Star Trek: The Motion Picture Director's Edition to get 4K restoration July 7, 2021 by: Star Trek fans out there, myself included. Ten years after the cancellation of The Original Series, the very first Star Trek movie debuted in theaters. STAR TREK: THE MOTION PICTURE reunited the original cast of William Shatner, Leonard Nimoy, DeForest Kelley, George Takei, Nichelle Nichols, Walter Koenig, and James Doohan for an adventure that found the U.S.S. Enterprise seeking to save Earth from a mysterious and immensely powerful alien cloud known as V'Ger. However, director Robert Wise always considered the film to be a rough cut that he was forced to abandon in order to meet the release date, but decades later, Wise was able to oversee a well-received director's cut that was much closer to his original vision.
