News Star Trek: The Motion Picture Director's Cut is being restored in 4K, launching first on Paramount+

The DE team has answered my prayers in giving me almost exactly the set I've been dreaming of... and it's scary how close it matches the idea I had nearly one year ago today, down to the name of the documentary:

 

Three new scenes? That's news to me. Exciting! I would love to see more of the Memory Wall.

 

That's my take too. The fact that I've deliberately skipped all the blu ray releases (bar the kelvin trilogy) means that I can splurge on these 4k versions and I'll be getting enough of an upgrade to justify the purchase.

 

Same here, the only TOS film I have on blu-ray is the TWOK DC, so I haven't really bought these films on disc since the DVDs came out twenty years ago. Though I did buy the 10-film set on iTunes at a very low price last year, so if I'm honest with myself I may not bother to buy the rest of the films on 4K disc until they've dropped in price.

 

Me too! And I was so delighted when they automatically updated the files to the brand new masters. I don’t know if they’re 4k or not but I don’t have a 4k tv so it doesn’t matter. They look fantastic to me regardless.

I do recall that the TWOK DC was in 4K on iTunes long before the 4K disc release.

Indeed it was. It was the first movie I watched in 4k when i set up my new TV in October 2020.

 

No SLV on BluRay? No buy for me, the DE can get lost!

 

The UK version seems to be a 5 disc set, with BDs for the theatrical and DE. I'm assuming the theatrical will just be the regular BD from the other set and won't have the SLV, leaving that a 4K exclusive.

Would be good to get that confirmed.

 

I'm absolutely getting the TMP set as soon as it comes out, simply because my DVD is almost unwatchable these days and I'm really looking forward to seeing it, closely followed by TWOK. I'll get the rest individually as and when.

 

Zavvi.com is selling it for $77.99. Amazon should drop accordingly, I imagine

Correct, it is a UHD exclusive.

 

It adds up. A UHD for the Director's Cut, one for the theatrical/broadcast versions, a Blu-Ray for the DC, the one that already exists for the theatrical, and a final Blu-Ray for extras.

I dislike that Blu-Ray is effectively getting hosed with the domestic release. I won't be getting this. I could play it, but my TV wouldn't give a damn. The full movie set seems to be the way to go. And even that deal is kind of a ripoff, with what's already been released.

 

Are they not going to make V & Vi available separately? That's quite annoying although I can live without them. I've pre-ordered the limited edition.

 

Final Frontier
Undiscovered Country

Outside of the links, the news articles are pretty clear in saying V and VI will be released individually.

 

They are. Individual sets with release poster artwork

 

It's just less than ideal. People bought the I-IV box on good faith.

 

Are they getting fancy releases as well?

 

Nope not like TMP. TMP is the only film getting this treatment
