5.0 out of 5 stars Great movie, amazing treatment on blu-ray, March 11, 2010

This review is from: Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country (Remastered) [Blu-ray] (Blu-ray)

I'll say first that I'm a heretic. I think this is the best of the original series movies; I prefer it to Wrath of Kahn. You've got the best of TOS here; the friendly three way conflict between Kirk, Spock and McCoy. The enjoyable over acting by Shatner, character driven conflicts...it's the best elements of star trek. There's not one big villain but rather an ad-hoc group threatened by a loss in power and prestige with the outbreak of peace. The Cold War overtones are hard to miss for me, as a history buff, but they don't detract from the movie. I rather like this style of villain(s); they're not evil masterminds but simply people threatened by changes. It's far more believable than some of the uber-villains in other Trek movies.

The treatment that this got on Blu-Ray I'd call the gold standard. I've seen better picture and audio quality, particularly from Pixar...but this is still *very* good, far better than many. No artificating, sounds great on my speakers (A decent 2.1 setup attached to a Harmon receiver) and looks wonderful on my 50" 1080p set. It's probably as good as they could do with the source material.

The extras...oh man did they do us justice. Here's a note to other movie stuidos: If you do extras, do them like this. I can't summarize them all in this review, but they went heavy on the documentary/interview stuff as well as including the traditional directory commentaries. I enjoyed the one about Klingons, Shakespear and translations between the two...that was just classic. There's 3 or 4 hours all told of documentary footage, with intelligent, informative commentary. For a Trek fan those alone would almost be worth the purchase price. They talk with costume designers, linguist, FX, stuntmen, actors...it's amazing to see what really goes into a major motion picture.

Wrath of Kahn is the quintessential Star Trek movie. The Undiscovered Country comes close at being just as good.

As for this blu-ray version of the movie there is little I can say that is negative. My only gripe is that they changed the box art (although it makes sense for them as they are trying to re-image Star Trek). The video and audio transfer is near flawless. This disc is also loaded with special features. So far I have only watched the Farewell video to Bones as well as a few of the behind the scenes. It is really good to see that they tried really hard to make this blu-ray jam packed full of stuff for the fans rather than a rehash bare bones release. I have this movie on VHS, DVD and now blu-ray and each version has been worth every penny.

Get this movie and let your inner nerd take over!

5.0 out of 5 stars Finally...(it took 18 years), August 30, 2009

This edition of TUC is the first and ONLY way to obtain the original theatrical version of the film. The theatrical version is significantly different (and better) in it's storytelling than the extended video version available up until now. Not even the so-called "special edition" released some years back had the original version on it! This edition is a must for any fan of the original series.
