Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country Blu-ray delivers stunning video and audio in this exceptional Blu-ray release
On the eve of retirement, Kirk and McCoy are charged with assassinating the Klingon High Chancellor and imprisoned. The Enterprise crew must help them escape to thwart a conspiracy aimed at sabotaging the last best hope for peace.
For more about Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country and the Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country Blu-ray release, see Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country Blu-ray Review published by Martin Liebman on September 9, 2022 where this Blu-ray release scored 4.5 out of 5.
Paramount has released 'Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country' to Blu-ray with a remastered 1080p transfer. The disc replaces the imperfect 2009 issue. No new primary audio track or supplemental contents are included.
This
disc is available individually and has also been released on UHD, which is only available as part of a six-film boxed set.
When the Klingon moon Praxis -- a primary energy production facility -- suddenly explodes, the
Klingon
species finds itself unable to recover and on the verge of extinction. In an effort to
both save the Klingons and bring peace to a long-troubled relationship, the Federation agrees to
help the Klingons, assistance that includes dismantling part of the fleet across the neutral zone.
Spock
volunteers Kirk, the Enterprise, and her crew to escort the Klingon Chancellor, Gorkon
(David
Warner), through federation space to a peace conference. Kirk rejects both the mission and its
purpose, proclaiming his distrust of the Klingons. Nevertheless, the Enterprise carries
out her orders, but relationships become further strained when the ship seems to fire on the
Klingon Cruiser and a pair of assassins beam aboard the vessel and murder the chancellor. Kirk
and McCoy beam over to the Cruiser to ascertain the situation, are arrested, and ultimately found
guilty of the assassination. Sentenced to life imprisonment on the harsh penal colony of Rura
Penthe, the pair must
not only struggle to escape but to save their very lives on a daily basis. Meanwhile, the
Enterprise crew vigorously searches for answers in hopes of identifying the true assassins
before they have a chance destroy any hopes of achieving peace.
Paramount has done some serious work to Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country, presenting the film here at 1080p "remastered from a 4K
scan of the original film elements." The difference between this image and the 2009 Blu-ray is night and day. There is a massive gap between the two;
the old transfer was hopelessly waxy, eliminating grain and rendering skin unnaturally smoothed over and characterless. The same could be said of just
about everything in the image, not just skin (though skin stands as the most immediately obvious example). Here, fine detail is present and accounted
for. People look like people, with naturally occurring skin elements well visible and clear, not smoothed away as with the previous image. Look at some
close-ups during the briefing about Praxis around the 8–10-minute mark. Various close-ups reveal extremely fine fabric fuzzes and grays on the
uniforms. Basic uniform patterns and accents are far more naturally defined. The image is very satisfying and crisp; even optical effects are rendered
with more elegant seamlessness with natural filmic definition. Fine grain is maintained throughout, spiking here and there but generally yielding very
pleasing and naturally cinematic results. There are no encode struggles or serious sure blemishes of note here, either.
Colors are far less garish here as well. The red Starfleet uniforms were much punchier in the previous release; here, the color is subdued, borderline
faded looking in places, but still more naturally inclined than the aggressive push of the last release. Colors otherwise impress, particularly some of the
steely
surfaces around the Enterprise and Excelsior bridge areas, the more spartanly appointed grays and flatness on board the Klingon
vessel where the assassination takes place, and through the Rura Penthe mining areas. Whites (uniform collars) are a little creamy and blacks a little
pale at times. Skin tones push a mild red. Overall, however, this is a dramatic improvement over the old release; fans are going to be thrilled.
This Blu-ray release of Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country recycles the existing Dolby TrueHD 7.1 lossless soundtrack from the 2009
Blu-ray.

Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country remains one of the great Star Trek films, and it has finally earned a proper Blu-ray release.
This image is sourced from the new 4K master. It looks very good and is a great leap forward from the previous 2009 issue. No new audio tracks or
