42:09 / 43:43
Two frames with the Photon torpedo were simply removed in the middle of the DVD-DC. After the torpedo has been launched, a blue reflection appears briefly in the upper left corner. 4K-DC 0.1 sec longer
Note: Such a colored reflection was also seen in the original theatrical version, but in red. That was the brief moment that was simply removed here for the DVD-DC. With the advanced digital technology, this could be covered up more cleverly.
42:12-42:23 / 43:46-43:58 When the asteroid explodes, the Enterprise was already added to the front of the picture for the DVD-DC. For the 4K DC, this shot was revised again. The following shot with the screen also deviates.
Here is the same bit from the theatrical version without Enterprise. There were also cuts to the crew, which were removed for the DC.
47:49-47:59 / 49:37-49:48 During recompositing, a few transparent spots on the models were corrected here, through which stars could be seen shining through. Better visible on the small screenshots is also that reddish reflections were added to the left and right on the windows. Such a shot follows again shortly after.
51:27-51:34 / 53:25-53:32 In the DVD-DC, a nacelle was added to the background. For the 4K DC, the entire background was replaced again.
Here is the original shot from the theatrical version:
51:53-52:00 / 53:52-53:59 Here, too, the background deviates accordingly.
52:29-52:36 / 54:30-54:37 Ditto.
53:35-53:53 / 55:38-55:57 A few more times.
Relevant audio change 54:12 / 56:17 Scotty's comment was already substituted in 2001 and can now be heard even a bit better: "Bypass! Alternate integrators."
Relevant audio change 56:09 / 58:19 Sulu confirms "Tactical on viewers" while in the old version he said "Tactical plot on viewer". This is preceded by the fact that Kirk's corresponding instruction has also been substituted with the ADR materials (with the same spoken words though).
Relevant audio change 57:08 / 59:21 For the shot of the screen Ilia comments from off screen: "Impact in 30 seconds."
57:48-58:00 / 60:02-60:14 Green rays can be seen during the attack on the Enterprise. Accordingly, shots of Chekov are now also colored green, while they had different colors in the old versions.
Here is the first image from the theatrical version - the second shot breaks off there again earlier than shown on the DC screenshots.
59:11-59:18 / 61:28-61:35 Weird: In this shot, which was added for the DVD-DC, the left part with Kirk was played backwards in the 4K-DC. So he now leans a bit forward to Spock instead of backward.
59:37-59:38 / 61:56- A shot of Kirk starts a bit early in the DVD-DC. + 0.9 sec
60:08-60:12 / 62:27-62:31 The Enterprise had to be recreated as a completely new CGI model in this shot as well. On the small screenshot size, it's interesting to see how closely this resembles the design of the time. However, an additional reflection effect can definitely be seen here as well. This shot is impressive in full 4K resolution, because the new model is really designed in extreme detail.
This was already a shot supplemented exclusively for the DC. The theatrical version had a different shot of Ilia inside.
61:21-61:27 / 63:43-63:49 The shot of Kirk with the screen was rebuilt. The screen is now slightly wider and so is Kirk.
This was already a shot supplemented exclusively for the DC. The theatrical version had a closer shot of the screen.
Relevant audio change 62:06 / 64:29 Kirk's "Viewer, standard ahead" was replaced with the ADR recording, which sounds way more emotional.
63:25-63:29 / 65:52-65:56 A pan through the clouds was newly built here and shows slightly different shapes.
Relevant audio change 68:31 / 71:12 For the DVD-DC, "Reverse angle on the viewer, Captain" was added after "Viewer astern". In the 4K DC, "Reverse angle on the viewer" is simply repeated as confirmation instead.
70:21-70:39 / 73:06-73:25 When the (small) Enterprise flies past V'ger here, the spaceship can be seen much further to the left in the 4K DC. In addition, the Enterprise now rotates around its own axis. This is a sensible change, because it fits much better for the continuity to what you see afterwards when the Enterprise turns at the end of the V'ger ship. On the small screenshot size of course only vaguely recognizable by the fact that the lights in the second comparison image are on the other side of the ship.
70:45 / 73:31 DVD-DC and 4K-DC are identical here, but the scene deserves a mention because of the theatrical version: Namely, there you saw something else on the screen.
70:48-70:54 / 73:34-73:41 The exterior shot of the Enterprise was revised. In the following shot inside, the image was also colored white for a longer time during the DVD-DC transition. Immediately afterwards, the picture was also stabilized a bit throughout.
This was already a shot supplemented exclusively for the DC. The theatrical version had a completely different shot instead.
71:12-71:19 / 73:59-74:07 The beam of the probe was made slightly wider in the 4K DC.
71:44-71:19 / 74:33-74:07 Here, the image has been zoomed in a bit to cut off the upper part of the image. There you could see earlier that the beam does not reach the ceiling.
Similar adjustments continue through several shots in the following minute. Here is an example of a moment near the end of the scene from 73:07 / 76:00, where a different color on the right side of the image is also noticeable.
74:11-74:23 / 77:06-77:18 The small Enterprise flying through the picture (center below) was replaced by a CG model.
76:11-76:19 / 79:11-79:20 A flickering light has been added to the Enterprise (at the very bottom of the image) at the bottom.
In the original theatrical version, the deflector of the Enterprise was still blue. This has already been corrected in the DVD-DC to a yellowish hue, which can also be seen in all shots around the perimeter. The similar issue occurs again in the further course of the film in shots from the same perspective.
Shortly after, a reflection on the screen was faded out a bit. Later in the scene, a flicker on the monitors in the background was again slightly corrected. Relevant audio change 76:48 / 79:53 Uhura's phrase "Captain, photic sonar readings indicate the aperture is closing" is still exactly identical in wording, but is clearly from a different ADR recording.
Relevant audio change 79:11-79:52 / 82:22-83:06 Hard to summarize: Several off-commentaries from the theatrical version have been removed from the DVD-DC. In the 4K DC, there are now alternative ADR recordings of these comments, some of which also come in other places and deviate.
86:38-87:13 / 90:05-90:42 Curiously, an alternate take was used here in the DVD-DC, in which Ilia has a different body position. Decker also stands a bit differently - and even more striking: the shot of V'ger on the left of the frame has been completely reworked. This is also the case in the following shots, which otherwise show the same takes again.
The original theatrical version featured the same take as in the 4K DC, but the background behind Decker was still black (probably because the effects shot wasn't finished in time back then).
In the shot immediately afterwards, a flickering light was again added to Enterprise, similar to 76:11-76:19 / 79:11-79:20. 91:49-91:52 / 95:30-95:33 Here you can see basically the same shot, with Spock whirring around in front of a computer-generated iris that is slowly closing. The 4K version has been regenerated and so, for example, the glow around Spock now looks a bit better.
In the original theatrical version, the iris looked quite different.
91:52 / 95:33-95:36 Interestingly, a whole new shot was added here, where you can already see the rings that suddenly appear behind Spock in the follow-ups. So with this change the continuity was improved. 3.2 sec
92:16 / 96:02 Possibly simply due to the nowadays absolutely outdated picture quality of the old DVD in SD, but it is noticeable in a direct comparison: The highlights, especially on the right side of the picture, now look much bigger.
93:06-93:13 / 96:53-97:00 As so often, it's hard to show on screenshots: The shot of the planets used to run at a speed of 12fps (more or less like silent movies) and this has now been adjusted. In addition, the planets themselves have also been enlarged a bit, so that you don't see the matte lines around them so well.
98:04-98:19 / 102:04-102:20 As V'ger approaches here in the direction of Earth, the whole shot has been exchanged again....
...after it looked quite different in the theatrical version anyway.
Here you can see the new model of the V'ger as a high-resolution original file, which was used for the digital compositing of the 4K release. Relevant audio change 98:36 / 102:38 Newly added comment: "Who the hell is V'ger sending the signal to?"
