True. The opening shot of the wrecked Constellation, and the approach of the
Enterprise, are still very dramatic (although, and I know we disagree here,
I found the new shots thrilling). But again, that original approach shot is
wrecked by the compositing of the Enterprise, which is blurry as hell
covered in a postive snowstorm of crap- not because the print is dirty, it's
actually printed onto the negative.
But yes, the little AMT kit does do remarkably well, except at the end :)
