About this deal

This comes right after the announcement that "Star Trek: The Motion Picture" — the Director's Edition—will also be remastered and upgraded for a 4K UHD release in a project that is separate to the four-movie UHD release.

in HD was the awful looking DNR'ed and edge enhanced Blu-rays, well I’m glad to report things are a whole lot better. Including both the original theatrical and director’s cuts, Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan is one of the most celebrated and essential chapters in Star Trek lore. On routine training maneuvers, Admiral James T. Kirk seems resigned that this may be the last space mission of his career. But an adversary from the past has returned with a vengeance. Aided by his exiled band of genetic supermen, Khan (Ricardo Montalbán)—brilliant renegade of 20th century Earth—has raided Space Station Regula One, stolen the top-secret device called Project Genesis, wrested control of another Federation starship, and now schemes to set a most deadly trap for his old enemy Kirk… with the threat of a universal Armageddon. Paramount’s 4K UHD disc offers a simple menu interface featuring the Bob Peak-like poster artwork for the Director’s Edition (the same art used for the 2001 DVD release, not that actual Peak artwork). It includes the following special features: 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. likely the most refined pure Trek film of all time, the likes of which we would basically never see againHot 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! Audio CommentaryfeaturingMichael & Denise Okuda, Judith & Garfield Reeves-Stevens, and Daren Dochterman Dolby Vision gives depth and vibrancy to the colours, the deep greens of the Borg lighting contrasting against the lush greenery of the forests, reds and blues sharing a resonance, while phasers and blasts beam from the screen. Flesh tones are natural, and everything has a pleasing hue. 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!

All this is desperate when you consider the Trek royalty that penned it: Ronald D. Moore and Brannon Braga wrote the screenplay, and are acutely aware of its issues, but due to the timing involved, they were writing All Good Things at the same time, and were given no time to flesh out the Generations script as the release date was already set, and sadly this shows in the finished product. Likewise, Jerry Goldsmith didn’t return to score the film, it therefore has no overarching theme or that resonance of score, and this really matters. They even re-use film footage of the Bird of Prey’s destruction! 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.Audio Commentary by Robert Wise, Douglas Trumbull, John Dykstra, Jerry Goldsmith, and Stephen Collins​ (from 2001 DVD release) 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.
