TMP-DE fully restored in 4K…it’s about time!
- Thread starter Warped9
- Start date
Wonder if or how much of the extended edition was included.
Looking forward to it, but the P+ app ... Sucks.... At least in the Xbox

I'm not even planning to subscribe to P+ just for this, I'll hold out for the far superior version on Blu-ray.
I don't have the patience! Back when the DVD was released, I bought a DVD player JUST to be able to watch this version of the movie. Although I'm a much bigger fan of owning physical media, I have no doubt that I'll be logged into P+ on April 5th to see how this new version of the film came out.

Personally I'd rather wait for the UHD disc. Physical media still beats the compression/encoding of streaming content.
I don't think any more scenes were inserted into this cut that had previously appeared in the special longer edition as opposed to the theatrical cut. This is essentially the same movie as the 2001 Director's Edition, just with visuals revamped.

I'm not in a huge rush and would rather wait to see it in all of it's HD glory as opposed to seeing a badly compressed streamed version.
I will get it on DVD, rip it off the DVD and transfer it to VHS so I can have my best experience.
I love VHS that much.
The original Director's Edition has been available on DVD for years, why not copy that to VHS instead?

I have not had difficulties so far in utilizing VHS. No doubt that will change, but I like thrift shopping.
I should add that I will move more towards DVD as money allows, but I prefer VHS if I can. There's a beautiful simplicity to it.
But both are the Director's Edition ..........
And? It's something to fiddle with.
Trust me when I say I am extremely strange about my AV choices.
You could buy it on VHS. (not my auction)The original Director's Edition has been available on DVD for years, why not copy that to VHS instead?
Which goes against the authorial intent of the original TMP creative team where Earth is mostly parkland. Only a small part of Old San Francisco exists, mostly as a tourist and museum attraction. And most everything else, transportation and residential, is underground.
Something Roddenberry had in other abandoned scripts for TMP, including The God Thing.
I'd be surprised if there's a DVD release - there's the original version for that!
How dull. Glad they didn't go that route.
Did Gene ever try to explain how they'd actually pull that off? I doubt living in an underground cavern would be a pleasant experience.
The claustrophobia would be off the charts...
