I must be missing something, because most of the DC additions and alternate takes are an improvement (especially the bit about Scotty’s nephew, which wasn’t in the theatrical cut and caused Scotty’s subsequent emotional breakdown not to make sense) and the color balance and shadow detail are so much better on the DC.
Hunt mentions that he’ll have more news on Star Trek BDs, so I’m hoping we finally get properly restored versions of the rest of the filmography.
The Director’s cut is the dvd. The one labeled theatrical is the blu ray.
Ah, shit. The detail was pretty bad in the clip, and for some reason I had it stuck in my head that the Blu-ray was the DC.
That is absolutely a letdown. Hopefully Meyer’s participation in the UHD release means we’ll get the DC.
