Just finished watching this edit, and have to echo the comments regarding the fluctuating sound levels. Most dialogue was ridiculously low level, requiring an increase in volume and as soon as any effects were introduced (i.e. V’Ger firing it’s weapons) I was blown back in my seat and scrambling for the sound remote.
Also, it’s been mentioned before but heavy pixelation in reds. Even my wife commented on this, and she generally never mentions things like this.
Lastly, there was way too much black space at the top and bottom of my screen, and the image itself looked “squashed” due to the 4:3 letterboxing.
In all, though, this was a great version of the film, and made what I always felt was the worst of the series a very enjoyable film. I’d give it a 7/10
