UHD BD is much more than just a resolution bump, since the increase in resolution alone is often not really discernible for people at typical TV sizes and seating distances. To play an UltraHD Blu-ray Disc (UHD BD) you must have a new player made for it. UltraHD Blu-ray is the next generation version of Blu-ray, since it is made for UltraHD resolution (4k) it has to hold quite a bit more data, and so it is not backwards compatible. Sure Beyond has plot issues, and relies on a number of tropes both from past Trek and modern-day action movies, however it still feels fresh, has the right amount of humor mixed in, is gorgeous to look at, and has a lot of the right Trek “feels” in a number of scenes throughout the movie. ![]() The pairing of Kirk and Chekov is one of the best unconventional pairings, we get to see the now a bit older and wiser Kirk mentor the youngest member of his bridge crew. Jaylah is clearly the breakout character of the movie, she’s gotten the attention of a lot of fans, and rightfully so, she steals the scene nearly every time she’s on screen.

Chris Pine really seems to have grown into Kirk, and likewise the character of Kirk finally seems like the grown up captain we knew he would become. The actors seem comfortable in their roles and are given lots of good bits to work with. The new franchise is finally able to have a unique adventure in the Kelvin timeline. Star Trek Beyond is the first movie in the new franchise to not be beholden to, or somehow heavily reference, the Prime timeline. Read on for our review of the 4k UHD Blu-ray edition.
