Supplements from the original release carry over. This set also includes a remastered Blu-ray disc, which It’s worth noting that this is one the titles KLSC licensed as part of their recent deal with Paramount. So watch for more such titles to be announced in the weeks and months ahead.

Again, the Archives section should include Production and Storyboard Galleries. We’ll need to see what trailers are included, and if the trio of Easter Eggs from the 2005 Collector’s Edition DVD are carried over. But at a glance, this looks like everything else from the original and 2005 DVDs, plus everything from the 2009 Blu-ray release as well. Star Trek: Insurrection (4K UHD + Blu-ray)

The other question not yet answered: when will these remastered versions of the Star Trek films land on streaming services? We know that the still-in-development Director’s Edition of The Motion Picture will arrive first as a Paramount+ exclusive, but there’s not yet any information on when we’ll see these other 4K editions outside of the Blu-ray format.

We start with Stephen, who’s turned in a look at Ivan Passer’s Cutter’s Way (1981), new on Blu-ray from Vinegar Syndrome. Next up, Dennis has delivered his take on Don Owen’s Nobody Waved Goodbye (1964) on Blu-ray, also from Vinegar Syndrome.

With the want for a lighter cheerier adventure, Star Trek: Insurrection manages to deliver an often beautiful 2160p HDR (Dolby Vision and HDR10) transfer. Much of this film is brightly lit with lovely exterior locations and it’s quite often stunning to look at. Details for the Ba’ku homes and village, the Son’a’s stretched faces, and your average human, android, or Klingon look terrific. Fine film grain is apparent throughout and looks appropriately cinematic without appearing smoothed over or modulated like some other Paramount catalog titles. The Star Trek Universe – We get some information about Star Trek as a whole as well as some of the characters, some of the visual effects and even a roundtable to boot. is a revelation compared to its previous bout on HD, being bright, detailed, well coloured and retaining a good grain structure, the image has never looked better. The sound has a very light upgrade to Dolby TrueHD 7.1 (from 5.1) but is still a bit front heavy, though dialogue and effects are well mixed and there is good bass. All the extras are ported over, but sadly nothing new has been added.

Plot: What’s it about? Video: How’s it look? Audio: How’s it sound? Supplements: What are the extras? The Bottom Line Plot: What’s it about? So as of this week, all 13 theatrically released Star Trek films are finally available in 4K and HDR. The latest releases also support the Dolby Atmos audio standard in addition to Dolby Vision HDR. I’ve also just spent most of today on the phone with industry sources, gathering information for our big preview of 4K Ultra HD catalog releases that are coming in the second half of 2021. And that’s the crux of today’s post here at The Bits, but more on that in a minute. Meanwhile, we expect Paramount to release Star Trek V: The Final Frontier, Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country, and the Star Trek: The Motion Picture – Director’s Edition on physical 4K UHD and remastered Blu-ray in September. We would expect an official announcement on that front sometime in the next month or so.

Star Trek First Contact 4K Video

The image shows no obvious print wear and practically no encode issues. This is far and away the best the movie has ever looked at home, and it is The 4K Star Trek film collection will make its way to the United Kingdom on September 6, and then to France on September 8, followed by Germany on September 9. For those of you in other locations, no specific dates have been announced — but Paramount’s Blu-ray and 4K collections are typically region free so you may be able to import as needed. Paramount is also releasing the comedy Reno 911! The Hunt for QAnon on Blu-ray and DVD on 7/19. One imagines that’ll be a hoot. Meanwhile, GKids (via Shout! Factory) will release Ayumu Watanabe’s 2021 anime Fortune Favors Lady Nikuko on Blu-ray on 7/19. In addition to confirmation that the Star Trek: The Motion Picture – Director’s Edition is finally being restored in 4K Ultra HD (see our post here), Paramount Home Entertainment has officially announced that (as expected) the Star Trek: The Original 4-Movie Collection will indeed arrive in stores on 9/7 (9/6 in the UK, 9/8 in France, 9/9 in Germany).
