I'll assume HD will be better, but from the shots above I think the old enterprise looks better. The new one looks too perfect. Unfinished.
Quote:
In the original sequence, the ship's flight path seems to shift slightly to the left and right, a flaw in perspective caused by limitations in the physical length of the dolly track used for the camera shot. The digital rendering creates a more realistic perspective.
"We smoothed out the motion of the Enterprise. It flies more dynamically now," Rossi said. "It occupies real space. It doesn't look like a model anymore."

I always liked the spaceship wiggle. Now it's a flaw? Bastards! This means war!
"War" in this case meaning I'll be one of the other 38 who don't buy a set, but just watch it reluctantly at friends' homes while raving in theatre-geek fashion.
