    Press Release PHE Press Release: Star Trek: The Motion Picture Restored Director's Edition and Six-Movie Collection (4k UHD)

    I haven't checked for it on the UHD yet, but my favorite moment in the older Blu-ray extras was the vintage EPK promo where Shatner forgets Walter Koenig's name and introduces him as "the gentleman who plays Mr. Chekov." The two of them had only been working together for 22 years at that point...

    OK, I think I follow you now. That's much clearer to me, thank you. You're saying that you prefer the 2009 Blu-ray to the 2021 Blu-ray. These things are of course subjective, but I would have to agree with ManW_TheUncool that the 2009 Blu-ray was heavily DNR'd to remove film grain, and then...

    This story is totally confusing me, but I thought he said that BOTH Blu-ray releases he's talking about were from 2009. There was no "remastered" Blu-ray in 2009. Unless he means "remastered since the much older DVD edition," which would apply to both Blu-rays from 2009 (because, again, they...

    I'm not trying to argue with you. I'm just really confused by what you're experiencing and have no idea why it's happening to you. The only Star Trek Blu-rays I own from 2009 were bundled together in the 6-movie Original Crew box set that was released May 12, 2009. This is what the box set...

    These were literally the same disc. It was released first in the 6-movie box set, and then later as a standalone copy. Same scenario here. Identical disc, different packaging. You're telling me both of these images are from 2009 Blu-ray releases? No, I am certain that you're mistaken. Either...

    Press Release PHE Press Release: Star Trek: The Motion Picture Restored Director's Edition and Six-Movie Collection (4k UHD)

    You're still confusing me with your terminology. There have only been two Blu-ray editions of Star Trek IV - one released in 2009 and another released in 2021. Which one are you calling "remastered" and which are you calling "mastered from a 4K source"? Which one do you like and which one do you...

    Which Blu-ray are you calling "remastered" and which are you calling "mastered from the 4K source"? These are the same thing. The remastered Blu-ray is the one mastered from a 4K source. The 2009 Blu-ray for Voyage Home was so soft it was barely distinguishable from a DVD, so I can't imagine...

    Press Release PHE Press Release: Star Trek: The Motion Picture Restored Director's Edition and Six-Movie Collection (4k UHD)

    Blu-ray wasn't introduced until 2006, one year after Wise's death. Although some movies did air on television in high-definition prior to that (I don't know about Star Trek specifically), DVD was still considered the dominant home video format in those years. To your point, I would think that...

    Removing the grain makes other digital clean-up such as dirt, speckle, and scratch removal easier. The optical composites for many of the Trek movies had a lot of unwanted crud embedded in them that has to be painted out digitally. Color grading is also easier without the grain. Then fake grain...

    Calling it the "pilot episode" may not be quite accurate, as it was not the first episode filmed (either with Jeffrey Hunter or William Shatner). However, it was the first episode to actually air on television in September of 1966. Where No Man Has Gone Before, the intended pilot with the...
