Nicholas Meyer, who directed one of Star Treks most-popular films The Wrath of Khan, has announced that the film will receive a 4K/Ultra HD release.

Can’t have too much Shatner.
Closer than you might think. Have you ever read Beat to Quarters by C. S. Forester? Horatio Hornblower is hunting down a Spanish megalomaniac who has taken a ship, and the final battle takes place in a fog bank.
It was the best “Star Trek” movie but it was just fairly good.
The others, especially the first movie were pretty bad.
With the Obama recovery, I am dropping cable once the contract is up at the end of June. I am trying to cut costs and keep costs low.
Everything is too expensive for one person.
Khan’s last words in Trek II are almost identical to Ahab’s last words in Moby Dick.
Worth it.
That cow is the best of them.
Khan! you tell me when it will be released?
STAR TREK First Contact was pretty good as well
I’m going to wait and see what Frontier does when they take over. Complete silence from both Verizon and Frontier about the transition. Only communication was from Verizon - I had to sign up for AOL mail a couple of weeks ago or my email would be cut off immediately. (No transition window at all).
Of course, it shows the lack of competence at TimeWarner that they can’t figure out how to use this in their marketing.

Regular Blu-ray doesn’t support 4k. There is a new Blu-ray format that holds more data to accommodate 4k. You’ll need a new player and 4k tv to use/view the new 4K Ultra HD discs.
(But making even more money off of fanboys will never go out of fashion
)
There is actually some 4K content on Youtube. I tried watching it on my computer and got the blue screen of death.
It rebooted okay, but I’m not going to try that gain.
You question tickled my curiosity, so I searched and found this answer:
“Kodak states that 35mm film has the equivalent of 6K resolution. Archivists generally agree that 4k scanning of 35mm is more than adequate for archival purposes. A 15 perforation 70mm IMAX film negative captures at an estimated 18K, which is the equivalent of 18,000 pixels.”
Well played, sir. Well played.
Yes, and that’s why I upgraded to the ROKU Ultra, a 4K player, so that I can watch YouTube 4K videos, and 4K movies through VUDU.
It’s with a 4K video like this that I appreciate fully a 4K TV...

BTY, for my 720P Computer monitor, I just set the YouTube function to “Auto”, and most videos will play at the highest rate up to 720P, even if the video has 1080P or 4K or higher available.
A 4K UHD version of the movie has not yet been released. The, the 2016 Director’s Cut Blu-ray was remastered in 4K, but was released in 1080p HD.
