Simon Pegg · 2000s

dir. J.J. Abrams

The fate of the galaxy rests in the hands of bitter rivals. One, James Kirk, is a delinquent, thrill-seeking Iowa farm boy. The other, Spock, a Vulcan, was raised in a logic-based society that rejects all emotion. As fiery instinct clashes with calm reason, their unlikely but powerful partnership is the only thing capable of leading their crew through unimaginable danger, boldly going where no one has gone before. The human adventure has begun again.

A-Tier Paramount 4K. J.J. Abrams' MI entry with Philip Seymour Hoffman as the villain, and part of the matching 1-6 steelbook re-release set from July. People are building custom display cases for the MI steelbook collection. The series artwork consistency became a talking point when Fast & Furious was cited as the standard for keeping steelbook art matching across entries.

The new 4K steelbook got people hoping the entire Cornetto trilogy would follow. The 4K transfer itself is divisive, with at least one commenter calling the Shaun/Hot Fuzz/World's End set maybe the worst 4K discs they own. Gruv's 3-for-$30 and Amazon deals keep the price reasonable. The Cornetto trilogy 4K set has been as low as $27 USD on Amazon, making it the better value over individual steelbooks.

D-Tier Universal 4K. The D-Tier rating has people confused because Edgar Wright's films are so visually precise. Multiple collectors have said the 4K actually looks worse than the Blu-ray, and the hope is Universal gives it the Shaun of the Dead treatment for the 20th anniversary in 2027.
