Format:Blu-ray|Amazon Verified Purchase
I bought this Blu-ray to watch on a friend's machine and I was so impressed with the quality gain that the very next day I replaced my computer with a new system that can handle Blu-Rays. Yes, the quality difference was THAT CONVINCING. Instant assimilation!
I think pretty much all of the additional material is in standard definition. This includes the original trailer, and you can clearly see the difference in quality. The trailer, despite only being 14 years old, has grain and jitter, but by comparison the HD presentation of the movie is crisp, detailed, and vivid. The sound is truly excellent.
If you ever got a thrill from watching the fleet's desperate defence of Earth, or seeing the vein pop out of the side of Patrick's head when he goes off the deep end with his Ahab impression, you absolutely must buy this Blu-ray. And a player to watch it on... I don't call mine my Blu-ray drive, I call it my First Contact drive :)

Format:Blu-ray
This is my personal favourite Star Trek film of all time which has the creepy Borgs in it. "Jonathan Frakes" who plays Commander William Riker also directed this masterpiece. "Patrick Stewart" has never been better then when acts as Captain Jean-Luc Picard. The Borgs are the best and most evil Star Trek baddies and how the hell does The Borg Queen acted by "Alice Krige" look so good still underneath all that make-up. The blu-ray transfar and surround sound blew me away it really is top quality. For all you trekkies out there this is a must have film on blu-ray.

Format:Blu-ray
My first contact with the borg in HIGH DEFINITION swept me off my feet. One of the best ST feature films amazed me again. Watched on my 24" LED monitor it was stunning. I love the new ST blu-ray menu. Funny that most blu-ray have crap menus but this one is amazing. Loaded with extras a real bargain to be watched over and over again.
Pure HD entertainment. You will experience details both audio and video which will really surprise you. Go get it. Delivery was good not excellent but patience is a virtue
