Both of those shots had multipoint lighting and the focus was a bit soft. So the software is unintentionally ageist and does not preserve wrinkles well at all.
If I remember my Star Trek trivia correctly, the people who made the movie did this on purpose (by applying Vaseline to the camera lens) because for some reason they were pretending that it was only three years after the events of the series, when in fact the production was ten years later, so they were trying to hide how old the actors were. That’s why Wrath of Khan had such a heavy theme about aging, so they could lean into how old everyone was getting instead of using camera tricks to avoid it.
