Star Trek: The Motion Picture Arrives on 4K Ultra HD™ and in Six-Movie Collection

Set a course for the final frontier as the newly restored and Limited-Edition Star Trek: The Motion Picture—The Director’s Edition – The Complete Adventure arrives September 5, 2022 on 4K Ultra HD™ and Blu-ray™. This 5-disc set includes the new Director’s Edition, the theatrical cut, and a special longer cut all on 4K Ultra HD along with the newly remastered director’s cut on Blu-ray™, the previously released theatrical cut on Blu-ray™ and special features on Blu-ray™. The set is presented in deluxe packaging along with exclusive collectibles, including reproductions of original promotional material, a booklet with behind-the-scenes images, stickers, and more.

The standard 4K Ultra-HD and Blu-ray includes a bonus Blu-ray™ disc filled with new and legacy special features.

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.

The U.S.S. Enterprise boldly debuted on the big screen with the cast of the original Star Trek series, including William Shatner, Leonard Nimoy, DeForest Kelley, George Takei, Nichelle Nichols, Walter Koenig, and James Doohan.  Meticulously restored and remastered, with enhanced visual effects and state-of-the-art sound, this definitive vision of director Robert Wise has been optimized for a new generation of fans.

When an unidentified alien intruder destroys three powerful Klingon cruisers, Admiral James T. Kirk (Shatner) returns to the helm of a newly transformed U.S.S. Enterprise to take command and confront an alien spacecraft of enormous power heading toward Earth.

In 2001, director Robert Wise revisited the film to refine the edit and enhance the visual effects. His updated vision was released on DVD in standard definition and embraced by fans but has never been available in higher definition until now. Meticulously assembled and restored by producer David C. Fein with restoration supervisor and assistant to Robert Wise, Mike Matessino, both of whom originally collaborated with Wise, the film has been prepared for presentation in 4K Ultra HD™ with Dolby Vision™ high dynamic range (HDR) and a new powerful and immersive Dolby Atmos® soundtrack. Fein and Matessino assembled a team of special effects experts, led by returning visual effects supervisor Daren R. Dochterman, and utilized the extensive resources in the Paramount Archives to recreate the effects not just in HD, but in Ultra HD. After more than six months of painstaking work, the updated movie looks and sounds better than ever while staying true to Wise’s original intention.

Original Six Big-Screen Adventures Also Arrive on 4K Ultra HD September 5 in Time for Star Trek Day.

In addition, Star Trek: The Original Motion Picture Collection will arrive on September 5 with all six big-screen adventures featuring the original series crew on 4K Ultra HD™ and Blu-ray™.
