I'm going to have to go with the DE, though I kinda wish they had done even more editing to tighten things up even more. The pacing of TMP is still rather slow in that version, and they could have trimmed a little more to help speed things up.
 
Ok, I understand the sfx for the Robert Wise edit of the film were rendered at too low a res for 1080p, but I really can't stand watching the damn unfinished theatrical cut. I sat through it as a kid in the theater and loved it, but I've been spoiled for the last ten years by a beautifuly FINISHED film, and can't go back to watch one of Paramount's worst blunders.

Why on earth weren't the new effects rendered higher? It seems as if we're doomed to forever suffer from the awfull decisions made in the last days of production by Lindsley Parsons Jr. and Jeffrey Katzenberg.

I need to see this shot in Hi-Def which doesn't exist in the original edit.

I want to watch a finished film, not the damn "workprint" that was rushed into theaters just to meet a release date. A problem that's now repeating itself with the sequel to 2009's "STAR TREK" (The first script is set to be delevered in March, and Paramount is sticking to their June 29, 2012 opening day)! WTF!?!

Please, tell me someone is working on SOMETHING for STMP in Hi-Def?
