This set carries over pretty much all of the special features from the 2009 versions of the movies, which in turn carried over most of the DVD features from before. The majority of the extras are found on the standard Blu-ray discs. Doing a rewatch of the four films, I was quite engaged by both the video and audio.Īs is common practice, the Ultra HD Blu-ray discs have minimal special features to allow maximum space for the 4K video. Having a 5.1.4 Dolby Atmos system, I can attest that the audio tracks work very nicely via Dolby Surround Upmixer (DSU) to fill out a room (this is a technology to extrapolate Dolby Atmos-like sound from a traditional surround soundtrack). The mixes were great in 2009 and still sound great on a modern surround system. 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 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. Staring at still frames of a motion picture isn’t exactly how a film is intended to be watched, so take these as a general demonstration of the changes. NOTE: The screenshots included in this article are down-converted from 4K and HDR, so they’re not a perfect representation-they may appear darker on your screen than they will when watching the movie on a proper HDR display-but still give a good idea of the subtle improvements that give these latest editions a more filmic quality. Thankfully, the new 4K scans of the original 35mm films freshen them up and make them as engaging as ever, with skin tones and skin texture looking noticeably more natural now. Those versions might have looked pretty good in the early 2000s when they were first created, but as TVs have gotten larger and better quality, they’ve started to look pretty ragged. The older versions still leave quite a bit to desired, with too much grain reduction at times and certainly too much sharpening applied, which makes them look a bit too digital. Unlike the TOS movies, the TNG movies fared a bit better in their older 2009 versions. Geordi and Data discuss Data’s emotion chip (2009) ![]()
