Star Trek: The Original Motion Picture 6-Movie Collection Review: The definitive TOS film release has arrived

Star Trek: The Original Motion Picture 6-Movie Collection

For the past year, fans have enjoyed the first four Star Trek films on 4K in high-dynamic range (HDR) thanks to The Original 4-Movie Collection . That release marked the first time those movies were available on the top-tier home media format that is 4K/HDR, and we called it the definitive way to watch those movies. But, as they say, good things come to those who wait. One year to the day after that four-movie collection was released, Paramount Home Entertainment has unleashed what is now, for sure, without a doubt, the definitive Original Series movie collection: Star Trek: The Original Motion Picture 6-Movie Collection.

What’s in the box?

Forgetting the wordy name, bundled in this impressive box set are the first six Star Trek feature films. Excitingly, Star Trek V: The Final Frontier and Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country marks their debut in 4K/HDR with this release. Fans everywhere will be overjoyed at seeing some of the most important moments in Star Trek , such as Spock toasting a marshmellen or Kirk wrestling with himself, in all the fidelity 4K/HDR offers!

Let’s get the main contents of the box set out of the way:

• Additional Blu-ray with bonus content
• Star Trek: The Motion Picture (Theatrical Cut)  – Ultra HD & Blu-ray
• Includes  Director’s Cut (as released in 2016)
• Star Trek III: The Search for Spock  – Ultra HD & Blu-ray
• Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home  – Ultra HD & Blu-ray
• Star Trek V: The Final Frontier  – Ultra HD & Blu-ray
• Includes  Director’s Cut (as released in 2004)

Importantly, The Motion Picture – The Director’s Edition included in this release is the remastered version that was released earlier this year only on Paramount+. You can check out our interview with producer David C. Fein about what it took to bring this impressive version of the classic movie to life.

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.

(A side note: what did Walter Koenig or George Takai ever do to Paramount? Theirs are the only faces not seen on the covers of both the four-movie and six-movie collections outside the case!)

Video Quality

Does the video quality of these movies stand up to high expectations? They sure do! (For context, we watched these movies on an LG C2 OLED television). We already know the theatrical cut of Star Trek: The Motion Picture and Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan look fantastic in 4K/HDR thanks to last year’s release, and it’s safe to say the transfers of Star Trek V and VI from 1080p, which was the highest resolution available before today, to 4K is striking. It’s four times the number of pixels, after all. And the addition of color-boosting high dynamic range, which resolves a film’s colors in more natural quality, is the icing on the cake. If you haven’t seen these movies in a while, now is the perfect time to rewatch them. Likewise, newer fans who haven’t had the opportunity to see these classic movies now can do so in the most modern way possible.

A major attraction of this set is the inclusion of the recently released The Motion Picture – The Director’s Edition, which is itself a thorough remaster of 2001’s The Motion Picture – Director’s Edition, which added new VFX and trimmed scenes to make the movie flow more nicely. Before today, this remastered The Motion Picture – Director’s Edition was only available via Paramount+. No more! The inherent visual benefits of on-disc playback compared to streaming make this disc-based The Motion Picture – Director’s Edition an incredible treat for fans. We already knew an astonishing amount of time and effort went into making the 2022 version of The Motion Picture , and now the work of David C. Fein and his team can be seen in all its glory. Watch this one on the biggest screen possible.

(If you’re a Motion Picture superfan, there is a special, more elaborate release dedicated solely to this movie that includes a multitude of extras, including the first-ever widescreen presentation of the Special Longer Version of Star Trek: The Motion Picture , originally created for broadcast television in 1983.)

We want to take a moment to note our experience with The Final Frontier. That movie, released in 1989, is famous (or infamous) for less-than-ideal visual effects, even compared to its predecessors. If you see this movie in 4K/HDR, some scenes, like the journey across the Great Barrier or Sybok’s introduction in the desert, will look fabulous, with bright, vivid colors that show off landscapes and the creative but lower-budget visual effects done by Associates and Ferren.

On the flip side, some of the bad VFX, like some orbiting shots of the Enterprise or Kirk battling God, will look particularly bad thanks to the higher resolution and lack of any remastering work like The Motion Picture – Director’s Edition. Of course, that’s not a reason to skip what’s objectively the best Star Trek movie (especially considering Strange New Worlds seems to be inspired by the film ), just a heads-up that you should expect to see some ugliness. Star Trek V is really the only TOS film with this problem, as the beautiful model-heavy VFX done by Industrial Light and Magic for every other Star Trek movie other than The Motion Picture look fantastic in this collection. You’ll want to sell your old Star Trek movie discs, that’s for sure.

But I bought the Four-Movie Collection last year!

A quick note for those a little angsty about buying the four-movie collection last year, only for the six-movie collection to come out this year: we understand your pain. But just know each of these movies has its own standalone release. So, if you have the four-movie collection, you could buy Star Trek V and Star Trek IV individually to complete your TOS -era movie collection. Just know The Motion Picture included in last year’s collection was the theatrical cut only, and not the recently remastered Director’s Edition. You can get the remastered Director’s Edition individually here .

The fact that Paramount Home Entertainment is double-dipping with releasing a partial Star Trek movie collection last year only to release a complete collection this year is understandably frustrating for consumers. (The salt on the wound is that the six-movie collection and the four-movie collection share almost the same box art, albeit with a dark background for the newer collection along with a few new elements to reflect the additional movies.) The individual Blu-ray releases help soften the blow a bit, but we still must question why the back-to-back releases. Sure, they were probably trying to hit a sales mark by releasing the incomplete TOS movie collection last year, and perhaps the Star Trek V and VI transfers weren’t completed yet, but this release schedule likely just makes fans weary of any future movie collections Paramount wants to sell. We would have liked to see a discount given to verified owners of the four-movie collection, but alas…

What does a Star Trek fan need with this box set?

There’s no beating around the bush: if you are someone who values the disc-based video quality upgrade over streaming, and the ownership stability that comes with home media, there’s no reason not to get this collection. Not only does this set include every TOS movie and all available director’s editions, along with every extra feature under the sun, but these decades-old films will look as best they can if you have the necessary hardware. It’ll make the perfect addition to your home media cabinet, and the Star Trek fan in your life will thank you. It’ll certainly satisfy us media hounds until Paramount releases a TNG movie collection, which surely must be in the works.

Star Trek: The Original Motion Picture 6-Movie Collection is now available on Amazon .

Fully Restored Director's Edition of Star Trek: The Motion Picture Arrives on 4K Ultra HD

The original six big-screen adventures also arrive on 4K Ultra HD September 6 in time for Star Trek Day.

StarTrek.com

Set a course for the final frontier as the newly restored Star Trek: The Motion Picture—The Director’s Edition arrives September 6, 2022 on 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray™ with a bonus Blu-ray Disc™ filled with new and legacy special features from Paramount Home Entertainment. The film will also be released in a Limited-Edition Collector’s Set entitled “The Complete Adventure,” which includes the new Director’s Edition, the theatrical cut, and a special longer cut all on 4K Ultra HD along with special features on Blu-ray. In addition, Star Trek: The Original Motion Picture Collection will arrive on September 6 with all six big-screen adventures featuring the original series crew on 4K Ultra HD.

Star Trek: The Motion Picture - Director's Edition Remastered Trailer

Originally released in 1979, Star Trek: The Motion Picture became the fourth highest grossing movie of the year and earned three Academy Award® nominations for Best Visual Effects, Best Art Direction, and Best Music, Original Score. The film successfully launched the Star Trek franchise beyond the original television series, despite having been rushed to theaters with incomplete special effects and forced editing choices.

In 2001, director Robert Wise revisited the film to refine the edit and enhance the visual effects. His updated vision was released on DVD in standard definition and embraced by fans but has never been available in higher definition until now.  Meticulously assembled and restored by producer David C. Fein with post-production supervisor Mike Matessino, both of whom originally collaborated with Wise, the film has been prepared for presentation in 4K Ultra HD with Dolby Vision™ high dynamic range (HDR) and a new powerful and immersive Dolby Atmos® soundtrack. Fein and Matessino assembled a team of visual effects experts, led by returning visual effects supervisor Daren R. Dochterman, and utilized the extensive resources in the Paramount Archives to recreate the effects not just in HD, but in Ultra HD. After more than six months of painstaking work, the updated movie looks and sounds better than ever while staying true to Wise’s original intention.

“ The Director’s Edition on 4k Ultra HD delivers an experience that is far more intimate, engaging, and powerful thanks to the hard work of everyone involved,” said Fein.  “In building The Complete Adventure, we appreciated that many people who were first introduced to the film through the full frame release of the ‘Special Longer Version’ have missed it.  I’m excited that it will now be available for the first time in widescreen 4k Ultra HD. After so many years, it’s deeply rewarding to finally deliver Robert Wise’s definitive Director’s Edition for fans to enjoy at home.”

Storyline: Our Reviewer's Take

Since these discs have been published before or we've covered them in other reviews, we'll be excerpting the relevant content rather than doing one big long smash of reviews. 

Star Trek: The Motion Picture - Theatrical Cut

Star Trek The Motion Picture - Director's Edition

"Some new scenes were added, and some were trimmed down, but essentially this is the same film with a little different pace, different dialog cues, alternate takes, and new visual effects. I consider myself a fan of this edit, but then I also enjoy the Theatrical Cut too. I didn’t always love this movie, the first time I saw it as a kid was our VHS copy of the Longer Version. I thought it was slower than a slug and boring. It wasn’t  Star Trek II . But with every new disc release, I’ve gone back to this film and it has steadily risen in my favor. It had a lot of grand ideas and themes and it wasn’t simply a “pew-pew” laser blast popcorn movie. It tried to have the sense of adventure of the original show but the scale and grandeur of something like  2001: A Space Oddyse y complete with Douglas Trumbull visual effects. Of all the films in the original crew series, it’s the one most worth revisiting again and again. As much as I love  Wrath of Khan ,  Search for Spock ,  Voyage Home ,  Undiscovered Country , and yes even  Final Frontier  - they’re all pretty surface-facing films. Their themes and ideas are right there to grab. In comparison,  The Motion Picture  is a much deeper well to draw from and I always feel like I come away with something new."   4.5/5  

Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan   

"At the center of Khan's revenge against William Shatner's Starfleet Admiral James T. Kirk is the terraforming initiative called Project Genesis and a powerful device that could be weaponized. The plot doesn't carry the same weighty, pressing subject matter of its predecessor, but the sequel's ideas about mortality, rebirth and the cycle of life and death are no less heady and substantial. From Khan grieving the death of his wife to the literal birth of a new planet, the theme is prevalent throughout, impacting characters in various ways, even in Kirk grappling with the end of his tenure as Captain of the Enterprise and reconciling with his estranged son. With Meyer all the while aptly focusing on the camaraderie of Kirk, McCoy and Spock, the story skillfully builds to that emotionally memorable climax that has become a piece of cinematic history. And revisiting the film after countless viewings, the impact of that ending has not waned in the least."  4.5/5  

Star Trek III: The Search for Spock  

"For me, this has always felt like a blatant cheat on the part of the filmmakers, a complete dodge from genuinely grappling with the aftermath of Khan in a follow-up that's reputed to be about dealing with a major blow to the spirit of the crew. Naturally, we can't really have a Star Trek movie without Spock, and I completely understand the need for this. But this is essentially the equivalent of Kirk avoiding the "no-win scenario" of the Kobayashi Maru, and it seems like a missed opportunity for something truly great. Yet, in spite of my grumblings with Harve Bennett's plot, I admit enjoying Leonard Nimoy's film directorial debut. It's a fun third entry where Nimoy proves himself a skilled and talented helmer, navigating the action and drama with a great sense of adventure. At the same time, he gives fans a memorable and ruthless adversary in Christopher Lloyd's Kruge. The second entry in the so-called "Genesis Arc" storyline is somewhat of a letdown after two excellent installments, but all things considered, it's a competent Trek movie."   3.5/5   

Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home  

"My love for this fourth installment, however, is due to deeply personal reasons, from a major part of my life that makes me forgive the film's shortcomings. When it was made available on home video the following year after its theatrical run, I had only been in the U.S. for maybe three or four years. And although I was already familiar with and a fan of the  Star Trek series , Nimoy and Harve Bennett's fish-out-of-water story about time-traveling to present-day America oddly made a more lasting impression than the other movies or the show. I instantly related to Spock trying to make sense of the cultural norms and language, and I laughed at Chekov's pronunciation of vessel. Every time I sit down to watch the movie, I still find myself giggling at the silly humor while reminiscing on my childhood. For a young teen picked on for being an immigrant, movies and shows like  Star Trek  were my escapist solace, and the fourth entry, in particular, was one I could relate with the most at the time.  The Voyage Home  remains a fun and personally loved installment."    3.5/5

Star Trek V: The Final Frontier  

"And then there’s  Star Trek V: The Final Frontier … Well, you can’t blame Shatner for trying. After the trilogy success of  Wrath of Khan ,  The Search for Spock , and  The Voyage Home , Shatner pulled his contract weight ensuring he got to helm the film and oversee its development. He wanted to create a movie that returned Trek to its headier and loftier science fiction ambitions, but Paramount wanted more of that family-friendly humor that made  The Voyage Home  the highest-grossing entry of the entire franchise until 2009’s  Star Trek . This is a hallmark case of a movie that had a lot of ideas but wasn’t ready to film and so we have a bizarre mishmash of stories. The idea of the Enterprise discovering God at the center of the universe while being under the control of a Jim Jones-style zealot is certainly grandiose, but the film never lives up to its potential"   2.5/5 

Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country  

"To properly close out a generation of adventures,  Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country  brings back our original crew (with Sulu getting his own ship) for one last mission. After the abject failure that was the fifth film, this final voyage brought in franchise heavy hitter Nicholas Meyer from  Wrath of Khan  to right the ship and deliver a politically-charged and highly entertaining film. For all intents and purposes, this film is a rousing success helping bring a fitting close for the original crew with a bittersweet send-off that gives every member a true fan moment to shine. With Christopher Plummer as the Shakespear-spewing Klingon General Chang, we get a genuinely lethal bad guy for a story wrapped within a classic whodunnit structure letting Spock play detective while Kirk and McCoy get to wax philosophical about aging out of their universe."   4.5/5

Spanning six films over the course of ten years, the classic Original Crew cast of the starship Enterprise beams down to 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray for an exciting 15-disc (7-4K UHD + 8-Blu-ray) with Digital Copy set. This set includes the same 4K 4K UHD and Blu-ray discs from Paramount's previously released  Star Trek: The Original 4-Movie Collection   but now also includes relevant 4K UHD and Blu-ray discs assigned for the final two sequels as well as the fully restored  Director's Edition   of  Star Trek: The Motion Picture . The seven 4K UHD Discs are housed in a black Elite case with individual trays and are not stacked. You'll also find the two Digital Code slips in here one slip just for the  Director's Edition   with another slip featuring five codes for the other films. These codes are not Movie Anywhere compatible. The eight Blu-ray discs are housed in another blue elite case, again each disc gets its own tray without being stacked. The two cases are held together with a thin cardboard slipcase. 

Here's what you're getting in discs:

Star Trek: The Motion Picture - Theatrical Cut:  BD-66 4K Ultra HD +  BD-50  Blu-ray

Star Trek The Motion Picture - Director's Edition:  BD-100 4K Ultra HD + BD-50 Blu-ray + Bonus BD-50

Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan:  BD-66  4K Ultra HD +  BD-50  Blu-ray

Star Trek III: The Search for Spock:  BD-66  4K Ultra HD +  BD-50  Blu-ray

Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home:  BD-66  4K Ultra HD +  BD-50  Blu-ray

Star Trek V: The Final Frontier:  BD-66  4K Ultra HD +  BD-50  Blu-ray

Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country:  BD-100  4K Ultra HD +  BD-50  Blu-ray  

It's important to note that this set does not  include the Special Longer Version of  The Motion Picture   that was offered in the limited edition  Star Trek: The Motion Picture Director's Edition: The Complete Adventure . If you need to have that cut of the film in your collection, it's only going to be available in that set. Once that sells out Paramount has said it won't be offered again. I kinda doubt that myself, but we'll see. Collect and review enough discs, you know that anything is possible for future anniversary releases. If that cut will ever hit disc again it'd likely be in 2024 for the film's 45th Anniversary. 

Video Review

"The forty-plus-year-old movie also looks fresher and in better shape thanks to Dolby Vision HDR, which brings a welcomed improvement in contrast and brightness balance. The scenes in space display snappy, sparkling stars in the distance, engulfed in inky black emptiness, and specular highlights provide for tightly crisp whites in the lights and a realistic sheen along metallic surfaces. Shadow details could be a tad stronger, especially in the many poorly-lit interiors, but visibility in the darkest corners remains comparatively better than the HD version. Richard H. Kline's cinematography has a distinctively muted, restrained palette, favoring more browns and tans with a mix of various shades of blue, which counters the movie's campy origins. Nevertheless, those secondary hues appear fuller with good saturation levels and more variation while primaries, especially those aforementioned blues, are bolder and more animated, making for an otherwise attractive watch on 4K UHD."  4/5

Star Trek: The Motion Picture - Director's Edition 

"Of all the films of this franchise to hit 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray, the Director’s Edition received the most love and attention. In order for Robert Wise’s cut to come to the format, it required a complete ground-up restoration and reconstruction from the original 35mm negative elements as well as the original large format visual effects elements and the results are simply extraordinary. From small details in facial features and makeup to the incredible models used for the huge effects shots, this is some genuine restoration magic at work. Film grain appears to have undergone a little bit of management per Paramount’s usual workings, but nothing too intrusive or severe. It’s not the waxy mess of the original 2009 Theatrical Cut Blu-ray, there’s an actual grain structure to appreciate. Some of the original optical effects still appear a little dodgy, but others look tighter and clearer than ever before."  5/5

Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan

"Awash in a very fine layer of natural gain, the Dolby Vision HDR presentation also furnishes the forty-year-old film with a cleaner, livelier contrast balance and brighter whites throughout. It may not look it, at first, considering the filmmaker's deliberately dark, toned-down creative intentions, but the contrast is an improvement. And mixed with the richer, truer black levels and the strong shadow details, the 2.35:1 image comes with an attractive cinematic appeal and appreciable dimensionality, particularly in those scenes with Khan aboard the starship Reliant. Likewise, the cinematography of Gayne Rescher favors a more earthy, natural palette, bathing the visuals in richly-saturated browns, animated ginger-amber tones and deep rust-orange marigolds. Primaries are nonetheless accurately rendered and bolder than its HD SDR counterparts, such as the ruby-burgundy reds of the uniforms and vibrant, electrifying cobalt blues in the starship's computer consoles."   4/5

Star Trek III: The Search for Spock

"Unlike the previous two entries, cinematographer Charles Correll took a more colorful, vibrant approach to the second sequel, and his efforts really shine on UHD. The Dolby Vision HDR presentation displays a richly saturated palette, from the bold crimson red lighting and the deeper shade of burgundy in the uniforms to the electrifying blues and lively greens of the foliage and the Klingon ship. Moreover, the other earthy hues, oranges, and yellows are more animated and spirited, making the movie somewhat reminiscent of the original television series. Contrast and brightness balance also enjoy a welcomed boost, showering the action with brilliant, radiant whites and inky, velvety blacks with excellent shadow detail. The improved specular highlights add a crisp, tight sparkle to the stars, the lighting along the exterior of ships, and a realistic sheen to the various metallic objects."  4/5

Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home 

"The Genesis storyline comes to a close on Ultra HD with what appears to be the result of another true remaster of the original camera negatives although a few notable issues remain worth mentioning. For the most part, the HEVC H.265 encode shows a welcomed uptick in overall definition and clarity, from the discrete sharp details of the Klingon ship and the streets of San Francisco to the fine stitching in the costumes and the individual leaves of trees. In Dolby Vision HDR, the most striking gain comes from the improved contrast and brightness balance, bathing the 2.35:1 image with bright, vivid whites and true, inky blacks that allow for better visibility within the shadows and the darkest, poorly lit corners of the Klingon vessel. Specular highlights supply the visuals with a crisp, dynamic sparkle along metallic surfaces and a more brilliant but narrower glow in the hottest areas to reveal more of the finer details...All things considered, despite its less-than-satisfying distractions, the overall transfer is strong and marked upgrade over its HD SDR counterparts. Awash in a very fine layer of grain, the encode has a nice film-like quality fans will appreciate."  4/5

Star Trek V: The Final Frontier  

"While it may not be the fan favorite of the franchise,  Star Trek V: The Final Frontier  scores a damn good 2160p Dolby Vision (and HDR10) transfer. Pretty much every film that hit Blu-ray in 2009 was beaten with the DNR ugly stick so it’s actually a grand thing that this film actually looks like a film again. Film grain does look like it’s undergone a little of Paramount’s standard management touches, but it’s largely intact and present giving a genuinely cinematic appearance. Details throughout are fantastic allowing you to fully appreciate facial features, makeup effects, and costumes - even that silly three-brested cat woman creature thing that gets all of ten seconds of screen time looks fantastic. But at the same time, the cheap visual effects stand out even more than before. The fake El Capitan (where you can see the real El Capitan in the distance) looks even more obvious and any rear projection or optical shot is shoddy at best and noticeably stands out. But those are things that can’t be fixed. Dolby Vision HDR has been well applied to give a fresh appearance to the film with bold colors, bright whites, and deep inky blacks. Considering all things, this is a great effort for this film that’s largely cast aside when looking at the franchise as a whole."  4/5

Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country 

"Rounding out the original cast franchise,  Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country  comes home with a wonderful 2160p Dolby Vision transfer in Director Nicholas Meyer’s preferred 2.39:1 aspect ratio for both cuts. Because this film is the only one of the franchise shot largely on Super35, fine film grain is much more apparent than in the other films. But considering the horrible waxy DNR and dodgy edge enhancement of the 2009 Blu-ray, I’ll take a slightly noisy grain structure any day of the week. That 2009 disc is quite ugly by comparison. This new transfer gives you a full appreciation of facial features, clothing textures, and the impressive models for our various starships. It’s extra nice to finally fully appreciate all of the creature makeup work that’s on display in that Klingon prison camp."   4.5/5

Audio Review

"As far as I can tell, this Dolby TrueHD 7.1 soundtrack appears to be identical to the one enjoyed on the Blu-ray. Remaining faithful to the original sound design, the lossless mix is mostly a front-heavy presentation, displaying excellent acoustical details and clean separation in the mid-range, even during the loudest segments. Dialogue is intelligible and precise at all times, and an impressively robust low-end adds some appreciable weight and presence to the visuals. Although the surrounds are mostly reserved for Jerry Goldsmith's score, a few atmospherics move into the sides with satisfying effectiveness. When applying the receiver's Dolby Surround or DTS: Neural:X up-mixing functionality, the music and ambient effects effortlessly bleed and flow into the top heights to nicely enhance the soundfield."   4/5  

"The  Director’s Edition  also comes packed in with a genuinely fantastic demo-worthy Atmos audio mix. From the opening overture and credits into the Klingon attack, this is a big soundscape at work. Front, side, rear, and overhead channels all get their time in the sun. Even the quietest conversational scenes have something happening to keep those channels engaged. A little moment like the first time Kirk arrives on the bridge and everyone is too busy to notice him, the chitter-chatter among the crew circles the channels beautifully. Throughout, the dialog is clean and clear and never overpowered by other elements. If anything, it’s actually easier to hear a lot of dialog exchanges since this cut used a number of different ADR takes for some dialog and the extra channel space keeps the mix from sounding too stiff or closed up. Then you have the iconic Jerry Goldsmith score. I play this movie loud largely because his compositions are so magnificent, but they sound incredible here. There’s cleaner and clearer instrumentation giving you the full appreciation of the orchestra. The Klingon theme with those pulsing low notes and harp twangs set the stage for the LFE response for the rest of the film. Levels are spot on without any need to monitor or keep your thumb on the remote, but play it loud! When you have the rumble of ships’ engines rattling your subs, you’ll be glad you punched the volume as loud as your ears can tolerate." 5/5

Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan 

"Faithful to the original stereo design, the front-heavy presentation displays good channel balance with plenty of good background activity, especially during the action sequences to generate a relatively wide, broad soundstage. However, the mid-range isn't particularly dynamic or extensive, feeling more uniform and somewhat limited in the upper ranges, yet it maintains clarity and definition decently well in James Horner's score and during the loudest segments. The same can be said of the dialogue, but the conversations remain intelligible nonetheless. The low-end adds a bit of weight to the visuals but doesn't make much of an impression overall. There's little activity in the surrounds, mostly reserved for some mild bleeding and a few random ambient effects. The receiver's Dolby Surround or DTS: Neural:X up-mixing functionality does well in expanding some of these atmospherics into the top heights with satisfying effectiveness. All in all, it's an enjoyable lossless mix that does great to complement the on-screen visuals."  4/ 5 

Star Trek III: The Search for Spock 

"Once again, the second sequel lands on UHD with an identical Dolby TrueHD 7.1 soundtrack that's relatively faithful to the original stereo design. However, the front-heavy presentation is arguably stronger than its predecessors, displaying excellent balance and good fidelity with background activity that moves convincingly between the channels and into the off-screen space. The mid-range may not be particularly dynamic or extensive, but it maintains clean definition and appreciable distinction in James Horner's score and during the loudest segments, generating a broad, spacious soundstage during action sequences. While vocals are clear and precise, a hefty low-end provides some weight and presence to the on-screen visuals. There's little activity in the surrounds, mostly reserved for some mild bleeding and a few random ambient effects. The receiver's Dolby Surround or DTS: Neural:X up-mixing functionality does well in expanding some of these atmospherics into the top heights with satisfying effectiveness. All in all, it's an enjoyable lossless mix that fairs better than the previous two entries."  4/5  

"The time-traveling adventure arrives to home theaters with an identical Dolby TrueHD 7.1 soundtrack and is arguably the strongest of the lot. Almost immediately, the soundstage feels broad and welcoming as Leonard Rosenman's score fills the room with clean distinction and an extensive, room-penetrating mid-range. Background activity convincingly moves between the three front channels, generating a broad sense of space, and several atmospherics display excellent directionality, nicely extending the soundfield. When applying the receiver's Dolby Surround or DTS: Neural:X up-mixing functionality, those same effects appreciably bleed into the top heights with satisfying effectiveness. Dialogue is precise and very well-prioritized over the loudest segments, and a surprisingly robust, weighty low-end provides a palpable presence to the on-screen visuals, making for an outstanding listen and a really great lossless mix."   4/5

Star Trek V: The Final Frontier 

"Like the other films in this series to hit 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray, there isn’t an audio upgrade. We’re getting the same Dolby TrueHD 7.1 track as before and once again - that’s not a bad thing at all. This is still an active and engaging mix that keeps your attention with clean dialog, active sound effects, and the magnificent return of Jerry Goldsmith for the score! Using your DTS Neural:X or Dolby Surround function on your receiver certainly helps give this track a kick."   4/5

"And once again, like the rest of the 4K releases for this franchise - Paramount opted to recycle the same excellent Dolby TrueHD 7.1 audio tracks for both cuts of  Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country . Doing some disc flipping with the 2009 release, I didn't notice anything different. Sure, a new Atmos track like what the  Director’s Edition  enjoys would have been great but I’m not going to complain. This track is active and engaging with clean dialog, and great sound effects and Cliff Eidelman’s excellent score comes through without issue. Using my receiver's Dolby Surround function gave this track a little extra kick, especially for the battle sequences."   4/5

Special Features

Well... if you don't have any plans for the weekend, you could spend the entire time digging through all of the bonus content for each of these films and still not get through all of it! Each film has multiple audio commentaries on top of hours upon hours of featurettes, interviews, and making-of materials to pick through. Light a fire, unpack the Romulan Ale, and synthesize a few hundred marshmellons - you've got some work ahead of you!

Star Trek: The Original Motion Picture 6-Movie Collection   gathers together the original classic films featuring the complete series cast. Some went on to appear in later  Next Generation   films, but this is where you can see everyone manning their stations aboard the Enterprise. While each successive film may vary in terms of ambition and execution, it's difficult to dispute the consensus that these films are incredibly entertaining voyages. Even when the franchise is at its lowest point, there's still a nugget of an interesting idea at the center compelling you to look past the goofiness. The final film proves to be a bittersweet but emotionally satisfying final send off for the crew of great actors who began their interstellar journey to seek out new life and new civilizations. To boldly go where no other television series had gone before. 

For those who waited out Paramount Home Video's release schedule,  Star Trek: The Original Motion Picture 6-Movie Collection   collects all of the discs from the previous 4-Movie Collection and includes the newly released discs for  Star Trek V: The Final Frontier ,  Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country , and most importantly the fully restored  Star Trek: The Motion Picture Director's Edition . Each film offers a generally excellent 4K Dolby Vision (and HDR10) transfer - some benefit more than others - but they are without doubt or dispute a vast improvement over the waxy DNR and edge enhancement riddled 2009 discs. Each of these films will also be available in single title editions - so if you have that 4-Film set already or if you don't want everything bundled together, you can pick these up separately. One thing to keep in mind, the single set release of  The Motion Picture Director's Edition   does not come with a 1080p Blu-ray of the film, only 4K and the bonus disc. And to get the special Longer Version of  The Motion Picture   you need to pick up the limited edition  Star Trek: The Motion Picture Director's Edition: The Complete  Adventure . 

However - if you're a  Star Trek   fan who loves these films and needs to have them for your 4K shelf, this is a great set that conveniently packages nearly everything available.

Along with standalone 4K releases of Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan ,   Star Trek III: The Search for Spock , and  Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home — previously part of last September’s four-film collection — all six Original Series films are now going to be available in a new 15-disc collection arriving September 6.

New additions from the 2021 release include  Star Trek: The Motion Picture — The Director’s Edition (3 discs), Star Trek V: The Final Frontier (2 discs), and Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country (2 discs).

Full contents for the 15-disc collection which you can preorder today:

· NEW! Star Trek: The Motion Picture —The Director’s Edition (4K + Blu-Ray) · NEW! Star Trek: The Motion Picture — The Director’s Edition Bonus Content (BR) · Star Trek: The Motion Picture Theatrical Cut (4K + BR) · Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan Theatrical & Directors Cut (4K + BR) · Star Trek III: The Search for Spock (4K + BR) · Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home (4K + BR) · NEW! Star Trek V: The Final Frontier (4K + BR) · NEW! Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country Theatrical & Directors Cut (4K + BR)

Star Trek V: The Final Frontier (1989) will be presented in 4K UHD with HDR-10 and Dolby Vision, boldly remastered from the original film elements; a Blu-ray disc containing the remastered presentation will also be included. (A standalone Blu-ray is also available.)

Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country  (1991) will be presented in 4K UHD with HDR-10 and Dolby Vision, boldly remastered from the original film elements; a Blu-ray disc containing the remastered presentation will also be included. (A standalone Blu-ray is also available.)

Notably, this edition of  Star Trek VI will include Nicholas Meyer’s director’s cut of the film, which includes sequences cut from the theatrical edition — including the appearance of Rene Auberjonois as devious Starfleet strategist Colonel West, and some edits to the Spock/Valeris mind-meld sequence near the end of the film.

Those scenes have previously been available only on VHS, DVD, and in certain streaming-service presentations of the movie; this will be the first time the Star Trek VI director’s cut will be available in high definition on home media.

After beaming down to Paramount+ back in April, the long-awaited 4K remaster of  Star Trek: The Motion Picture — The Director’s Edition is finally arriving on disc September 6, in a two-disc set packed full of new behind-the-scenes bonus content (as well as bonus features from previous releases).

While a two-disc standard Blu-ray release is also available, the two-disc 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray edition will feature The Director’s Edition in Dolby Vision and HDR-10, as well as with a Dolby Atmos sound mix for those of you with supporting home theater systems.

Here are the full contents:

DISC ONE · NEW! Audio Commentary with David C. Fein, Mike Matessino, and Daren R. Dochterman · Audio Commentary by Robert Wise, Douglas Trumbull, John Dykstra, Jerry Goldsmith, and Stephen Collins​ (from 2001 DVD release) · Text Commentary by Michael and Denise Okuda​ (from 2001 DVD release) DISC TWO · NEW! The Human Adventure —An all-new 8-part documentary detailing how the Director’s Edition came to life – Preparing the Future: How the remastering began – A Wise Choice: The storied history of Robert Wise – Refitting the Enterprise: How the Enterprise design shaped future federation starships – Sounding Off: Exploring new dimensions of sound in Dolby Atmos – V’ger: The conception and restoration of an iconic alien antagonist – Return to Tomorrow: Reaching an already high bar with new CGI effects – A Grand Theme: Behind the iconic, influential music score that shaped the franchise’s -future – The Grand Vision: The legacy and evolving reputation of this classic movie · NEW! Deleted Scenes · NEW! Effects Tests · NEW! Costume Tests · NEW! Computer Display Graphics · Additional legacy bonus content

While the new commentary from the trio of driving forces behind the  Director’s Edition is a lovely inclusion, the one thing this does seem to be missing is the 2007 audio commentary track Fein, Matessino, and Dochterman recorded for the DVD edition of the film which we’ve saved in the TrekCore archives here for posterity — so if you want that for your legacy DVD copy of The Director’s Edition , you’re welcome!

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.

Producer David C. Fein also confirmed the “Special Longer Version” 4K edition will include one shot of previously-unfinished VFX, which we’ve learned will be a fix for the infamous exposed-rafters shot from Kirk’s spacewalk departure.

There is one previously unfinished vfx shot, yes. — David C. Fein (@DavidCFein) July 6, 2022

The “Special Longer Version” (also known as the “ABC cut”) included nearly 12 minutes of additional footage not seen in the theatrical edition which originally aired on ABC in the United States in 1983 and had a decent life on home media up until the mid-1990s. This will be the first official release of this cut of  The Motion Picture  since its last VHS edition in 1991.

Beyond two additional cuts of the film (which will not be on the standalone 4K release of The Director’s Edition ), the additional on-disc bonus content will be identical to the standalone TMP:DE set.

Full contents:

· NEW! Star Trek: The Motion Picture —The Director’s Edition (4K) · NEW! Star Trek: The Motion Picture — The Director’s Edition Bonus Content (Blu-ray) · NEW! Star Trek: The Motion Picture Theatrical Edition + Special Longer Version (4K)

Along with the on-disc content,  The Complete Adventure also includes replica  Motion Picture promotional material, stickers, poster art, and more in its oversized packaging. The limited edition The Complete Adventure set also arrives September 6 and is available for preorder today.

As for the four  Star Trek: The Next Generation films, while not announced for 2022, we highly expect them to follow on 4K Blu-ray in 2023 to coincide with the return of the TNG cast in the third and final season of Star Trek: Picard; the remastered edition of  Star Trek: First Contact is already available on Paramount+.

In the meantime, let us know what versions of the classic  Star Trek films you’re going to be adding to your own collection as we wait for September to get here!

Star Trek 4K 6-Movie Collection Boxset Review

Coming to our screens straight from the 70s, 80s, and 90s is this year’s Star Trek 4k 6-Movie Collection . From The Motion Picture to The Undiscovered Country . The movies have all been re-mastered for the second time this century, this time in 4K. This release follows on from last year’s I – IV set. This, at the time, oddly omitted the final two silver screen outings for the original cast on 4k and blu-ray. But what would we Trek fans be if not eagerly ready to double dip? Especially on what will likely be the ultimate releases of these films.

Fortunately, for those that purchased last year’s 4-movie set. Or those that really, really hate The Final Frontier . The films have all now been released separately. Before picking up the 6-movie set, it’s worth noting Star Trek: First Contac t was spotted in 4K on Paramount+ US earlier this year. So there’s a good chance The Next Generation movies will follow soon. So, if you want to be a little more frugal, it’s worth waiting for a complete movie set.

Although much like they did with the original blu-ray masters back in 2009, they may (and are likely to) release a TOS and TNG package separately alongside the complete set. 

The Packaging

The Star Trek 4k 6-Movie Collection box set includes the new masters in HDR and on standard Bluray. But trust this reviewer when he says that it’s worth buying one for The Motion Picture Director’s Cut alone. The disks themselves come in two ‘jumbo’ blu-ray cases. One for the 4K disks (in black) and one in the traditional blue for the standard Blu-Rays (including The T MP bonus disk).  The cover art continues the theme of last year’s release. A somewhat scattergun approach portraying The Original Series cast with images used from at least three different films. Also included are their villains and, oddly enough, the Phase II Enterprise again. The Star Trek 4k 6-Movie Collection’s inner cases have the same key art but are strangely utilized to create tall, cut-off portraits of Kirk, Spock, McCoy, Scotty, and Uhura. Even weirder, the art is still the same on the 4K and standard Blu-ray cases. You would have thought they would swap Uhura and Scotty out for Chekov and Sulu on one, at least. 

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 Films – Technical advisories and historical context

My review of the Star Trek 4k 6-Movie Collection is based on viewing via a 4K HDR display. It has been noted in other reviews that the downsampling of the 4K scans to 1080p for the Blu-ray has led to some scenes feeling overly bright. This is partly due to the lack of HDR on that format, and a soft colour shift under some lighting, the screencaps provided here are from the Blu-rays.

In another oddity of this set, the Director’s Cut of The Undiscovered Country is only available in 4K. The Dolby Atmos logo is plastered all over the sets, but The Motion Picture Director’s edition is the only film with an Atmos track. While some may fondly put their 2009 master copies of the films on the TV and enjoy the experience, as a film student at the time I always found them oddly off-putting and ‘unnatural’ looking. It wasn’t until I discovered the process that had been used in their creation – Digital Noise Reduction (DNR) – that I understood why.

When the prints were scanned for blu-ray, at the time it was popular to erase the 35mm film grain much loved by more ‘traditional’ directors. To do this an automated tool went through and essentially blurred the image until it was no longer apparent, then went back through and sharpened the image to give the appearance of the resolution being restored. 

The film that suffered from this the most and so is most improved since the 2009 master in this release was The Undiscovered Country . Spock especially in various shots looked like he’d been taken right off a plinth at Madame Tussauds. I’m pleased to say this release has corrected the overzealous use of DNR. However, fair warning to those used to their 2009 blu-rays – the image does now appear softer – but this is as the directors intended. 

The Motion Picture – Directors Edition

Following the Paramount+ release in the US, the director’s edition of The Motion Picture has finally hit UK shores. While it certainly is an odd choice only to give this version of the film an Atmos track, it has never sounded or looked better. A lot of work has gone into this grounds-up remaster and it shows, building on the template Robert Wise set out in 2001 this film finally feels close to what TMP should have been from day 1. For example, the wonky effects shots are gone in favor of re-composited original footage that was found during the remaster and the odd bit of CGI to fill in the gaps – but you wouldn’t be able to tell while watching. 

My memory, like I assume many others, is of TMP as a fairly colorless film (in no small part due to costuming choices). This release has turned that on its head. The film truly ‘pops’ for lack of a better term in a way I never thought possible. It’s clear it’s been a labor of love for those involved and the light bouncing off the hull of the Enterprise truly makes you appreciate the artistry of those that built that iconic model.

The Wrath of Khan

The most popular of the original cast’s filmography finally makes it to 4K in a physical format! After causing many raised eyebrows following the 2015 re-release of the Director’s Cut and Theatrical editions only on standard blu-ray. Only for it to be spotted in the following years on the likes of iTunes in 4K. This release is however the least interesting in this box set given that it is just a re-release (on blu-ray at least), however like with the other films the HDR really elevates the color to another level. Unsurprisingly, the later scenes of the movie are the ones that benefit the most, the iconic 1701 reaches a new level of beauty pitted against the backdrop of the Mutara nebula as James Horner’s score fills your speakers.

The Search for Spock

The 2009 release of The Search for Spock , often referred to as the un (or less) loved middle child of the Genesis trilogy, was plagued with several issues. Colour timing – for example, the Enterprise bridge had a blue hue, not red, after its final battle. Then the opening credits are pillar boxed – a change that wasn’t present in any previous (or now later) release. I’m happy to report these issues alongside the DNR mentioned above have been fixed. Returning the film to what is likely to be the closest to the opening night theatre experience that we will get. While some effects shots don’t hold up too well, thinking specifically about Kruge’s fall. The majority of the film makes the journey to 4K in good standing. The destruction of the Enterprise and the death of David remain an emotional one-two gut punch. Additionally, the vibrant sunset as the Enterprise streaks across the sky takes on new life with HDR.

The Voyage Home

The joyous time travel romp that closes out the Genesis Trilogy was one of the better, though still troubled parts of the 2009 release. It was helped in a lot of ways by the nature of the film and how it took place on contemporary Earth. I imagine this made the color timing easier for those doing the master back in 2009, but there were still plenty of issues. Most notably the odd cyan tint that seemed to affect almost everything. 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. This new master fixes those issues and returns the film to its delightfully 80s natural state. It also reflects the sunny conditions under which a number of scenes were shot instead of it looking somewhat gloomy, much in contrast to the general tone of the film.

The Final Frontier

Despite having a bit of a tongue-in-cheek resurgence with its many references in Star Trek: Lower Decks The Final Frontier doesn’t hold a high position in many fans’ rankings. The film suffered from budget issues that are apparent throughout, especially in the effects department with it being the first Trek film not to rely on the talents of Industrial Light & Magic due to budget constraints. 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. This is thankfully fixed in this version, while also giving us a split-second look at the cut-for-budget rock monster that was originally intended to make an appearance and later found life in Trek fan favourite film Galaxy Quest .

The Undiscovered Country

We now come to the final Trek film to grace our screens in 4K (at least until – fingers crossed – next year) and it’s The Original Series casts swan song. This film when released in 2009 was a tough watch. On top of the DNR, there were also the color timing changes which amongst other things made Spock look slightly green and ill in many sequences. 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. Much of the effects work is improved as well with improved contrast in HDR, be fairly warned though that this does not include the very 90s CG pink blood. Which sticks out like a sore thumb to this day (while also making no sense with every other Klingon appearance).

If you’re looking to re-live the theatre experience of the original casts’ movies, you’re not going to get any closer than having the Star Trek 4K 6-Movie Collection editions with a good quality screen, some may argue it’s even an improved experience. Having only watched the Director’s Edition and Wrath of Khan re-release in cinemas this past summer in the UK I won’t make that claim on behalf of all of the films though.

It’s undeniable that these are improved (even on the standard Blu-ray versions) over the 2009 masters though. The films all have a much more natural look to them and are rid of (invented) excess detail. The Star Trek Original Motion Picture 6-Movie Collection is available now from all retailers.

‘Star Trek: The Motion Picture’ Directors Edition 4K UHD Blu-Ray And TOS Movies Collection Coming In September

| July 6, 2022 | By: TrekMovie.com Staff 85 comments so far

The ultimate version of director Robert Wise’s definitive edition of the first Star Trek feature film is finally coming home this fall. Paramount has announced the release of Star Trek: The Motion Picture – Directors Edition on 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray, including a special limited edition release. They are also putting out a new collection (and individual releases) of the first six Star Trek movies.

Bring home TMP and all the TOS movies in 4K

Paramount Home Entertainment just announced that the newly restored Star Trek: The Motion Picture—The Director’s Edition  will arrive September 6, 2022 on 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray with a bonus Blu-ray Disc that includes new and legacy special features. The film will also be released in a Limited-Edition Collector’s Set entitled “The Complete Adventure,” which includes the new Director’s Edition, the theatrical cut, and the special longer cut (originally broadcast on ABC in 1983), all on 4K Ultra HD, along with special features on Blu-ray. In addition, Star Trek: The Original Motion Picture Collection will arrive on September 6 with all six big-screen adventures featuring the original series crew on 4K Ultra HD.

The Director’s Edition of Star Trek: The Motion Picture was first released on DVD in 2001. In 2021, producer David C. Fein, post-production supervisor Mike Matessino, and visual effects supervisor Daren R. Dochterman returned to revise the Director’s Edition into 4K Ultra HD with Dolby Vision and high dynamic range (HDR). This new version was initially released for streaming exclusively on Paramount+ in April (see TrekMovie.com review )

“The Director’s Edition on 4k Ultra HD delivers an experience that is far more intimate, engaging, and powerful thanks to the hard work of everyone involved,” said Fein in a statement. “In building The Complete Adventure, we appreciated that many people who were first introduced to the film through the full frame release of the ‘Special Longer Version’ have missed it. I’m excited that it will now be available for the first time in widescreen 4k Ultra HD. After so many years, it’s deeply rewarding to finally deliver Robert Wise’s definitive Director’s Edition for fans to enjoy at home.”

Star Trek Coffees Launching In May With Several Blends

Sothey aren’t making a separate bulk package for 5,6, and The Director’s Edition? I have to buy them separately if I already have the original motion picture set they released last year? So, another cash grab? Great.

As a collector, I like uniformity. First world problems I know. But c’mon. Ridiculous.

I’m sure you will be able to get them separately on Ebay from vendors who break them up for individual sales.

You will. They state that above. My frustration is that there is not just a 5, 6, and TMPDE package. Everybody paid $75 a year ago for the four film package. Now we’ll have to $100 for the same stuff all over again.

Actually….a lot of us knew they were gonna pull this, but I imagine they only bothered with the rest because last years’ sold well so…..thank you for your service! …………*tip toes off stage right*

Good point!

Surprised nobody is pissed that the extended cut of TMP is an exclusive mega set and not getting a standard blu. There will always be someone not happy.

(Raises hand) Me-! I don’t care for all the merchandising trinkets and I already have the theatrical cut in the previous box set, so basically I’m paying £35 just to get the extended cut. Still – it’s what I expected, so can’t complain too much.

It’s the extended cut that has all kinds of mistakes. So not a big deal. The stuff that matters is in the DC. I don’t need need to see Kirk’s space suit change in every scene in the V’ger sequence.

I understand, but I am buying TMP, V, and VI separately since I don’t want to buy 2-4 yet again. It won’t be in one box, but I’ll save a bit of money.

I’d love to have seen the standard Star Trek TMP DE 4K release include a Blu-ray copy of the DE, as well as 4K and Blu-ray disks of the Theatrical Edition. Since I don’t have a 4K setup yet, and cannot justify the funds for the Complete Adventure, I would likely have to have the Blu-day versions if V, VI and the DE for now (I have individual Blu-rays of the remastered I thru V). Otherwise, I’d have to simply pony up for the 6 movie set to get everything related to all 6 to be future proofed on all 6 films at once.

They have blu ray edition of ST DE remaster.

Kinda what I said. ;) I since decided to get the 6 film collection and sell on my remastered Blu-rays for TMP, II, III and IV (as they would be duplicates. This gives me everything I want (No interest in the TV cut) and future-proofs me for going to 4K. An expensive thing, but it closes the book on these films, IMHO. If they do a similar set for the 4 TNG movies next year (likely, IMHO), I’ll cross that bridge then.

Looking forward to the BD of TMP. I’d like to finally see this in HD. Not interested in the 4K versions of the other films. What they really need is a BD version of the others. From what I understand only WoK was upgraded to HD on the original BluRay set.

All of the other films have been available on Blu-Ray for years at full 1080P resolution. What you’re talking about is that the only WOK and TMP have been ‘remastered” to give the best 1080P or 4K viewing experience possible.

What I am talking about is the BD movie set that became available in 2009 if I recall correctly. They had but one true HD transfer. WoK. The rest where not upgraded. Including TMP. Which was the original theatrical cut, not the Director’s cut that was released on DVD prior. And one could tell when watching the disks. Other disks were subsequently released some 4 years or so later but from what I read they weren’t in HD for some reason. If they came out in HD sometime since 2016 or so then I was unaware of it.

The Blu-rays included with this set, either in the 15 disc box or the individual cases, are all remastered from the 4k transfers and are HD and superior to the 2009 Blu-rays.

While they (I am talking about Trek III, IV, V and VI) are new 4K transfers from an existing film print, I have yet to read whether they have done a full remastering/restoration effort on these films. If they haven’t, then for the marginal difference in quality, I will not be buying 4K’s on those four movies.

And both the 2009 and 2016 Blu-Rays were true 1080P transfers, not just upscaled DVD’s. The quality of them wasn’t at great as it could be though because they did not do a full remastering/restoration of those, like what was done this year for TMP and in 2017 for WOK.

BTW, if someone got Trek BD’s and they look clearly like upscaled DVD’s then they must have illegally sold pirated discs.

Yeah, whatever criticism one has of the 09 discs, it shouldn’t be based on the misconception that they are upscaled dvds, cuz they clearly ain’t. Although I’m a huge critic of DNR — see PATTON for the best evidence why — I honestly found the 09 transfers — especially TMP — to very closely resemble my theatrical experiences of the films, for better and for worse. If you look at the close shot of pre-wormhole Kirk and McCoy on the bridge on the 1980 calendar, THAT is exactly how the movie looked to me in the theater, and the 09 seemed to match that very closely (not a fan of the lighting at all, but reproduction seemed accurate as all get out.)

I hadn’t intended to buy the four disk version that came out recently, mainly because I think they have damaged the VFX irreparably (mainly on TMP) with their new smoothing to try to hide matte lines, but nearly all of my 09 blu rays started hanging up in both of my machines in the last few months, plus I found a new set of the 4k/blu combos for under $40, so it didn’t seem like too bad of a deal. Am still unsure if I’ll even ever watch the latest ‘director’ version, as I’ve found most of the changes by these folks to be downgrades or sidegrades rather than improvements.

I suppose if I had the time and skillset, I’d try to import the original theatrical soundmix over the director cut in order to keep the wormhole scene sounding threatening. Ever since the original DE version, the sound in the wormhole scene, especially the alert siren, has wrecked the sequence for me, and it actually makes me think each time I tried to watch it (before I gave the disk away, about a decade back) of the bit in KENTUCKY FRIED MOVIE’s ‘fistful of yen’ sequence where you see somebody looking like Eddie Deezen making an ‘alert’ sound with his mouth during an action sequence. But then that’d still leave the things that any new cut should have changed and didn’t, like the guy fleeing Epsilon 9, which is still among the worst looking things I’ve ever seen in a major motion picture.

I have the 2009 box set and the difference from WoK to the other 5 is pretty clear. I then read that WoK was indeed the only one that got the actual full HD transfer. So while the subsequent releases may be true HD rest assured the 2009 set 5 of the 6 were not. And no, it was obviously not some pirated or illegally sold set. That’s just nuts.

I just went back and read the original HighDefDigest-dot-com reviews of the 2009 Blu-Rays. All are full 1080 HD transfers from film prints to BR, but WOK special restoration work so it looks better. None of the movies are SD transfers to Blu-Ray.

Yea, the 2009 BR’s are 1080P HD transfers, not SD transfers to BR.

all of them were true HD scans / transfers – only WoK got restoration work done. (Until TMP)

Bring on the director’s and improved edition of Star Trek V!

You can’t make a silk purse out of a sow’s ear.

Final Frontier is the first Trek I saw in the theater , so it is special to me.

Also think it is the best looking Enterprise , interior and exterior, of the first six movies and I also really like how much it feels like an episode.

I get that! :-)

TFF is the last Trek movie I flat-out loved, so it is special to me for that reason. And I think a lot of the interiors are very nice, and it is easily my favorite bridge, though the less said about the exteriors, the better!)

The effects were awful. You would have to redo all of them. They don’t have the filming model of the Enterprise anymore. Jerry Goldsmith isn’t alive to rescore new scenes. At best you could do a cgi directors cut. And reuse the already composed music.

I’ve seen a few fan recreations using CGI. Some are subpar, others are pretty good. It could be done. The script though…

That is exactly how I meant it. 😉

i really don’t get why paramount released the film in that condition. from using trumball ,d ykstra and ILM to these awful FX shots is a travesty that undercut the film’s chances at the box office

They didn’t have a choice, either the vendors were busy or they didn’t have the dough

I was just about to say release the Shatner cut.

Yes. The Shatner cut with new enhanced effects which are on pair with the other movies and how they were meant to be. By the way: you could add some “new” canon and give him the line “how could I kill the brother of Michael Burnham”… lol.

Please do update us. We want that TMP box set!!!

Will be getting that boxed set on Day 1 of release! Thanks!

I will be getting the deluxe TMP set because it has the Special Longer cut. I don’t care its like a hundred bucks. I’ll be getting the V and VI 4k combos as well because i already have the 1-4 set. When is the TNG movies coming?

I am going to be waiting until they do a remaster of VI before I plunk down $$ for the 4K version, as I am skeptical that the existing non-remastered print of that film will look much different in quality to my eyes than my existing 1080P Blu-Ray of that film.

I kind of want the home video version in 1080P and 4K but i understand why it is the theatrical and the directors cut only being upgraded. The initial home video cut was never in HD.

Wan’t the home video cut the same cut as the DC?

nope. The DVD cut put in new inserts when Spock is doing his mind meld with Valeris. As the names of the conspirators are revealed. Its not in the original home video cut.

I double checked. Yes, the DC is the same cut as the 113 min. Cut that was on VHS and DVD

Was really looking forward to watching TMP DE on Paramount+ when it launched in the UK (feck you, P+, I wasn’t asking for much!). Thoroughly excited for September now.

I’d like to see the proposed tv-pilot-version with the Phase-II model of the Enterprise and “demastered” effects. 😉

I saw it in the theatre, was suitably impressed by the sound design and enhanced visuals, and will doubtless buy it. But, make no mistake — this is still 1979’s STAR TREK; THE MOTION PICUTURE, with all its faults and virtues still mostly intact. If you can live with the former because of the latter, by all means have at it.

So….wait. In order to get the TMP Directors Edition Bluray, I have to buy it separately from the 4K UHD disc…even in the The Complete Adventure set???

That’s just absolutely frustrating. I was hoping to get both in one package like the rest of the films. I don’t have anything to play 4K ultra yet but it would be nice to have had both in a single set for when I do. Gah. Paramount…be consistent for goodness sake.

If you don’t have anything to play 4K UHD yet then simply get the separate Bluray disc. If you ever decide to upgrade your playback equipment to 4K in the future chances are good that the 4K discs will be much cheaper by then than they are now.

Also the Special Longer Version is 4K only, and only in that hundred dollar set. So if all you do is Blu-Ray you can’t watch it. It is an exclusive. It isn’t unheard of Warner released the 70mm version of Superman exclusive to 4K, Paramount only put out the remastered Indiana Jones sets in 4K, and reprinted the earlier blu sets. Batman Begins was remastered exclusively for 4K and so on. Lucasfilm only bundled the remastered Star Wars sets in the USA with the 4K and in the best buy Saga set, the standard DVD and the blu rays were the older transfers.

I’ll just order the UK version as it apparently has the bluray of the new DE.

If only I had anything that played physical media any more. :)

Except my turntable and records.

Don’t tell my wife I’m getting the $100 Star Trek: The Motion Picture—The Director’s Edition—The Complete Adventure 4K Ultra HD set!!!! Sure I might have to buy a 4K Blu-Ray player for the discs to work and my 2009 DLP TV can’t do 4K, but I don’t care.

Do I need help?😁

I pre-ordered the $100 TMP set, AND bought a 4k player and TV… And the wife didn’t kill me. (Helps I got an amazing price on the TV, and recently got a bonus at work…)

Don’t own any 4k discs yet, but damn, do I see a difference even with a regular blu-ray disc. The wife even commented on how clear everything looked.

The Director’s Edition is the best version of the film, but I will be happy to see the TV cut again. Curious how the shot of Kirk leaving the ship will look with the proper background put in place. (Funny I am excited to see that, but still upset that the 4k Director’s Edition fixed Spock & McCoy’s arm band color switch-a-roo.)

But if you need help, I need more help!

Being distinctly underwhelmed by what I’ve seen and heard about the new DE TMP, I was going to pass on purchasing-but that Complete Adventure boxset is just too tempting. i don’t yet own the 4K theatrical, those collectors items look nice, and I loved the SLV as a kid and would love to own it in better than decent quality. Resistance is futile I think. Interestingly, the UK preorder price on Amazon is £60-around $82-so what’s with the $100 price tag stateside? I hope it doesn’t mean we Brits are getting fewer discs/special features in the set?

Long version is my favorite cut of the movie, but $97 for it? Jeez.

I’m glad I have the 50th Anniversary set with all the documentaries included with it , because I don’t think aside from maybe the Khan documentary any of those are part of these sets.

The Complete Adventure UK version comprises 5 discs (three 4K discs and two blu rays) according to Amazon and HMV. The US version has three discs, according to Amazon.com and Bluray.com (two 4K discs and one blu ray). However, we Brits don’t receive digital copies with our discs, so I’m assuming that one of those extra blurays is a replacement disc of the movie in lieu of a missing digital code? And according to Amazon, the DE is in the set on both 4K and blu ray, but that only seems to be the case in the UK version. It’s a bit confused at the moment, and some of this info may well turn out to be wrong, but no doubt we’ll be updated here soon with confirmation of set contents. In any case, I’m legitimately excited!

Correction: two 4k discs and three blu rays in the UK set.

Interesting. I have high-end Region Free 4K Panasonic BD players, so I have the option of ordering those from Amazon UK if it’s a better set. Thanks!

That’s cool. But assuming Amazon UK’s info is correct, the set is region free anyhow.

Oops, scratch that. The 4K’s would obviously be region free, but the blu rays would likely be region B…

I’ll be ordering the UK version if that’s the case.

I’m pretty sure the extra discs on the set-with one version of the film per disc-would be there to replace the digital codes which Brits won’t get. That seems logical. So overall content for both versions will be the same, with no-one being short-changed. The only notable difference is that while US consumers will probably receive their second copy of the DE as a digital file (in possibly up to 4K quality), British consumers will likely have their second version of the DE as a 1080p blu ray. So, for US customers the decision regarding which Complete Adventure set to purchase will be based (aside from region coding issues) on whether their preference is for all-physical media, or a combination of physical and digital.

From what I saw on Amazon, I believe all the disks are region free.

As far as I can tell, this is how the sets break down…

US 3 Disks – 4K of DE (Same as 4K standalone and 6 movie set) – 4K of Theatrical and SLV (Exclusive, seamless branching) – Blu-ray of DE Special Features (Same as 4K standalone, Blu-ray standalone and 6 movie set)

UK 5 Disks – 4K of DE (Same as 4K standalone and 6 movie set) – 4K of Theatrical and SLV (Exclusive, seamless branching) – Blu-ray of DE Special Features (Same as 4K standalone, Blu-ray standalone and 6 movie set) – Blu-ray of DE (Same as Blu-ray standalone and 6 movie set) – Blu-ray of Theatrical with Special Features ( Same as Blu-ray standalone from last year and 6 movie set )

That’s how it looks. Of course the US set should also include a digital code for the DE, and possibly another for the theatrical version.

Honestly, as much as I want the theatrical cut and the Special, Longer Version of TMP, the packaging of The Complete Adventure (plus the price) kills interest for me as the discs slot into the cardboard packaging and those ALWAYS rip or stretch over time. I’ll be buying the individual releases of all 6 movies. Or at least TMP and TUC, since I don’t have a 4K set-up yet and I have the 2009 releases of the others (plus the Director’s Edition of TWOK).

Will there be a UK pre order up soon for the six movie set?

I look forward to the longer version originally aired on ABC. I got that on VHS in the 1980s and that is the version of TMP I grew up with. Finally……….

Hope they fix the observation lounge scene from the HD remaster.. that scene is just so badly rotoscoped and VFX’ed that it’s actually distracting…

Agreed. Hopefully that got a little extra love before they committed it to disc.

Why no announcement of 5 and 6 being released in the UK, I wonder?

Having recently purchased the Director’s edition of The Motion Picture on dvd (yes this is the first time I have seen it!) I had a thought after buying the Wrath Of Khan Director’s cut which also includes the theatrical edition, that maybe they should release a theatrical, director’s, and longer cut of TMP…so after seeing this article I was absolutely elated! But then suddenly deflated as I have a blu-ray player but understand (and please forgive my ignorance here as I hope someone on this website could confirm for me) that the longer version of TMP will only play on a 4k player? If the director’s edition is on blu-ray then why not just release all 3 versions on blu-ray to highest picture quality that is available on blu-ray? I’m so gutted now…so near…and yet so far…

Well, Amazon now has definitive proof that I’m a sucker…

Can’t wait to be one again when they put out a new set which includes the TNG movies! And then another which has the Kelvins as well!

Steelbooks on the way I hope?

It appears that the UK 4K releases will replace the “bonus” digital code version with a standard Blu-ray (region-free?) That maybe the future proof solution for me. I know the 4K would be region free…not sure of the Blu-ray.

Yep, this seems to be the case, extra discs instead of digital for the UK. As for the blu rays being region free, Amazon UK has the set listed as such, as New Horizon pointed out, and I’ve checked on Zaavi and it’s also listed there as Region A, B, C. They’re probably okay, but if you want to shop with confidence you can await further confirmation from the Trekmovie guys.

It’s confirmed on The Digital Bits, that the Theatrical and SLV versions will be together on one UHD via seamless branching.

This is very true. I’m grateful that the 6 movie set, the Complete Adventure sets and the standalone Blu-ray preserves the theatrical version of the movie. So it isn’t the George Lucas approach.

The only thing that is Lucasized is the newly redone director’s edition. Everything else is theatrical and is the way the movie looked. The only severe disappointment for me was no original audio it’s kind of a dealbreaker.

For any Brits who are interested, the TMP Directors Cut will be showing in major theatres across the UK for a limited period from Friday August 19th. The Wrath of Khan Directors Cut follows on September 2nd.

A review of the US set just popped up on The Digital Bits. Interesting read, at least until we get the Trekmovie review we’re all waiting for. Incidentally I’m delighted to learn that the blu ray theatrical version included in the UK set is of the 2021 remastered version, not the old steelbook version which I already own. This may seem redundant since we’ll have the 4k theatrical anyway, but I just like the idea of everything being up to date, plus, I won’t feel as if there’s a ”wasted’ disc in the set. This truly feels like it’s going to be the last word re: this classic movie.

I have the 1-4 set the theatrical was a treat for TMP. It isn’t perfect by any stretch though there is digital noise reduction or DNR on the optical effects, a fix they applied to blur out the obvious arm holding the model of the Enterprise made the picture quality for the worse in those shots. And to cap it all off there is no original stereo theatrical audio mix which would have been in theaters. But the live action photography is very filmic. And it doesn’t appear like DNR was applied across the entire picture like the Directors Edition redo.

I just ordered mine. Of V and VI in 4K combo. And the director’s edition Blu-Ray because there isn’t a combo, they are making us buy the 4K and Blu-Ray separately. So, I opted to only get the Blu-Ray. A hundred-dollar set is quite out of the question for me when the Special Longer is only on UHD and there is no Blu-Ray.
