Il master è progressivo (1920x1080p) ma da una rece che ho letto (avevo postato il link più dietro) è stato reso tale. Tanto per capirci era un master HD pensato per la tv (probabilmente). Non è che sia così malvagio, ma chi ha schermi grandi le nota le scalettature.
Riporto:
As I wrap up the final review of the 'Original Motion Picture Collection,' it strikes me just how differently each movie in the box set looks than all the others. Most of them have some issues, and 'The Undiscovered Country' is no exception, but no two are quite alike.
In addition to being the first home video release of the movie's theatrical cut, the Blu-ray is also the first time that it's appeared in its original 2.35:1 aspect ratio. 'Star Trek VI' is the only 'Trek' picture to date photographed using the Super 35 format. For previous video editions, director Nicholas Meyer instructed that the mattes be lifted off the top and bottom, exposing some extra picture information for an aspect ratio of approximately 2:1. I guess he felt that the theatrical framing was too tight. The mattes have been put back in place for the Blu-ray. To my eye, the framing looks perfectly fine here, and too loose on the earlier DVD.
Despite all these firsts, the Blu-ray is quite obviously sourced from an older master. I assume that it's either an old broadcast master for the theatrical cut, or that Paramount has simply edited their DVD master to take out the 'Director's Cut' bits, and then applied electronic blanking to the top and bottom.
Of its positive aspects, the 1080p/AVC MPEG-4 transfer is quite sharp and detailed. It exhibits a more consistent high-def appearance than some of the earlier entries (notably 'Star Trek IV'). It also has nice depth and dimensionality, and vivid colors. That blue-skinned alien in the mining camp really pops off the screen.
Unfortunately, Digital Noise Reduction is once again a problem. Facial features sometimes take on a rubbery texture (though not as severely as 'Star Trek III') and grain patterns freeze in place (still, not as badly as 'Star Trek V'). Yet, even with overzealous Noise Reduction, the picture is still very noisy, especially in shadow areas. At the time of this movie's production, Super 35 was known for being a grainy film process. It appears that the grain left after DNR has not been well digitized, and comes across blocky and electronic. Some edge enhancement ringing is visible, no doubt added to sharpen the picture back up after it was softened by the DNR. The transfer is also riddled with aliasing in fine details, which point to it being sourced from a 1080i master that's been deinterlaced at the studio.
Although certainly better than the older DVD, the video on 'Star Trek VI' is another mixed bag, some positive qualities balanced by some negatives. I wish that all of the last four movies in the box set could have lived up to the standard of the first two.
Insomma, la mia idea è fare l'upgrade per quelli che mi sembra valga la pena. Sennò mi tengo i dvd.
