I'd give the original movie a 5 or 6 for enjoyment so Star Trek Reunion is a starship sized upgrade in that department
Enjoyment: 9

bionicbob said:Love the audio work. Great new music cues and background sound FXs throughout the edit. My favourite was by far was hearing the bridge computer say, "Working....". Pure Trek awesomeness!!!
bionicbob said:I really wish Sulu's dreadful offscreen "Why...why it's...." line had been cut...lol.

There's a very warm push in the colours which make the colour scheme pop and look vibrant in HD. In particular, the external shots look absolutely gorgeous. Some facial tones can look a little too warm at times and unfortunately Spock loses some of his yellow pallor in some close ups, but on the whole the editor has made the film look gorgeous.
the first thing you notice is the V'ger first person journey... over the beginning credits... it helps connect V'Ger to Spock in a much stronger way than was originally done. This for me this is an inspired choice from the editor.
I would have preferred either an external shot of Vulcan from space (either taken from the 2009 movie or STIII:TSFS with a caption to place the movie after the credits, or a title card over the fantastic new matte shot created by the editor for this version.
I believe the Spock Kolinarh scene could have been stronger if it was edited back to front... after the titles, I would have liked to have seen Spock looking up immediately to make that connection between him and V'ger stronger.
I feel a shot of the Earth or of a Starbase from III or VI would have helped or even a title card with "Earth, Stardate blah blah" etc.
great tightening of editing throughout the movie but Act 2 and 3 pretty much play out as they did originally.
All in all, this fan edit is my preferred version
It honestly looks the best I've ever seen it look, all the time the editor spent getting it to look this gorgeous has, without doubt, made this my go-to version for whenever I watch STTMP from now on. Which is going to be more often than it would have been before watching this fanedit.
