Star Trek: The Motion Picture 4K Blu-ray delivers stunningly beautiful video and great audio in this excellent Blu-ray release
A massive alien presence of enormous power enters Federation Space, destroying three powerful Klingon cruisers and neutralising everything in its path. As it heads towards Earth, Admiral James T. Kirk returns to the helm of an updated Enterprise and sets course to meet the aggressor head on.
For more about Star Trek: The Motion Picture 4K and the Star Trek: The Motion Picture 4K Blu-ray release, see Star Trek: The Motion Picture 4K Blu-ray Review published by Martin Liebman on September 22, 2021 where this Blu-ray release scored 4.0 out of 5.
CBS/Paramount brings 'Star Trek: The Motion Picture' to the UHD format with a new 2160p/Dolby Vision video presentation; the studio has chosen
to repurpose the existing Dolby TrueHD 7.1 lossless soundtrack. A new isolated score track is included; all of the other supplements carry over from
the 2009 Blu-ray, which has itself received a facelift. At time of writing, this UHD is
only available as part of a four film UHD bundle with 'Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan,' 'Star Trek III: The Search for Spock,' and 'Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home.'
A large, mysterious cloud on a direct course towards Earth destroys three Klingon Battle Cruisers
and a
Federation outpost. A refitted Enterprise is the only ship within intercept range before
the cloud reaches Earth, but the ship is in no condition to either pursue or engage the deadly
force. His experience his greatest ally, Admiral James T. Kirk, former Captain of
the Enterprise, successfully lobbies for his return to the Captain's chair, supplanting
Captain Decker (Stephen Collins) and reassigning him to the position of Executive Officer.
Despite new and untested engines, a mostly inexperienced crew, and no
science officer, the Enterprise sets out to intercept the cloud, the famed vessel perhaps
Earth's last, best chance for survival.

Paramount's 2160p/Dolby Vision UHD presentation of Star Trek: The Motion Picture delivers a wonderful image that takes the essential
upgrade merits demonstrated in the remastered Blu-ray and fine-tunes the experience. The textural gains are not
substantial, at least not to the dramatic level seen in the comparison of the remastered Blu-ray and its 2009 forebearer. Here, the differences are more subtle but no less critical in bringing
out the finest revealing definition to faces, for example, where the clarity and sharpness gains allow for a firmer, finer picture with more intimate and
intricate upgrades. Surfaces around the ship look magnificent, even to the point that the set pieces almost lose some of their magic, here revealed
for the relatively cheap construction that defines some of them. But even so, the picture is gorgeous. A few soft-focus shots, smeary backgrounds,
and matte paintings occasionally lessen the visual impact but when it's on, it looks amazing, particularly supported by the finely tuned natural grain
structure at play. This is a wonderfully filmic presentation and far and away the best the film has ever looked for home consumption and likely will
look for many years.
The Dolby Vision color grading further enhances the similarly structured tonal transformations seen on the remastered Blu-ray (check out that review,
linked above, for a little bit on the difference between that presentation and the 2009 release). Here, the Dolby Vision grading allows for a more
precise feel for saturation and color nuance. The picture is brighter and bolder. Whites are particularly stronger here, including the opening titles,
Kirk's white uniform top, and some other points of high intensity luminance, like the alien "probe" that infiltrates the bridge after the
Enterprise arrives inside the cloud. Black levels are superior here, too, deeper and richer in all areas (shadows, space, Spock's hair, even).
Like the detail upgrades, differences in color are not dramatic between this and the remastered Blu-ray, but for the perfect experience, this is
the way to go. Fans are going to be beyond delighted with this.
This UHD release of Star Trek: The Motion Picture recycles the existing Dolby TrueHD 7.1 lossless soundtrack from the 2009 Blu-ray. Please

What an upgrade! From the 2009 Blu-ray to the UHD the differences are night and day. This is The Motion Picture boldly going far beyond
where
any other home video version has gone before. It's as perfect as fans could have wanted: naturally filmic, sharp, and true. Rich Dolby Vision colors
and no distracting compression issues make this a gem of a release. Very highly recommended.
