.

Re: The naughty Skin of evil

because this is scary and unnecessary in any version.

That wasn't Binks it was one of those female alien singers in Jabba The Hut's palace at the beginning of ROTJ.That was an image of the crappy CGI character that replaced the original puppet in the late 90's director's cut.

Re: The naughty Skin of evil

Really? I told a friend, after my first viewing of Phantom Menace on opening day in the cinema, that I thought Jar Jar Binks was tolerable. I used that word, yes.

Why are you here if you haven't seen the movie yet?

Re: The naughty Skin of evil

He was stupid though. Barely tolerable.

RIP Gene Wilder. One of the funniest people of all time. RIP Robert Vaughn

Re: The naughty Skin of evil

When I came out of the cinema after watching TPM I thought I had just watched the product of a a wooden acted stage play that had unnatural sex with a CGI cartoon.

Re: The naughty Skin of evil

Yeah, it's the pits. But, it made a ton of money being the first new Star Wars movie in 22 years.

RIP Gene Wilder. One of the funniest people of all time. RIP Robert Vaughn

Re: The naughty Skin of evil

yeah but boy where those fans disappointed.

Re: The naughty Skin of evil

Oh, definitely. People hate it now.
