The one that I really want is a 4K restoration of the Directors Cut of Star Trek The Motion Picture. I’ve heard that it will be released to streaming next year and I hope that it makes it to physical disc release.
There were quite a few new CGI scenes created for the DVD. Because it was so many years ago, it was created on outdated software. So I can understand the time it takes to have to rebuild those scenes to render in 4K. I'm not sure if it gets an Atmos track (seems Paramount is content with 7.1 mixes with Star Trek). I thought they were pretty good when the first BD set came out: and they sound good up-mixed on DTS:Neural.
If you are really on a budget and you don’t own the movies and the TV series of the Original cast on blu-ray, I recommend the Anniversary blu-ray box set of Star Trek with the complete TV series, the movies 1-6 and the animated series. The art style of the box set is very cool, and you can find it super cheap ($50-$60) if you shop around.
Yeah that'd be interesting. Did you know that Bluray is still the biggest jump yet? DVD is four times better than VHS, Bluray is six times better than DVD, 4K is four times better than Bluray.
I like it when you do side-by-side comparisons of the different releases, there is more of an impact showing both versions at the same time vs the full screen 4k followed by full screen blu-ray.
@@kevmitchify some audio systems play better with one format over another. If I were to get another sound system, number one thing would be full compatibility with both formats
My receiver plays the Dolby True HD and DTS-HD Master equally well. both sound great to me. I guess where I'm a snob is I feel that standard DTS is far better than AC3 DD. My receiver isn't upgraded to 4K and Atmos or DTS X, so I can't give opinion on those. My TV is 4K with bleh HDR, so HDR is noticeable but not as good as better TV's have.
Really great analysis and review. You keep getting more and more detailed as you progress. More engrossed and more engaged. Keep up the great work. You’re going nowhere but up!
I'm very happy these came out and immediately per-ordered to show my support and send that message to Paramount. I genuinely didn't think we would see these on 4K and want them to know it's appreciated and we want more of Star Trek on 4K. I have the 50th anniversary edition on display along with the die-cast models of the original Enterprise and TMP Enterprise. That stays put, but at least now I no longer need to disturb that and can just pop these in when I feel for a watch. It also includes the original TV series, but that is currently streaming on Netflix. Interestingly, the Wrath of Khan in the 50th anniversary edition was remastered and looked far better than the other movies. Could be that they used that for this 4K version as well.
I thought the Wrath of Khan is the Meyer supervised true 4K remaster done a couple of years ago but was only available as Blu 1080p in that Mondo package
They have been working on the 4k STTMP Directors Cut for a while, I think some of that went into this STTMP 4k release. We will be seeing STTMP Directors Cut on Paramount Plus next year, hopefully we get a 4K disk soon after. 4K STTWOK was announced like 5 years ago but never released (WHY!?!?). This set includes that endeavor which I think is the most impressive of the collection. They fixed some of the special effects, for example when Captain Terrell shoots himself he was originally transparent before he vaporizes, they fixed that and it looks a lot better. Also, it seems that they cleaned up the matte painting composites in the Genisis Cave. It is now truly a beautiful film and I think STTWOK makes the price of this collection worth it all by itself.
Still not work on part 6 directors cut still? Or the extended cut of part 1? Paramount is such a lazy studio and this proves it. Couldn’t even be bothered to release all the cuts for the original on this set
I & II were that one's I cared about the most so great news. TMP gets a lot of flak for being "long and boring" but IMO it holds up well over time and is closer to the original series than the other films. Now I hope they get on to First Contact soon, the best after Wrath of Kahn.
Star Trek VI has never looked good on home video. I hope they remaster that in 4K. They can also remaster First Contact the original blu is lackluster. It isn't filmic at all. I do wonder what version of Star Trek VI we get though and will the matte be opened or will it be matted for widescreen like the film prints. There are 3 cuts of VI Theatrical, Special home video version which has never been in HD, and the directors cut which was on the 2 disc dvd set but never released on blu ray but exists in HD form. It was the only Star trek film shot in super 35.
They are bringing out the 6-movie 4K collection in September (with theatrical and directors cuts of The Motion Picture, Wrath of Kahn and Undiscovered Country). Literally a year after they released the 4-movie collection. I'm glad I waited and didn't buy the 4-movie set, but at the same time it does seem a bit greedy to not wait until the 6 films are fully remastered for 4K and expect some people to double dip that did buy the 4-movie collection. Although they are releasing individual 4K's (The Motion Picture Directors Cut is getting its own 4K separate from the Theatrical Cut) of all the film's as well as Star Trek V: The Final Frontier and Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country for those that bought the 4-movie 4K collection and don't want to double dip when they own the first 4 on 4K. But again I understand why those who bought the 4-movie 4K collection would be annoyed.
@@JeffRauseo, I remember a comparison of Dolby TrueHD to DTS-HD Master Audio. They were bit identical with the difference being the volume levels. After the volume levels were corrected no difference could be heard. I believe DTS tends to be mastered at a higher volume level
I ordered my UHD set from Deep Discount when they had it for $10 less than everyone else and had a 15% off coupon. Of course it was back ordered, but they seem to be back in stock. Hoping for an email on that soon.
They didn't add the the directors cut of The Motion Picture because Paramount+ will be releasing it sometime in the new year around March maybe it's being worked on right now it will probably be another 6 to 12 months before we get it on 4k disc
That’s weird why a Blue Ray set would be in a 4K set? I just have a Sony Blu Ray player & I am glad to know at least Star Trek TMP & Star Trek II look great on Blu Ray & at least based on what I took away from the best Blu Ray/4K reviewer is that Star Trek 3 & 4 looks so much better than those old Blu Rays! Thank You for the review young man!
What Floydian said; extras are on the blu rays, the majority of 4ks come with the blu rays I think to cut costs on supplying another disc specially made for 4ks with just the extras.
Great work bro. Just got me a Sony 800 m2 player and it is killing it. It makes a difference from streaming in 4K with the hey and contrasts. I will do more testing
Well, I don't mind the 4K releases having the BD too 'cause I don't have a 4K setup yet. But when I do, suddenly, I have a lot of 4K discs I can watch for the first time.
I found them to be well done. Even If i thought they used too much DVNR on the opticals. I really was upset they don't have original theatrical stereo mixes for the films though. The colors are nice and filmic and there isn't any edge enhancement or sharpening like Lowry did in 2009. No waxy look.
PS. Weird Dolby True HD is lossless too, it's the container format for Dolby's Lossless Atmos format. Dolby Digital plus is the Lossy container for used for Atoms HD broadcast's and streaming. Dolby True HD = DTS Master HD when the exact same audio is put into the format as both are lossless. Dolby have the advantage of having set reference levels so you will get consistent audio levels between disks. I prefer the DTS tracks on the whole because in the earlier days they helped with mixing and put a preferable audio mix into the audio container format leaving whatever audio Dolby format sounding not as good.
Sounds like you haven’t got a screen big enough to see the difference of 1080p and 4K. If you have a 4K projector and 120” or bigger screen you see the difference.
I agree keeping the cost down without the Bluray, I would add the fact that I wish they keep just 4k separate for a environmentalists point of view. Just a thought but I would love if someday in the future if they make 4k disc the size of a game cube size disc less plastic. Or a cartridge in 4k like the wii switch again less plastic to save the environment but still give us a hardcopy for those who like having something in there hand. Love the video! Thanks for the review I was debating if I should ask for it for Xmas. Hardcore star trek fan it is a let down that the full set isn't in the box set & updated sound however I'm such a nerd I would still want it in 4k just for now until they update the boxset
If you wanted to make a fake immersive experience, go to your av receiver and upmix the Dolby TrueHD 7.1 track using the Dolby Surround, DTS Neural:X, or Auro3D (Auromatic) Upmixer to your Atmos setup. You’re welcome👍🏻
Dolby TrueHD is lossless. If the source audio mix is the same, and audio levels matched, a TrueHD track sounds identical to DTS-MA. DTS-MA just became a dominate format for HD Blu-ray (the way TrueHD Atmos is on UHD disc or DD+ Atmos on streaming). I've watched all the movies. I believe Star Trek 4 has the weakest quality due to source: there is quite a bit more grain visible (probably due to film gate size/film stock used). Though I also noticed some weird interlaced artifacts in a couple scenes in motion picture. RE: HDR with film-a camera negative may have up to 13 stops (bits) of dynamic range (current digital cameras now are getting up to 16 stops). With 4K scans, they have scanned in a HDR color space for quite a few years (be it 10bit or 12bit space). When it comes to the movies in the set, I've heard that Paramount decided to do these restorations in batches. Apparently they were burned by having too much stock of STNG seasons when people were waiting for a boxed set. These movies sound pretty good on my receiver, which I upconvert 5.1/7.1 to DTS:Neural. So the only upgrade I'm aware of is a separate remastering of STMP Director's Cut (the original had CGI rendered in SD: enough years have gone by, that they'd have to rebuild digital assets and render out in 4K). As a Star Trek fan, I bought the set to support Paramount in getting the other movies done.
I want to buy the 4k set but I feel it’s incomplete without movies 5 & 6 so I’ll probably get the Blu Ray set and my favorite Star Trek movies are 3 & 4 !
I got the individual Blu-ray releases, and hope they continue on the individual releases for Blu-ray. For TMP Directors Edition, I suspect we'll get a 4k / Blu-ray combo, and that's the way I'll go there. I don't have a 4K setup, and will not have one for a while, so the Blu-ray releases generally work for me. For the DE, I'll get the 4K / Blu combo so I'll be future-proofed there, and I know that release will take advantage of Atmos and HDR.
I'll wait for a 6 movies set. Which versions of Khan are on that disc? I'm kind of a snob about which version of ST2 I watch. I prefer the one that aired on TV which isn't exactly the directors cut of the film. With Scott's nephew getting more time and impact on the story.
I think they look great, the sound is still awesome. Not a big deal that they’re 7.1. My pioneer elite receiver does a decent job of converting it to 5.2.2. Great set just for the picture upgrade alone
Side rant here: It really amazes me that they decided to put the 4k discs in those ugly, cheap feeling black cases when the regular Blu-Ray cases look so slick and display nicely. They should have made them translucent like the Blu-Ray, but made them red or something.
Hello I'm new to your channel. Will you be doing a similar comparison between the Criterion version of Citizen Kane Blu ray & 4k? I believe this is their first 4k release.
Despite the lack of sound mix improvements, if this had included the 4K Director's Cut, it would have been a buy for me. As it is, I'll wait for the DC next year, and hope for an upgraded sound mix on that one. The rest of the films, I'll just wait for a sale.
No one will ever see this with all the comments, but aside from the spectacular restoration, Paramount's presentation of this was a crime. Aside from the cheap cardboard sleeve, they had no seperate clamshell for each disc, not even graphics on the discs aside from title. No 5 and 6 (6 was amazing IMO). Also no part 1 Dir cut... And they couldn't even be bothered to make a decent menu. Just a static movie poster that doesn't even attempt to fill the screen. They called this in to get $$ from fans and the fans deserve better.
I think we all know the audio upgrade from Dolby true 7.1 or even 5.1 to Dolby Atmos or DTS-X is a significantly pricey one..So Paramount didn't touch the audio because of that ,but I can say from owning these that this is the best that these movies will ever look and sound!!
I bought the remastered blurays 4 yrs ago then they came out with another remastered bluray WoK . This is only if you want 4k then buy it but just keep your blurays.
I got the very first blurays and they were so bad I sold them and just held onto my dvds. They made them way too dark and blue, while the dvds had what I think to be a true tone. I'll probably pick this set up as an upgrade from BluRay, but I wish I could just buy the individual movies in 4k.
@@JeffRauseo Thanks! I was hoping this was a remastered set since it just came out in 2020, it also came with digital codes for all 10 movies. Guess I'll have to upgrade to the 4K set. I also wanted to say, Congratulations on the new baby, I hope the wife and little one are doing well.
I'd have got this, but it's not got the Director's Cut of ST:TMP. So, I'm not going to buy this, when the Director's Cut of that is coming out next year. I'll hold off until they release all the films in one box set - which they will.
Ha ha, I know what you mean, but I also enjoy 1 and 5. 5 is the worst by a good margin, 2-3-4 make a very good story arc, and 1 is like a blending of Star Trek and 2001: A Space Odyssey.
Jeff, this totally off the wall and has nothing to do with this video!!! but I just read where they have confirmed that they are releasing a karate kid 4k all 3 films trilogy in UHD 4K set to be released on Dec 7th can you confirm this for me thanks love the videos be safe
I've been waiting for this review for a while, and have been wondering if the remastered Blu-rays are worth it. Even though I've had them for a while, I've been thinking I would go sell it back, because I'm worried it was a waste.
The one that I really want is a 4K restoration of the Directors Cut of Star Trek The Motion Picture. I’ve heard that it will be released to streaming next year and I hope that it makes it to physical disc release.
@@scotttild I have the DVD. It is quite a bit different and it has a lot of completed and reworked special effects.
I heard it is getting Dolby Atmos as well. I will not buy a 4K version of these movies without Dolby Atmos, or DTS X.

My mom got me those for Christmas last year. Best gift I have got in years. Very very happy with what it included. Loved the art on it as well.
@@lanceheaps581 Yes, the art style of the packaging of the box set is very cool!
I would have loved to see physical media reviews in the 90's when DVDs first came out comparing VHS to DVD.
Yeah that'd be interesting. Did you know that Bluray is still the biggest jump yet? DVD is four times better than VHS, Bluray is six times better than DVD, 4K is four times better than Bluray.
I like it when you do side-by-side comparisons of the different releases, there is more of an impact showing both versions at the same time vs the full screen 4k followed by full screen blu-ray.
Dolby True HD is lossless, just as DTS-HD Master Audio is. It's just a different compression codec.
I prefer DolbyTrueHD to DTS master audio any day
Yep, came here to say this.
The only possible difference is in file size, and if you care about that you should just convert them both to FLAC, which can be done losslessly.

They've recently re-released this set with 1-6. Thank God, because VI is my favorite after II.
Nice review of the original Classic Star Trek 4k box set can't wait to sit and watch and enjoy your reviews are much appreciated. BZ!!!
Really great analysis and review. You keep getting more and more detailed as you progress. More engrossed and more engaged. Keep up the great work. You’re going nowhere but up!
Picked up the set - enjoyed the new releases.... assuming we'll see individual 4Ks later on
@Atlantis Rising I hope they release 'em all on 4K!
I think cbs did a half ass job for the set for the price, the hdr helps the color a little I would only upgrade when the price drops
I just bought the old bluray set, but I think I'll trade it in for the 4K combo pack. Thanks, for your insightful videos.
I'm very happy these came out and immediately per-ordered to show my support and send that message to Paramount. I genuinely didn't think we would see these on 4K and want them to know it's appreciated and we want more of Star Trek on 4K.

Perfect timing
I'm looking forward to checking these out. Great review as always man.
So excited to watch Wrath of Kahn tonight in all its 4K glory!
Liking the frakin gunshot blast intro!
Thanks for this. Probably will wait for a box set of the six films in 4k.
I thought the Wrath of Khan is the Meyer supervised true 4K remaster done a couple of years ago but was only available as Blu 1080p in that Mondo package

Why did the set not come with five and six?
Why didn’t they do a 6-movie collection? Then they could do a 4-movie TNG collection next. It would be perfect.
Exactly.

Literally a year after they released the 4-movie collection.

This may seem like a strange question, but are there any ads on either disc? If so, for what?
OML you're so childish grow up
Star Trek was also given a Dolby vision ver. Was picture better?
Any news on 5, and 6 release on 4k?
Interesting that both the disc's of Wrath of Kahn are the director's cut but the digital code is for the theatrical cut.
All 6 are now being released in september
I’ve never watched the original Star Trek movies so I’ll definitely be picking this up for Black Friday 👏🏼
Good review. I prefer the blurays myself.
Great review again :) Love old Star Trek.

Hi Jeff, how about the new 6-movie collection coming out this Sep? Is that the same as the 4-movie 4K transfer just with part 5 & 6 added?
Do you know if the upcoming 30th anniversary edition of Terminator 2 will be the same transfer as its previous release, thanks 😀

I think they look great, the sound is still awesome. Not a big deal that they’re 7.1. My pioneer elite receiver does a decent job of converting it to 5.2.2. Great set just for the picture upgrade alone
The Motion Picture Directors Edition will be coming to 4k next year with Dolby Atmos. Looking forward to it.
Thats the question : When will come the rest ?
Side rant here: It really amazes me that they decided to put the 4k discs in those ugly, cheap feeling black cases when the regular Blu-Ray cases look so slick and display nicely. They should have made them translucent like the Blu-Ray, but made them red or something.
Thanks bought this today
Is it possible for you to get your hands on Drop Dead Fred and do a review on it???
Been wanting to purchase it but want your opinion!
I'm now looking forward to this set - I was worried about a cash grab, thanks Jeff, I wish your affiliate links worked in UK
If you’re in the UK then I suggest purchasing from local retailers like HMV to support them.
Do you think the Next Generation Films will get a 4K release?
Oddly enough my review copy came with Digital Copy codes in both the 4k AND the Blu Ray packages!
Wow really? I missed out I guess
does the 4k star trek the movie still have the long musical score at the front? ops no atmos. ill wait.
Hello I'm new to your channel. Will you be doing a similar comparison between the Criterion version of Citizen Kane Blu ray & 4k? I believe this is their first 4k release.
I will try to get my hands on that, yes!
Weird one - are your feet touching whatever the camera is supported on? When it wobbles back and forth it's pretty nauseating.
Cheers for the vids
Despite the lack of sound mix improvements, if this had included the 4K Director's Cut, it would have been a buy for me. As it is, I'll wait for the DC next year, and hope for an upgraded sound mix on that one. The rest of the films, I'll just wait for a sale.
No one will ever see this with all the comments, but aside from the spectacular restoration, Paramount's presentation of this was a crime. Aside from the cheap cardboard sleeve, they had no seperate clamshell for each disc, not even graphics on the discs aside from title. No 5 and 6 (6 was amazing IMO). Also no part 1 Dir cut... And they couldn't even be bothered to make a decent menu. Just a static movie poster that doesn't even attempt to fill the screen. They called this in to get $$ from fans and the fans deserve better.
I think we all know the audio upgrade from Dolby true 7.1 or even 5.1 to Dolby Atmos or DTS-X is a significantly pricey one..So Paramount didn't touch the audio because of that ,but I can say from owning these that this is the best that these movies will ever look and sound!!
Star Trek 4: The Voyage Home is the best star trek movie.
Dolby Vision?
Jeff, please bring back the guitar solo intro!!!! (Thumbs up please!)
I bought the remastered blurays 4 yrs ago then they came out with another remastered bluray WoK . This is only if you want 4k then buy it but just keep your blurays.
I find the Star Trek remastered movies look the best on DVD, because the sharper the image (4K/Blu ray), the worse the old special effects appear.
Wait what? Why just four films? Why not have the entire original six-film saga restored for 4K?
I got the very first blurays and they were so bad I sold them and just held onto my dvds. They made them way too dark and blue, while the dvds had what I think to be a true tone. I'll probably pick this set up as an upgrade from BluRay, but I wish I could just buy the individual movies in 4k.
I bought the Blu-ray edition of Star Trek: Stardate collection a few months, does it have the remastered discs in this set? Thanks.
No
@@JeffRauseo Thanks! I was hoping this was a remastered set since it just came out in 2020, it also came with digital codes for all 10 movies. Guess I'll have to upgrade to the 4K set. I also wanted to say, Congratulations on the new baby, I hope the wife and little one are doing well.
Dope channel. Appreciate your content
Thanks for the video
I wouldn’t say Wrath of Khan is everyone’s favorite lol. I vastly prefer Voyage Home
I was really looking forward to Atmos tracks, and am SO disappointed they didn't put them in. I'll be passing on this.
Could not agree more man. I have all six on Blu Ray no way am I paying to upgrade unless they release 4K movies with Dolby Atmos.
Man i hope they do generations and first contact on 4k.
But Dolby TruHD is lossless. It's just a different encoding from DTS HD-MA.
You don't seem to be able to buy just the Blu Ray version to save money.
They’re individual releases. I linked them in the description
@@JeffRauseo Strange they look completely different in the links with reviews from 2016, and one of them is from Belgium.
I'd have got this, but it's not got the Director's Cut of ST:TMP. So, I'm not going to buy this, when the Director's Cut of that is coming out next year. I'll hold off until they release all the films in one box set - which they will.
Hey Jeff, why don't you do 4K and blu ray reviews on The Dark Crystal (1982), Labyrinth (1986) and Legend (1985)?
Why the HELL didn't they do all 6!!???
Sold 👍🏻
Would have been satisfied with a 4K only; 2,3,4, and 6 release.
Ha ha, I know what you mean, but I also enjoy 1 and 5. 5 is the worst by a good margin, 2-3-4 make a very good story arc, and 1 is like a blending of Star Trek and 2001: A Space Odyssey.
Jeff, this totally off the wall and has nothing to do with this video!!! but I just read where they have confirmed that they are releasing a karate kid 4k all 3 films trilogy in UHD 4K set to be released on Dec 7th can you confirm this for me thanks love the videos be safe
No Atmos then no purchase from me.
I've been waiting for this review for a while, and have been wondering if the remastered Blu-rays are worth it. Even though I've had them for a while, I've been thinking I would go sell it back, because I'm worried it was a waste.
