~ STAR TREK I-IV gets the 4K treatment, finally ~
The original STAR TREK finally comes to 4K format. Although not the complete 6 movies for the original crew, this set has the first 4 in the series. I can see why they did it this way. Marketing and cost. These movies were released from 1979 to 1986, marking STAR TREK IV to be 35 years old now. All four looking pretty good on the 4K format with improved sound in English 7.1 Dolby TrueHD. I have an additional sound bar that the audio goes through instead of using just the TV speakers. You can hear so much more. For picture quality, there is a difference I have noticed. If you play these back on an UHD TV with HDR, you will most likely see a difference although not groundbreaking. The most difference I saw was the The Motion Picture, particularly in the beginning scenes in space where craft are going to and around the Enterprise. I believe there was some touchup work done there for the 4K. I have the previous Blu-ray on that and it was noticeable for me. THe movies looked really good for their age and am proud now to own this set. The packaging, well, it is okay. At least we have the discs separated in their own cases, 4K and Blu-ray versions. Artwork is good, no artwork on the discs themselves. Black for the 4K and standard Blue for the Blu-rays. The 4K discs say on them that there are special features. There are NO SPECIAL FEATURES on the 4K discs. This is a misprint. I do not count Audio Commentary as special features. That is in the SETTINGS selection where you can pick whatever you see there for Audio. ALL SPECIAL FEATURES for each movie are on the Blu-ray discs. The cardboard outer shell is a bit flimsy much like that of the Indiana Jones set released earlier by Paramount. The artwork is good, but that outer box will be tested over time for wear and tear. All in all, a good to excellent set for the first 4 movies in the series. Hopefully, we get the other 2 sets to follow, V, Vi, VII then VIII, IX, X. I am only assuming they will do it this way to keep the cost down for consumers, or they could do the last 6 at once. Recommended if you really want the 4K upgrade, which is worth it to me.

The first four Trek movies in 4k
Three words tell why I bought this...Wrath Of Khan. I have had several versions of this movie, including a collection on bluray of every Trek movie That I bought last year. Couldn't resist Khan on 4k , it is the best Trek movie ever. So far I've watched it and Search for Spock, watching the fourth tonight. The picture is top drawer of course, Surprised me how much better than the bluray, the sound is awesome, they did quite a job on it. My only beef about this collection is the usual, money wasted on bluray versions. Two plastic boxes, one for 4k and the other for bluray, why do they do this? Anyway, an incremental increase in quality over the bluray versions. Upto the individual Trekie weather or not its worth it. It is to me.
