![]() ![]() The “fix” has been detailed by the Twitter account TMP Visual Comparisons for readers who want more details and includes a video. It was covered in black fabric and quite frankly is hard to see, I’ve never once found it distracting in all my years of watching TMP and TWOK (where the footage is reused) it didn’t need fixing. There is a support arm for the Enterprise model that is briefly seen. There is one notable oddity with TMP and it must be called out: The drydock sequence appears to have been sloppily edited to try and “fix” something that really didn’t need fixing. Notice the details behind the Klingons can be seen, including smoke, sparks, and parts of the bridge. The Enterprise bridge explodes in the 2021 version. So these new versions of the films may at first appear “soft,” but that’s not correct what this new scan of the movies did was restore a natural filmic look to the movies (film grain), and finer details are more visible now. The biggest symptom of this over-processing is that faces looked waxy: The Voyage Home was one of the worst offenders. They were overly processed, which meant the natural look of film was often scrubbed out. The previous versions of the films which were released back in 2009 and then repackaged ever since had a number of shortcomings. Nitty-gritty details: Without a doubt the films look much better than they ever have on home video. The films also benefit from a restrained HDR grade that helps retain details in the brighter scenes. The wider color gamut of Ultra HD allows for richer colors for example, the “monster maroons” are a shade of rich deep red. They look like films again, far less processed than the previous releases, and that alone makes the set worth getting. The short version: These four movies look amazing. #4k ultra blu ray movies 1080p#These new versions of the 1080p Blu-ray movies will also be sold separately for those who haven’t made the leap to 4K/HDR. The Blu-ray discs feature the same newly restored versions of the films, just in 1080p. One has the Ultra HD Blu-ray versions of the movies, and one has standard HD Blu-ray discs. The boxed set comes with two 4-disc cases inside of it. There’s a separate project by Paramount+ and the folks who worked with Wise back in 2001 to make a new 4K version of the Director’s Edition that is expected to be released for streaming in 2022. ![]() It should be noted again that this set includes only the theatrical edition of TMP. And due to the grand scale and scope of Robert Wise’s film, it probably benefits the most from this new 4K transfer. The Motion Picture of course started it all in 1979, and while it’s cerebral style and more quiet pacing make it stand apart from the three Genesis Trilogy movies, it also has its admirers, myself included. ![]() From the return of Khan to the loss of Spock, the crew stealing the Enterprise and getting Spock back, and finally redeeming themselves by saving the future by going to the past to get a pair of humpback whales, the three movies are filled with action, adventure, and a lot of heart, which helped the films cross over to include mainstream audiences. The Wrath of Khan, Search for Spock, and The Voyage Home making an unofficial “Genesis Trilogy,” are considered by many to be fan favorites. The Wrath Of Khan disc follows the blueprint of the excellent 2016 standard Blu-ray of the Director’s Cut, and includes both the theatrical and director’s cut on the disc, thanks to seamless branching. This boxed set features the theatrical editions of The Motion Picture, The Search For Spock, and The Voyage Home. The classic Trek movies hold a special place in the hearts of many Trekkies-this was the only Star Trek we had until 1987, when The Next Generation premiered. #4k ultra blu ray movies series#The first four original series movies have been newly restored and released in Ultra High Definition here’s our review of the 4K UltraHD Blu-ray boxed set. ![]()
