VIDEO – 4¼/5, AUDIO – 4½/5

Paramount releases Star Trek: Discovery onto Blu-ray where it’s presented in its original 2.38 widescreen aspect ratio as originally shown on CBS All Access/Paramount+. The picture is pretty good overall, detail isn’t the best for some of the more distant shots while close-ups looked decent. Colors are bright and vibrant while black levels are stark without appearing crushed. It’s nothing overly striking but still probably on par with how it was streamed. (copied from season 3 review)

Each episode is accompanied with a robust and very impressive DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 track which sounds absolutely fantastic. Dialogue levels sound crisp and clean but where it especially amazes is with the various action-centric scenes which makes usage of every available channel where the surrounds envelop the room and the bass turns for that extra kick rattling the floor with each phaser blast or impact strike.
