    PHE Press Release: Star Trek: The Motion Picture: Fully Restored Director's Edition (4k UHD) (Paramount+ Streaming)

    the main 'problem' scene is is the "Kirk leaves the ship to go on the spacewalk" where the set scaffolding shows badly. Of course, it showed badly in the 4:3 crop, also. All that would have to be done would be to zoom in even further to make the best compromise between cropping and revealing set...
