Star Trek: The Original 4 Movie Collection [4K Ultra-HD] [2021]

Product Information

The film is set in the present day and uses more live locations compared to the previous TMP era films did however cause some of the effects shots to look particularly bad after they had been through DNR and sharpening. The fishing boat at the end was a prime example with it looking like a toy that had been hastily put in with Microsoft paint when superimposed with the Bird of Prey. The previous master of the film seemed to take the approach that as much of this as possible should be covered up by cranking the saturation up in a number of scenes, most notably the ‘God’ encounter in the final act. The final result is that you could probably light up half of New York if you paused it at the wrong moment. At long last, all six of the classic Star Trek crew’s big-screen adventures are available to fans in new 4K Ultra HD presentations, rescanned from the original negatives and preserved without the heavy-handed, artificial modifications that have plagued the movies since their first high-definition release in 2009. This box set also includes digital copies of all six films, as well as 1080p Blu-ray counterparts. Remember, you can only watch these movies in 4K/HDR if you have a 4K/HDR-capable TV and a 4K/HDR Blu-ray player. Game consoles such as the Xbox One X, Xbox Series S/X, and PlayStation 5 will play 4K/HDR discs. Audio Commentary by Robert Wise, Douglas Trumbull, John Dykstra, Jerry Goldsmith, and Stephen Collins​

likely the most refined pure Trek film of all time, the likes of which we would basically never see againStar Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country arrives with two versions of the film on 4K: the original theatrical cut, which was also available in the previous 2009 Blu-ray (and what most people have seen on streaming services to date), and the longer director’s cut last released in the 2004 Special Collector’s Edition DVD. The fully-remastered and enhanced Star Trek: The Motion Picture — The Director’s Edition will also released in a massive three-disc special limited set this September, as The Complete Adventure will contain not only the Director’s Edition and theatrical cut of the film in 4K UHD, but it will also include 1983 “Special Longer Version” as an exclusive feature. Hot on the heels of the breaking news about Star Trek: The Motion Picture — Director’s Edition getting an unexpected facelift to 4K, Paramount Home Entertainment has formally announced the heavily-rumored addition of the first four Star Trek films to hit the Ultra-HD format as well! These extras unfortunately feel a bit more generic and uninspired than those for the other films, though that’s probably because the film itself feels generic. Even so, there’s some good content here and certainly much of you’d want discussed is covered. Both commentaries are well worth your time. The Easter egg featurette from the 2002 Special Collector’s Edition DVD release has carried over too. Really the only thing that’s not included is the Okuda text commentary from the DVD, though the Library Computer feature mostly makes up for it. in HD was the awful looking DNR'ed and edge enhanced Blu-rays, well I’m glad to report things are a whole lot better.

Well, that is gone in favor of much more natural skin tones in this master. The 4K disk as mentioned also includes the Director’s Cut. Featuring the late and great René Auberjonois in the Colonel West Scooby Doo-esque subplot. This Limited-Edition Collector’s Set includes all of the above, plus an additional 4K Ultra HD disc containing: Ken Ralston on Models and Creature Effects Easter Egg (SD – 7:06)—Select ‘Right’ from the Production menu item The sets’ disks themselves are uninspired. They have the standard reflective silver no-art, an approach that has become a staple of Paramount Trek releases. Another weird addition is a disk-shaped cut-out of the boxset art that’s included in the 4K box for some reason. I can’t see the purpose of it, it certainly won’t be featured on my wall any time soon. The Artwork on the inner cases of the Star Trek Original Motion Picture 6-movie 4k & Blu-Ray Collection The Films – Technical advisories and historical context Below, we’ve compared the HD master used for the 1999 DVD release with the 2009 and 2022 Blu-ray editions — the soft blue tones reflecting the Sha Ka Ree “god” remain, but the overall lighting levels have been reduced for a less-blinding experience. Somebody finally found the brightness dial on planet Sha Ka Ree.Star Trek The Motion Picture - Director's Edition: BD-100 4K Ultra HD + BD-50 Blu-ray + Bonus BD-50 Original Interviews with William Shatner, Leonard Nimoy, DeForest Kelley, and Ricardo Montalbán (SD – 10:57) This exceptional collection includes four Ultra HD discs, as well as four remastered Blu-ray discs with hours of previously released bonus content. but as soon as the false-detailed 2009 image is added into the mix, it’s clearly an overcorrection which makes Takei’s face look pitted, adding ten years to his age! Heavy false-sharpening processes resulted in 2009’s leathery facial features.
