Star Trek: The Motion Picture 2022 Director's Cut. 4k
I remember seeing this in the cinema when it came out and I remember dubbing it "The Motionless" picture
but boy this version is a whole different league of film. They overhauled it major league from effects to sound
to pacing and edits.
The result a superb film that really is now the epic the original tried to be but didn't quite make the mark. It now has that wow
factor that makes it like 2001 and I think that's what it was originally trying to do.
I ended up watching it in one go and the main reason why it works now is the Vger sequences are now breathtaking and the Enterprises
trip through the structure are captivating.
it really is the only Trek Film that that should be seen on the biggest screen possible. The 4k presentation was superb.

What more can be said. Not just the best Star Trek film ever made but a candidate for the finest cinema version of a TV show ever made.
It's epic on every level. Script, story, acting, effects. An example of what happens when someone who doesn't know anything about a show
bothers to spend the time watching all the old episodes until he knew the show and characters inside out. The final results speak for themselves.
40 years old and it's as fresh as the day it was made. Not one effect had to be updated. Yep it's that good..... Star Trek Got use the first ever Computer animation in a film.
To quote
"
The Wrath of Khan was one of the first films to extensively use electronic images and computer graphics to speed production of shots. Computer graphics company
Evans & Sutherland produced the vector graphics displays aboard the
Enterprise and the fields of stars used in the opening credits. Among ILM's technical achievements was cinema's first entirely computer-generated sequence: the demonstration of the effects of the Genesis Device on a barren planet. The first concept for the shot took the form of a laboratory demonstration, where a rock would be placed in a chamber and turned into a flower. [Effects supervisor Jim] Veilleux suggested the sequence's scope be expanded to show the Genesis effect taking over a planet. While Paramount appreciated the more dramatic presentation, they also wanted the simulation to be more impressive than traditional animation. . . .
The rest is history....
