TMP Directors Edition Bluray version vs DVD

All 4 cuts are officially available? Nice! 
The SLV is only in the "complete adventure" boxset, which is well-worth getting if you are a fan of the film.

Complete adventure? Meaning 4 cuts of TMP, or complete adventure meaning all 6 TOS films? Are you talking about this? It looks like the existing TC and DC releases with the SLV as a third disc. Is that right?The SLV is only in the "complete adventure" boxset, which is well-worth getting if you are a fan of the film.

"Complete Adventure" meaning three cuts of TMP (theatrical, Special Longer Version, and Director's Edition). Officially, the 2001 and 2022 Director's Editions are considered the same version.
I edited my above comment before you clicked post reply. It now includes a Blu-ray link, asking if this is it, but you've already answered. As I said before, it looks like it's the existing releases for the TC & DC's, but with a third disc for the SLV. Is that right?
Not quite:
Disc 1: Director's Edition (UHD)
Disc 2: Theatrical & SLV (via branching) (UHD)
Disc 3: Extras (Blu-ray)
The UK/Europe release has two more discs - the DE and the theatrical on regular Blu-ray. These are just the existing Blu-ray discs, so the SLV is *only* available on the UHD disc.
If I just get the TC and DE Blu-ray separately (I don't have a 4K player), will I effectively have everything except the SLV?
Yes, that’s the only exclusive.
On one hand, I like how they did some post-production to fix that little issue as...
It's the bloody freakin' soundstage!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!emphasis!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yeah, the scene of Kirk adding exposition followed by the 30
I am still one of those luddites who prefers the theatrical and SLV cuts, warts and all, to the Director's Edition. But this is my favorite Trek film, and I'll take any of the cuts really.
I do wonder why they changed Kirk and Spock's spacesuits when they decided to redo the sequence, though. They already had the original spacesuits. Why go through the trouble and expense of creating two new ones of a different design, when they were under such a time crunch and the budget was spiraling out of control? I personally like the original suits better.

I wonder if the decision to change the space suits had anything to do with how appropriate the design was for the completely re-imagined Spock Walk? And then when they changed Spock's they went ahead and changed Kirk's.
What do the suits in the lockers look like when Spock neck-pinches "Tiny" from Search for Spock?
Oh, just saw this (I'm late): https://trekmovie.com/2024/09/04/st...5th-anniversary-steelbook-4k-blu-ray-release/

It's not totally unreasonable. They all bring advantages to the table.

I believe they were too hard to breathe in and Nimoy's stunt double passed out.
They're the "memory wall" versions.
In my mind, I paper it over by head-canon'ing that Kirk switched to the beefed-up thruster suit in an attempt to chase after Spock after he sped away.
1) I watched the untouched Kirk scene on the 4K yesterday that is included as a bonus. Yeah, you cannot get away with that. It really is (as I said above) "more scaffolding than ship". The only reason that anyone would have thought they could use it on TV was because they were cropping the sides of the shot so there was only a little bit of stage appearing. But full frame? Yikes.
2) I'm getting used to the officer's lounge. I think this is helped by the fact that the masking on McCoy in the original when he walks in front of the viewer / window is not great to begin with. My "Tallguy Edit" would still use the original, though.
OTOH, the shots of the Enterprise where they found the original elements (they weren't able to do this everywhere)? Oh my stars and garters those shots are revelatory! The original shots aren't BAD, but this cleanup is like opening a window!
I'm glad they were able to find the intended elements of the Earth for Leaving Drydock. But the way the planet is shown still doesn't make a lick of sense.
You should be able to see the Earth behind the Enterprise in all of the profile shots rather than beautiful blackness. But hey, it's a movie.

Gha! I still can't get this right! I meant pseudo-TNG. Yes, there are a lot of TOS sounds in both the 2001 and 2022 versions. But (it seems to me) that there are a lot more TNG kind of beeps and ticks in the 2001, like on the Enterprise B. I don't hear that as much or at all in the 2022.
