Finally got back to this project after a year off. Just finished this revision over the weekend.

STAR TREK: THE MOTION PICTURE - 40TH ANNIVERSARY EDITION v2.0 BY BAD ATOM

This cut now includes several scenes and audio sourced from a 720p version of the Special Longer Version (SLV) of the film, upscaled and color graded to match the theatrical footage as best as possible. As well as more significant cuts and changes to the visual effects in some scenes. There were also a number of minor tweaks to the previous 1.0 audio changes, color grading, etc. The goal of this revision was to include the SLV scenes, trim down the overall cut even more, and make a few visual effects changes to improve the narrative flow. (And a few minor changes just for fun.)

LIST OF SIGNIFICANT CHANGES:

  • Opening credits entirely redone with the exception of the film’s title
  • Added “40th Anniversary Edition” to title
  • Added slight movement to the two wide shots of Vulcan, trimmed both shots
  • Trimmed the shot of Spock reacting to V’ger, he no longer holds his hand up to block the non-existent sun
  • Trimmed first establishing shot of floating office, removed other establishing shots
  • Replaced part of “The Enterprise” track with the original version in the latter half of the scene
  • Added shadow of travel pod crossing the spotlight and tweaked color correction from 1.0 shot
  • Removed shot of Kirk before travel pod docks
  • Removed computer voice at end of scene (still needs work)
  • Added scene from SLV - “He wanted her back”

  • Added score when McCoy beams in - from track “A Good Start”
  • Added score when wormhole appears - from track “Meet Vejur”
  • Added sound effects for wormhole appearance and exterior wormhole shots
  • Added slight camera shake to shots where actors were shaking in wormhole scene
  • Flipped back first shot of Kirk in wormhole scene (was originally flipped)
  • Added/cleaned up asteroid explosion effect and included dissipation of wormhole and subtle lighting effect on following shot of viewscreen

  • Additional effects and tweaks from 1.0 version of light probe approaching
