Paramount has released 'Star Trek V: The Final Frontier' to Blu-ray with a remastered 1080p transfer. The disc replaces the imperfect 2009 issue. No new primary audio track or supplemental contents are included. This disc is available individually and has also been released on UHD, which is also available as part of a six-film UHD boxed set.
Star Trek V: The Final Frontier arrives on Blu-ray "remastered from a 4K scan of the original film elements." Derided, decried, and doubted
though the
film may be amongst fans, Paramount has not cut any corners for this new Blu-ray presentation. This is a handsomely filmic image, true to the
source and boating a fine grain structure
that is even and pleasing and without massive fluctuations in density or any sign of scrubbing. On the contrary, and unlike the previous picture which
looked fairly waxy and artificial, this has a very pure, satisfying appearance about it. Details are very true and attractive, revealing skin with superb
clarity and costumes with tactile layers and levels and material elements. Locations are beautifully rendered as well. Whether the dusty nothingness
of
Nimbus III, the natural splendor and diverse complexity of the Yosemite Park landscape and the mountain face, or the bridge of the Enterprise, every
location looks clear and complex.
Colors enjoy stable accuracy. The palette here is rendered much more truly compared to the previous Blu-ray, which looked garish and oversaturated.
Here, tones are not dim or dull but rather coming from a place of improved realism. Red Starfleet uniforms stand apart for authenticity and look a bit
fuller than they do on the remastered Blu-ray for The Undiscovered Country. Bright clothes out in the sunlight at
Yosemite,
and the natural greens around the park, pop with all of the vibrancy Blu-ray can muster. Black levels are excellent, especially out in space. Whites
can't reach the level
of intensity and realism as found on the companion Dolby Vision UHD, but they look great for Blu-ray. This is a resoundingly good image and a
well worthy upgrade over the very iffy 2009 release.
This Blu-ray release of Star Trek V: The Final Frontier recycles the existing Dolby TrueHD 7.1 lossless soundtrack from the 2009 Blu-ray. Please click here for a full review.
This Blu-ray release of Star Trek V: The Final Frontier includes all of the extras from the 2009 Blu-ray collection release. See below
for a list of what's included and please click here for full coverage. A digital
copy code is included with purchase. A DVD copy is not. This release does not ship with a slipcover.
Maligned though the film may be, its Blu-ray transfer will be thoroughly celebrated. Paramount has done a wonderful job on this Blu-ray and brought much needed newfound life to the film. While the audio and supplements are simply ports, the content remains very good even all these years later. Highly recommended.
