Seems pretty unlegit for a supposedly high profile release supposedly coming out in just over two months.

This implies the raw 65mm negatives survive. They don't for Trumbull's previous production (Close Encounters) and Blade Runner's escaped junking entirely by accident/indifference.

Personally I'm fine with 2:1 (even if its highly unlikely the 70mm prints had that aspect ratio in 1991). For some reason, the transfer of the theatrical STVI looked a shade claustrophobic at 2:35, perhaps due to Hiro Narita's unfamiliarity with Super 35 and the scope ratio.

But... but... Star Trek V.

For what its worth, I actually prefer the VHS artwork of Star Trek IV. Its one of those cases where if it wasn't an original poster art, it should have been. Actually its kinda funny, the Trek VHS's had this pattern up until VI (which still counts for having a different logo on the box) of...

I don't want to give up hope that the Director's Cut of VI will ever see the light of day on Blu.

Well that would explain why the model shots in TMP suffer from lots of dirt and other artifacts even on the Director's Edition.

That's assuming the original 65mm effects (if they were even done on 65mm in the first place) negatives are still around. They apparently aren't for the film Trumbull did immediately before this one, Close Encounters of the Third Kind.

8k is overkill for these films.

That explains it.

That's a very Alamo Drafthouse-esque/'zine cover there.

Atmos would be overkill for II. The film's sound design is too limited due to its budget.

Yeah they're willing to waste money on II again but not VI which shouldn't cost that much. Favoritism at its finest. Also what the hell is up with the recent love affair with TMP arround here? It's boring, it's plotless, it's cheesy as all hell in sort of a new age hippie sort of way.

What a waste of time. Wrath of Khan was the one Star Trek film that DIDN'T need a remaster.

The one episode that has been released on blue (More Tribbles More Troubles) suggests a 1080p encode would benefit TAS as much as any live action show.

There was really no reason they couldn't have done the DCs of II and VI on blu outside of laziness.

It wouldn't cost nearly as much money to redo the Director's Cuts of Wrath of Khan and Undiscovred Country. Paramount just doesn't seem to care though.

Yeah but on better quality tape. Digibetacam instead of 1".

Finally a legitimate complete release of the best Star Trek score ever written!

Again considering the transfers of II and VI don't scream "VIDEO!!!" as TMP does, I think your theory is a load of bunk.

Well its certainly bizarre that they won't include the director's cut of VI as a branching option at least since that was clearly mastered from a 1080p source. And I think II was as well (unlike TMP where the interlacing problems make it quite obvious that it is not). I can only imagine that...

There's an alternate version of Star Trek IV?
