Looks like we are getting a 4k version of the SLV and bluray versions of the deleted scenes.

Any word on if those few bad shots are being fixed?

Nothing official yet. I’d be surprised if they did but then I’m surprised they are releasing it in 4k at all.

Edit: Apparently David C Fein confirmed on Twitter that they added digital effects to the airlock scene! That bodes well for a cleaned up version!

So this should be the best version of the movie then.

Hmm, I like a lot of the edits in the DE but I also like the character scenes from the SLV. You won’t find any consensus over which version is best.

I meant in regards to the effects that had no work done on them a look bad getting fixed. I can’t talk about the quality of the movie because I never seen any of og Star Trek same goes for most of Star Trek the next generation.

Actually Star Trek the Motion Picture remains a visually impressive movie even before you take it into account that it is 40 years old. They mostly just improved overall picture and sound.

There are still a few minor issues and many people find the movie itself to be a bit slow, but those that love it, really love it.

The only scene that needs significant polish in the new version is the officers’ lounge. Personally, I think the original was fine, but some people were confused about where it was on the ship. Picking one of the smaller lounges elsewhere on the ship and picking a star field appropriate for that location would be fine.

These shots are the only ones that I think are bad in the director’s cut not sure if there’s more.

Yes the problem I found was that due to aspect ratio and colour grade of the various existing versions it meant that it’s not possible to just fix the problem frames. You have to do the whole shot.

David c Fein described the rotoscoping as ‘quick and dirty’ so I am going to wait and see if it gets improved in the 4k release before putting in too much effort.

I hope the improvement is actually good and not a garbage rush job. I hope we see it sooner than sept.

Release date is 5th September 2022. I’m not expecting any changes but you never know.

You said this. David c Fein described the rotoscoping as ‘quick and dirty’ so I am going to wait and see if it gets improved in the 4k release before putting in too much effort. So are those shots what he was talking about or not?

Yes he was referencing the lounge scenes but they would only be improved if the Paramount release was ahead of schedule i.e. before the project was finalised. There was no additional budget for a do-over.

So it’s always going to look like garbage good job paramount.

Too soon to say. My own version will be the version of the scene I like the most. The rest of the release is fairly close to perfect with more than a few wow moments when I saw it for the first time. One slightly dodgy scene doesn’t detract completely from all the other great stuff in this release.
