I remember my little five year old mind getting blown away by this movie at the cinema back in '79.
(1979!!! Damn I’m getting old.)
This release sounds tantalizing and I’d love to see the Purist Version Electric Triangle.
Thanks for any directions.

Hello Electric Triangle,
Could i possibly have a link please to your versions of this.
I have always been a fan of ST:TMP and did have an early version long while back before my pc crashed.

Is V3 and purists version available please.
Many Thanks.

There’s just far too much artifacting there. It may look superficially sharper at a glance, but the detail it’s faking is both uncanny (look at the poor guy’s octopus arm in the lower left) and unfilmic (look at the weird gird pattern it put over everything because it confused MPEG compression for part of the scene). These problems are universal to all machine learning “AI” tools: they are not suited to restoration or archival work. Not to mention half of this plate is (a very outdated) HD scan already, so it’s not even increasing the resolution, just doing odd things to it.

If you want better-looking images, you need a better source. It’s that simple; there’s no magic shortcut you can take. I really hope Paramount greenlights a 4K restoration of this film, because that’s the only way we will get it in the quality it deserves.

Hi ElectricTriangle,

I discovered this forum and read about your edit of ST:TMP after digging around online, trying to find out about a Blu-ray release of the Director’s Edition.

Could you possibly send me a link for Star Trek: The Motion Picture - Director’s Edition HD Recreation v3 as I’m very curious to see the upscaling of the source material from the DE DVD.

I run a blog and have been writing for over a decade. I would very much like to review your recreation, as I’m sure it would be of interests to my readers.

Regards,

Roger Edwards.

Hello!

I am very interested in the Purist Edition: is there a way you could send me a link for the download?

I have seen both the theatrical version in HD and the Director’s Edition (I own the DVD) and I would really love to see the best of the two combined!

Can no longer wait for the 4k release after news of it back in summer 2019…c’mon Paramount!
Yes, I read the instructions about PM’s. Just posting here as well.

But some scene are not of the Director’s Cut. In the scene of kirk, spock and McCoy in the officers Lounge from the windows there’isnt the Warp Nacelle. When the Enterprise came in the V-Ger Location the scene is from the Teatrical Edition, not of the Director’s.

There are two versions of this, the purist edition has the further DVD effects you want. I will pm you the links.

Yes. If you have the link, is a pleasure download this edition.
Thanks.

It was very sad to hear of the death of the legendary Doug Trumbull but he was consulting with the DE restoration team on the upcoming 4k/Bluray. It looks like they have decided to go all out to fix the tiny imperfections in the special effects. It’s quite exciting!

I am waiting to see what it looks like before considering what any ultimate cut should look like. The Theatrical Cut bluray is incredibly sharp although Kirk looks a bit purple in some scenes.

I would definitely want to keep Grace Lee Whitney in the main credits as I have been prepping some deepfaked tweaked scenes with her in.

We finally have a release date for the new 4K/HD master of Star Trek: The Motion Picture - The Director’s Edition, releasing April 5th on Paramount+ with a disc release later in the year! Produced by the orignal team, this release is very exciting, and I can hardly wait. Obviously the new master will have different creative decisions with regards to how best update the old CGI, (from the trailer, some of it very nice and some is quite iffy) but irregardless, the general quality of the new edition should thoroughly exceed my old fanedit and will be the one to watch. This project will still remain up for posterity, but for first-time viewing, I will direct you to what hopefully will be the definitive edition of Star Trek: The Motion Picture.

The trailer looks awesome! I am still hoping to finalise my hybrid cut. There is even a possibility that the scene in Engineering with Scotty and Ilia might be in the outtakes as it looks like they found the soundtrack!

Can someone please spell out specifically what the differences are between the Director’s Edition and the Purist Edition? I’ve read the readme files for both, and absolutely nothing about specifics is given with respect to each’s build. There is only general ideas and concepts, but nothing to establish what content is either in or left out of either version.

TIA

The movie itself was the DE with a slight tweak to the opening credits to include Grace Lee Whitney, I think. I think it was more that it was composited using HD footage from the only existing version - the Theatrical Cut - where possible with maybe some colour correction. The new version coming out in September has had the new DE special effects recomposited from the original so everything should be crisper. I want to do a hybrid cut re-adding in scenes from the Theatrical Cut and the SLV so that should be a fun challenge trying to upscale and colour correct the SLV so that it doesn’t look too weird in comparison.

Thanks for the info. Once you start developing your hybrid, if you need a beta-watcher, by all means let me know. I’ve previewed several items in the past for various users and many were thankful for the feedback that I gave. If not, I understand. I look forward to your project.
