Trent B 337 Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 Star Trek IV didn't have a director's cut. Star Trek: The Motion Picture and Star Trek II were the only ones that had director's cut. All though Star Trek VI was changed slightly during the melding scene between Spock and Valaris for the special edition DVD set. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wojo 2,453 Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 I didn't care too much for the flashback additions to the mind meld sequence. I thought the sound effects made the scene corny. Maybe that's because I had watched the movie so many times, I already knew who the conspirators were, and the flashbacks were added to emphasize the faces for those who were seeing it for the first time, a la 1991.No isolated scores? These guys aren't making it worth my while to buy Blu-Ray. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlie Brigden 7 Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 I agree. I think it's absolutely cheesy and a bit insulting to the audience.

These guys aren't making it worth my while to buy Blu-Ray.I agree about the flashbacks too. I never cared for it myself and the fact they cut off Chekov's lines Spock and Valaris said, "Admiral Cartwright" and Chekov said, "From Starfleet!?" Oh and I forgot I think they added a line for Kirk before that point too which didn't bother me that much. Either way it'll be nice to have these on Blu-Ray and I'm for sure getting them once they're available. The Digital Bits also reported that The Next Generation movies (Generations through Nemesis) will most likely come out on Blu-Ray in a 4 pack later this year in time for the holiday's. Regarding isolated scores Wojo....this is PARAMOUNT we're talking about, they aren't going to put isolated scores on their Star Trek movies. They never did before so why would they now? Paramount is very stingy as what gets released regarding Star Trek and they will never put isolated scores for the movies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lurker 5 Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 The theatrical cut of Star Trek VI has never been issued on home video. Every release on video has included the "Colonel West" character and "Operation: Retrieve" as well as the discussion between Scotty, Spock and Valeris about the torpedoes. None of these scenes were in the theatrical version.The original cut of TMP doesn't interest me anymore.Neil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw the movie in theaters but I don't really recall it that much. It'll be interesting to watch the movie with out the said scenes.The original cut of TMP doesn't interest me anymore.Same here, I much prefer the Director's Cut. I hope they have been working on redoing all the fx's in higher format for high def. That was a dumb move by ILM not to save them at the highest possible format.

Wojo 2,453 Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 The first version of Star Trek VI that I ever saw was the theatrical cut, because that's what they showed on TV in the mid 90's and I taped it. I had a bootleg rip of the extended cut with Colonel West that I watched until I bought the DVD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ollie 1,059 Posted February 18, 2009 Share Posted February 18, 2009 I've only ever seen The Director's Cut.Well I will admit Vulcan looks better and it's nice to have proper opening credits.And I do give them credit for making the additional VSFX shots look like they were shot 1979, unlike Lucas who's CGI butchering of the original trilogy is a travesty, the shots stick out badly compared to the original film.But in all honesty you can't fix a 2 hr + plus film that had too many problems to begin with by snipping a few seconds here and there and adding new eye candy.

Charlie Brigden 7 Posted February 18, 2009 Share Posted February 18, 2009 I think the new external shots of Vger stick out a bit. And the Vger fireball things, which are way obvious CG. But the other stuff is good. I prefer the old credits, though.But yeah, I don't think the film really changed much. It certainly didn't solve any of its problems, as effects were always the least of its worries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ollie 1,059 Posted February 18, 2009 Share Posted February 18, 2009 Yeah you can notice most of the new shots. Like I said Vulcan looks better but I thought the original Starfleet Golden Gate shot looked fine, the new doesn't look any better, in fact there's no life to it. I know it's supposed to imitate one but it looks too much like a matte painting, if that makes sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hitch 57 Posted February 18, 2009 Share Posted February 18, 2009 If only Shatner was allowed to go back and do a "Director's Cut" of TTF.....like clean up that Yosemite freefall for starters. Must have been all those "marshmelons".In J.M. Dillard's novelization (and in the original script William Shatner contributed to) Doctor McCoy played a practical joke on Spock, reprogramming the computer to display "marshmelon" instead of "marshmallow". Although this wasn't filmed, the error in Spock's pronunciation and Doctor McCoy's delight in it are evident in the movie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
