Star Trek: The Motion Picture"The forty-plus-year-old movie also looks fresher and in better shape thanks to Dolby Vision HDR, which brings a welcomed improvement in contrast and brightness balance. The scenes in space display snappy, sparkling stars in the distance, engulfed in inky black emptiness, and specular highlights provide for tightly crisp whites in the lights and a realistic sheen along metallic surfaces. Shadow details could be a tad stronger, especially in the many poorly-lit interiors, but visibility in the darkest corners remains comparatively better than the HD version. Richard H. Kline's cinematography has a distinctively muted, restrained palette, favoring more browns and tans with a mix of various shades of blue, which counters the movie's campy origins. Nevertheless, those secondary hues appear fuller with good saturation levels and more variation while primaries, especially those aforementioned blues, are bolder and more animated, making for an otherwise attractive watch on 4K UHD."(Dolby Vision HDR Video Rating: 78/100)
Star Trek III: The Search For Spock "Unlike the previous two entries, cinematographer Charles Correll took a more colorful, vibrant approach to the second sequel, and his efforts really shine on UHD. The Dolby Vision HDR presentation displays a richly saturated palette, from the bold crimson red lighting and the deeper shade of burgundy in the uniforms to the electrifying blues and lively greens of the foliage and the Klingon ship. Moreover, the other earthy hues, oranges, and yellows are more animated and spirited, making the movie somewhat reminiscent of the original television series. Contrast and brightness balance also enjoy a welcomed boost, showering the action with brilliant, radiant whites and inky, velvety blacks with excellent shadow detail. The improved specular highlights add a crisp, tight sparkle to the stars, the lighting along the exterior of ships, and a realistic sheen to the various metallic objects."

Originally released in 1979, Star Trek: The Motion Picture became the fourth highest grossing movie of the year and earned three Academy Award nominations for Best Visual Effects, Best Art Direction, and Best Music, Original Score. The film successfully launched the Star Trek franchise beyond the original television series, despite having been rushed to theaters with incomplete special effects and forced editing choices.
I like the more character based collage, I am just glad they are starting to release the films in 4K and I hope the content outweighs the aesthetics when it comes to getting the rest of the movies, I want the rest in 4 K as well.
The new Star Trek website comes as the 44-year-old science fiction series enjoys new life from the 2009 film 'Star Trek' by director J.J. Abrams. The movie recast the franchise's iconic starship captain James T. Kirk, Vulcan-human science officer Spock and other beloved characters with new, young actors. The franchise is based on the original "Star Trek" television series that ran from 1966 to 1969, with actor William Shatner in the role of Kirk and Leonard Nimoy as Spock.

I will admit that the selection of available movie on HD-DVD isn't great. I only own four discs and wouldn't pay even the 33% discounted price for anything else. But if prices come down to the $10 range, there are some movies I would pick up. Even more intriguing would be if the high-def Season #1 Battlestar Galactica set dropped precipitously. Ditto for Star Trek. I wouldn't pay close to face value for either (especially the outrageously priced Star Trek), but that would change if they were slashed by 50% or more. Right now, if you have HD-DVD, it's all about maximizing opportunities rather than mourning one's loss. 2ff7e9595c
