Star Trek: Generations (1994) gets perhaps the largest amount of color restoration in its new presentation, as a noticeable yellow-green tint (which permeated the 2009 edition) is scraped away in the 4K edition.
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).
Star Trek Generations 4K Audio
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 Romulan Empire – We’ve got a five-part history lesson here for those looking to brush up on their Romulan culture. Enterprise interiors in widescreen (as opposed to the series 4x3 aspect ratio) and at this level of detail is a true delight, especially with someYou’re right — the images with the review are completely unhelpful. It would have been better not to include them at all. Each combo edition from Paramount Home Media includes a 4k disc, a 2k (1080p) disc, and a code to redeem a Digital Copy with either Apple iTunes or Vudu. The Dolby Vision color grading offers superior accuracy to Starfleet uniform colors, each one presenting with ample pop and depth. Tonal saturation is After a waxy edge-enhanced mess of a 1080p Blu-ray, Paramount continues their winning work on Trek by affording Generations an excellent 2160p Dolby Vision (and HDR10) transfer. From the clearly improved detail levels to the naturally cinematic film grain, this is an immediately clear upgrade. Makeup effects, details in the Enterprise D model, and Malcolm McDowell’s scar are all great enhancements to look out for. I was especially impressed with the practical effects model work of the saucer separation crash landing sequence. This film was in the sweet spot era where practical effects and models still were dominant over CGI and that sense of visual weight and volume is made all the more real in this excellent transfer.
Streaming rights come and go and vary by region, so the only surefire way to collect these movies in 4K to keep as your own is on disc. And at least for the US version of the set, it comes with a code for a digital copy of each movie, so you can have your handy digital version while also showing your support for the disc format. Available today excellent, and the Enterprise-B open is much more stable for depth and color balance compared to the Blu-ray, which looked particularly
Like the first-edition Original Series film Blu-rays, the 2009 editions of the four Star Trek: The Next Generation films were plagued with a heavy-handed use of digital noise reduction (DNR) treatments, artificial sharpening efforts (to restore detail erased by the DNR process), and odd color timing that — in some instances — drastically changed the look of the movies when compared to previous VHS, LaserDisc, and DVD home media releases. The Star Trek Universe – And to two up the last one we’ve got a 9-part feature here for your viewing pleasure. 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. Again we jump forward two years to 1998 and another Star Trek film in Star Trek: Insurrection, where we’ve got a malfunctioning Data taking hostages, a potential Federation mission coverup, and some great sci-fi planetary side effects that hinder our heroes as they try to save the day. For those who love Insurrection you can rest easy as Paramount absolutely nailed this 4K remastering of the third TNG film, which is a great running theme to have if you’re going to have one in a 4K box set. Plot: What’s it about? Video: How’s it look? Audio: How’s it sound? Supplements: What are the extras? The Bottom Line
Great Deal
