If it was shot on film, all you have to do is a new scan, some colour correction and you've got something good. I have a blu ray version of the original Star Trek and it looks fantastic (except for when you see the obvious makeup, of course). But I guess for that you have to hire actually skilled people who want *gasp* money. Better just feed it to some slop machine for pennies.

Could’ve just streamed the DVD version too if they didn’t want to go through that much effort.
