Anyone know why there's an odd mix of resolutions for the Star Trek movies?

Available in HDR:
- Star Tek (2009 JJ Abrahms reboot)
- Star Trek: Into Darkness
- Star Trek: Beyond
- Star Trek 1 - The Motion Picture:
- Star Trek 2
- Star Trek 3
- Star Trek 4
- Star Trek 5
- Star Trek 6

BUT these are only available in Blu-Ray quality:
- Star Trek 7
- Star Trek 8
- Star Trek 9
- Star Trek 10
 
That matches other platforms, so I'd guess that Paramount just hasn't remastered 7-10 yet. Probably started with the first of the original series and are working their way through them, and then the 3 more recent movies have it because it wouldn't take as much work and they are fairly popular still.

CBS historically has been releasing Star Trek content in installments. The Wrath of Khan got the first 4K HDR treatment being the best and the most popular of the franchise. Later followed by 3 and 4 to complete the Genesis Trilogy then TMP, 5 and 6 to complete the original crew films. Expect the TNG crew films next holiday season. The Kelvin timeline films were already new enough so their initial releases were in 4K HDR.

TMP already got a second 4K HDR release, the Director's edition which we are missing in the Kstore. I hope it is coming soon. So far, I have been ignoring buying discs but I really like TMP and the Director's edition looks awesome.
