Paramount has upgraded the last two films of the Star Trek original cast to 4K, making a complete six-film set. It now also includes the the Director’s Edition of Star Trek: The Motion Picture.

Minions in 4K give you the yellowest yellow you can ever imagine. For Minions: The Rise of Gru, purple is a striking color too. Belle Bottom (Taraji P.
