And Stephen has delivered his in-depth take on AGFA and Something Weird Video’s nine-film, three-disc The Films of Doris Wishman: The Moonlight Years Blu-ray box set, distributed by Vinegar Syndrome. work, texture are free to breathe with essentially perfect definition from the film source. Facial and makeup details are razor sharp, and often incredibly Production – Six shorter featurettes that go over the basics like art, the overall story and a few behind the scenes segments. For the first time ever, experience the original four Star Trek films in stunning 4K Ultra HD. Newly remastered from original elements for optimal picture quality, each film is presented with Dolby Vision® and HDR-10. The audio mixes are effectively the same excellent lossless 5.1 Dolby TrueHD mixes that were released with the previous Blu-rays; however, this time it’s presented in 7.1 format. I will say I’m slightly disappointed they didn’t remix the movies in Dolby Atmos, but that isn’t a deal-killer by any means. The mixes were great in 2009 and still sound great on a modern surround system.
Editor’s Note: This title is also included in Paramount’s Star Trek: The Next Generation 4-Movie Collection box set.] It should be noted, however, that the content from the 2009 Star Trek: The Next Generation Movie Collection Blu-ray box set’s Evolutions bonus disc is not included here. So not included in these new 4K releases is the following: A documentary about Deep Space Nine released a couple of years ago featured small segments upscaled to HD to show what might be possible and there have been fan projects to do the same with AI, too. However, there hasn't been much movement on an official full series upscaling project.This exceptional collection includes four Ultra HD discs, as well as four remastered Blu-ray discs with hours of previously released bonus content.
And good news, international fans — while this new collection arrives in the United States and Canada on September 7, it’s not limited to North America! Paramount’s new 4K UHD release is a 2-disc set (UHD and Blu-ray). Each offers a simple menu interface featuring the theatrical poster artwork for the film. The 4K disc includes the following special features: While all of the other bonus features on the set are carried over from the previous Blu-ray editions ( fully detailed at the StarTrek.com announcement), the standard Blu-ray discs in this new collection appear to contain the newly-remastered picture — which is great for those of you who haven’t yet made the leap to 4K but are interested in the upgraded visuals on each film. Update: A previous version of this article failed to properly distinguish between the non-AI and AI techniques used in prior attempts to remaster portions Deep Space Nine. It was corrected in an update. Next up, Dennis has delivered his take on Don Owen’s Nobody Waved Goodbye (1964) on Blu-ray, also from Vinegar Syndrome.
The fundamental problem was the shoe-horned story; forcing Kirk and Picard together to face off against a common enemy must have look incredible on paper and it's little wonder the script developed the way it did, but it is a huge contrivance, and one that the film never really overcomes, with even that ending failing to lift it from mediocrity. An important regarding these shots: the Paramount+ caps below were taken from a non-HDR display, which does not present the truest look of the color from the new version of the film for still-frame web display.
The Dolby Vision color grading offers a stabilized color spectrum that is deeper and more accurate compared to the Blu-ray. The presentation handles
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! 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. more vivid colors as required, offering plenty of tonal jolt and brilliance when the situation warrants. 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.
That isn’t to say the whole film is without merit, there are some strong emotional pieces that show that meaningful attempts were made. LeVar Burton scores one of the most poignant moments of the film as the rejuvenating elements on the planet allow him to see the sunrise with his actual eyes for the first time. That’s the kind of thoughtful meaningful content I love to see in a Star Trek film or series episode. There are a few other fine moments, but not enough to completely salvage this operation. That said, large swaths of the classic Trek TV series aren't even available in HD, much less in 4K or HDR. All three seasons of The Original Series and all seven of The Next Generation got Blu-ray and digital HD releases in recent years, as well as Enterprise and The Animated Series, and all the new Paramount+ shows are in HD. But Deep Space Nine and Voyager are still only available in standard definition. It is nicely pronounced and effortlessly integrated, capturing a seamless and natural, straight-from-theaters filmic experience. With no scrubbing at
Star Trek Generations 4K Extras
I alluded to this in my review of Star Trek: Generations, but the Trek motion pictures have a different look and feel to them. The warm, natural hues found on the television show have been replaced by a more dark, corporate look that gives the film a bit of an edge. The big difference to me was the color. It’s taken me several years to accept that the main draw with 4K film isn’t so much the picture quality (detail), but rather the increased color spectrum. Others might have figured this out years ago, but I’m slow. That said, it’s a step above the Blu-ray and it’s what fans have been waiting for, to be sure. Audio: How’s it sound?
