The 1979 film Star Trek: The Motion Picture is beloved by many fans, with some considering it the most cinematic of the original series movies. However, it was famously rushed to theaters, leaving director Robert Wise with a list of things he wanted to do left undone. But in 2001, he had the chance to create the “Director’s Edition” on DVD, which Wise considered his “final cut” and included new visual effects.
The original theatrical cut has been remastered in HD and that is the version available on Blu-ray and for streaming on Paramount+ and other services. Today, Paramount announced they will be remastering Wise’s Director’s Edition in 4K Ultra HD with Dolby Vision™ high dynamic range (HDR), along with a new Dolby Atmos® soundtrack. This restored version will debut first on Paramount+. It will likely be released at a later date on Blu-ray and possibly other streaming services following the exclusive window on Paramount+.
