To boldly go…where the fans having been dying to go for quite some time….
On this very special episode we are letting our nerd flag fly as we glory in some classic Star Trek films which are now available for the first time in 4K!
We go to the start of it all as we dive into The Complete Adventure of Star Trek: The Motion Picture: The Director’s Edition which has all three cuts of the film together in the same place simply never having looked better.
In celebration of this release which is at retailers now, we had the unique pleasure of sitting down with producer David C Fein who has been with this film since it’s original theatrical release. We talked about the work involved with this new cut, if it’s ultimately the cut Robert Wise wanted and so very much more….
Star Trek: The Motion Picture The Director’s Edition Complete Adventure is available on 4K at retailers now.
David Voigt is a Toronto based writer with a problem and a passion for the moving image and all things cinema. Having moved from production to the critical side of the aisle for well over 15 years now at outlets like Examiner.com, Criticize This, Dork Shelf (Now That Shelf), and to.Night Newspaper.

However, In the uncertain world of modern film journalism, David also knew that he needed to have a hand in writing and cementing his own contributions on the global film scene.
Having eclipsed the 10 year anniversary of his own outlet, In The Seats, where he’s been striving to support film (and TV) from all walks of life and his podcast “In The Seats With…” where after 5 & ½ years and over 750 episodes he’s talked with a wide variety of filmmakers, actors, behind the scenes artisans and so much more on the art of storytelling for the screen, which is spawning the launch of a new show in the Spring of 2026. “ITS: Soundtracks” will focus on the use of soundtrack and score in film which he believes is a combination that is the cinematic equivalent of Peanut Butter and Chocolate.
All this as well as hosting and moderating a variety of big screen events around the city, covering film in all its forms is just a way of life for him.
