Right corner, raised platform.Is this it (in the red circle)?
LOL, I seem to have my right and left mixed up this morning. I think I need more coffee!
Is this it?
I'll be damned. I've watched TMP a billion times and have never noticed that! That's a cool lil easter egg there.
It’s a Director’s Cut easter egg, one I’ve never felt respected the original intentions of Wise, the effects artists or even the studio at that time.
Would prefer they had gotten rid of that wall/platform completely. Since it’s obvious the shuttles are too wide for the track with it there.
I watched about 20 minutes this morning on my iPad. (The joys and frustrations of having a toddler who does not like to sleep.) Maybe it was watching on my iPad or maybe because it was 4am but why do I feel like some of the travel pod shots with Kirk and Scotty visible look like they did back in the original release? The 2001 shots, I recall, looking better. Also the sparkly letters on the titles? Yikes
The Atmos mix on AirPod Pros is amazing though.

Speaking of easter eggs from TOS, I always liked how in the area of the ship that shows the past Enterprises, you can see the TOS pre-refit Enterprise. Now in 4K it's even clearer!
In that case, I've seen the DE a million times too (but just on DVD). Maybe it's the 480p resolution was too fuzzy for me to ever notice that TOS shuttle lol.

I was expecting them to add the NX ship in there, but that would probably cost too much.
Think I only knew about it because they blow it up in one of the DVD extras.
Speaking of easter eggs referencing TOS, I always liked this one showing a picture of the TOS Enterprise (pre-refit) on the wall in that large meeting area on the ship. Thanks to this 4K remastered version it's really clear now. It was a bit fuzzy even on the non-DE 4K version. Granted, this screenshot is from my 1080p computer monitor since I don't know how to capture a screenshot from my 4K TV, but even here it's really clear.
As much as I like the TOS shuttlecraft easter egg it really shouldn’t be there as that wasn’t something planned for the film originally. That is something I wonder about in this project—them adding things just because they can, but were never planned to be there originally. I would have been really disappointed if they had added the NX-01 to the rec deck scene.
I will reserve judgment until I see the physical release myself in September, but some of the new shots here look maybe a bit too vivid or a bit too saturated in colour to my eyes. Makes it look a bit too cgi to me.

Nice to see the Animated Series Enterprise make an appearance in another Star Trek project.

It looks like an illustration, that's all I meant.
Oh yeah, true.
