I know. I can’t imagine making it that long.
News Star Trek: The Motion Picture Director's Cut is being restored in 4K, launching first on Paramount+
- Thread starter KlingonCereal
- Start date
I added the SLV scenes back to the DE plus the Memory Wall scene and that still only came in at about 2h24I know. I can’t imagine making it that long.
Looking at 15 minutes an hour of adverts.
So 2.20 seems right for 3 hours.

One of the biggest differences you'll take note of immediately is how different the sound design is.
- Buttons now beep and chirp
- The Enterprise bridge now has an ambient background noise with an occasional TOS' bridge sound thrown in
- The male computer voice is GONE, and where a computer voice is needed (Spock's arrival to the Enterprise), a more appropriate female voice is used.
- The Red Alert klaxon has been redone from a sound drowning alarm to a more spread out digital sounding version.
- V'Ger's evolution now sounds way more intense.
And they're likely to redo a lot of the sound design for this updated version as well. We've already received confirmation that this will be the first classic Star Trek film to receive a Dolby Atmos track so I'm really looking forward to hearing how they're going to pull that off.
The ABC-TV US premiere version of TMP was the one released on home video as the "Special Longer Version". IIRC, the only addition to the VHS was the Overture.
I saw it called that on the back of a TMP DVD. I assume it was called that as it was 3 hours, with ads on a TV channel.
Orthos?

Just out: a new Movie Obliette video podcast on the 4K DE… with the DE Team!

In the UK, the preorders are up for the 4K Blu ray on Zavvi. There is even a collector’s edition, which comes with the “even longer” cut in 4K.

The official STAR TREK site has a breakdown of the September 6 "The Complete Adventure" release.
My dreams of a Criterion-like TMP release have finally come true!

That's... very cool.
I don't buy physical media, but would have to consider making an exception in this case. Love those lobby cards and bumper stickers.

Steelbook is a rip-off.I'm glad there's not one.
Why "glad" ?
Wait, that is the UK release? is the US getting a full release? (no pun intended lol)
