Just having a quick play with color.
Guess at what shot was meant to look like
Original version
Pretty big difference and I think even if it meant fixing up the washed out effects through grading it better, it would be worth doing something like this to unlock the potential some of the shots already have which are sorely lacking vibrancy.
Would make for a very interesting color grade project for the special effects shots just to bring those up a notch would propel the film towards a much more enjoyable experience. It looks far less like a cardboard cut out now also. Forgive youtube screen grab it was only a quick test.
One more guess

Doing this sort of process would not perform a miracle but I do think it’s exactly what it needs. It can look and feel much better than it does.

The last 2 space shots are nowhere near as bad IMO
Missing Matte Element???
