Paramount has released the 2002 Sci-Fi film 'Star Trek: Nemesis' to the UHD format. New specifications include 2160p/Dolby Vision video and Dolby TrueHD 7.1 lossless audio. Supplements from the original release carry over. This set also includes a remastered Blu-ray disc, which is also available seperately. This UHD/Blu-ray combo is also included in a four-film 'Star Trek: The Next Generation' collection.
The included screenshots are sourced from the remastered 1080p Blu-ray disc.
Paramount brings Star Trek: Nemesis to the UHD format with a jazzy new 2160p/Dolby Vision UHD release. The picture is satisfyingly filmic, as
is the case with the rest of the TNG films on this format. The grain structure is flattering, consistent, and attractive, supporting the naturally
sharp and
excellently detailed material underneath. The picture is crisp, efficient, and satisfying, offering full, well-defined textures that accelerate beyond the
1080p Blu-ray for overall sharpness and intricacy. Faces and uniforms are once again standouts, but audiences will be able to soak in the finest textural
nuances
along various Enterprise-E interiors, the Romulan senate, and other key locales throughout the film as well. The picture is free from any
obvious print wear issues and encode flaws.
The Dolby Vision color grading is very well balanced, delivering the black and gray uniforms with appropriate depth and color rendition. The various
uniform colors -- the familiar Starfleet red, blue, and yellow -- are nicely saturated as well, and these tones appear deeper and more lifelike compared
to the remastered Blu-ray. Color balance remains intact, with the film never pushing to a gaudy, oversaturated, and bright or towards overly deep and
drab colors. Everything is well balanced, from crisp dress whites to deep shadowy and starfield blacks. Skin tones are healthy across the full range of
alien and human characters alike. This is a very solid UHD image all around.
Asa with the other three TNG films, Star Trek: Nemesis' new Dolby TrueHD 7.1 lossless soundtrack delivers a satisfying sense of depth and impact in all areas of concern. The track opens up with extensive depth and spacing in action, beginning with the "dune buggy" chase sequence earlier in the film. That scene offers robust low-end engagement and plenty of active surround sound cues, all of which are seamlessly integrated and balanced for both precision placement and movement imaging. This holds true for all action sounds; there's never a shortage of any significant content. Musical presentation is rich and clear, wide and well defined with dominant front side usage supported by nicely integrated surround balance. Minor atmosphere and dialogue reverb in more cavernous locales are pleasantly detailed and seamlessly immerse the listener into the various locales. Overall track accuracy is excellent, and dialogue is stable and clear with firm front-center placement and prioritization.
This UHD release of Star Trek: Nemesis includes a huge assortment of bonus content from the legacy collection. Commentaries are on both
discs and the Blu-ray houses all of the video-based extras as well.
UHD:
Nemesis is arguably the darkest Star Trek movie of them all, tonally and aesthetically alike. The UHD looks amazing, sounds great, and is packed with bonus content. Highly recommended.
