THE MOVIES SUPERSTAR EDITION MOVIE

With glistening new motion graphics that read as clean, contextually appropriate reimaginings of the director’s original intention, the Director’s Edition is a celebration of all this movie wanted to be and has finally had the chance to become. As the crew approaches what we’ll eventually come to know as V’ger, the cloud’s details shine brighter than ever before, giving an even stronger nod to 2001: A Space Odyssey. When our crew struggles to regain control during a warp core malfunction, we see their essences stretch and strain through space-time, their struggle much more dynamic than in the first iteration. Paired with the all-consuming soundtrack from the 2001 release, the entire movie feels crisp, bright, and exciting. A true revelry in the grandeur of space odyssey, the digital artistry, and care given to reimagining the look and feel of the original footage feels like an homage. This movie is now a feast for the eyes, complete with stunning new visual effects upgraded for the modern audience. Originally criticized as devoid of enough action sequences and overly indulging in visual effects, this Director’s Edition turns that reaction into a celebration. Now that four decades have passed since the film’s first release, technology has finally caught up to the Trumbull’s initial aspirations, and this cut realizes the movie’s modern space epic potential. The new Director’s Edition doubles down on this original intention, even more effectively realizing Trumbull’s goal. And yet, that’s the point: a celebration of the great human adventure, and traversing this extraordinary world. Watching it, we do spend an awfully long time gazing at the stars and various spacecrafts.
