Review from IFDB:
An excellent effort by TM2YC. I hadn't revisited the theatrical cut of this film since it first came out on video. I liked it okay but never really felt compelled to revisit it. Thanks to this fanedit, it has been improved a lot in my opinion.
A/V Quality - 10/10 - Looked spectacular, just as good my BD to my eye. Using the IMAX version was really smart and added grander scale to some shots.
Visual Editing - 10/10 - No noticeable cuts to me. It wasn't just that stuff was excised, it's that shots were repurposed and used for different effect. The Kirk/Spock argument was a great example of this, as well as the bar scene. Glancing at the cutlist after was pretty impressive; there were so many little touches and tweaks that were invisible.
Audio Editing - 10/10 - Everything sounded great. I'm not sure there was a lot changed but the score felt more continuous than I remember. I think the main theme was used a bit more, I think.
Narrative - This is where the edit shines. Khan is still not a great character but his exposition dumps are as limited as can be. Kirk and Spock's relationship tracks a lot better for me. Kirk isn't fired and then given command back right away for no real reason (and in this Kirk's dressing down works much better). Uhura's not a bundle of emotional nerves for no real reason at a time where it makes no real sense. There's no tacked on Vulcan talk and cameo. Carol is a lot less awful. Spock's raging bloodthirst now makes more sense (it's emotional AND logical now. Perfect for a Vulcan.) All of these benefits are basically at the cost of Uhura's role being reduced (sucks but I'd rather have her reduced and with some dignity) and Carol feeling like a walking plot device (that doesn't pay off). But in the original she was basically a walking plot device that doesn't pay off while also stripping and acting terribly. So, the character's big moment didn't play in the original really, either.
Enjoyment - 9/10 - TM2YC has turned a 6.5 for me into a 9. There are some inherent flaws in the script that really can't be changed, but I think the editor improved just about everything that could be improved.
Oh, and I didn't even mention the color grade. Huge improvement for me. It's fascinating what a little vibrancy can do to the tone of a film. I also have a shit eye for colors so take that with a huge grain of salt.

My feelings exactly. Thankfully Uhura is back to her best in ST:Beyond IMO.

LOL yes that too. Again they fixed her character in STB... by not having her in it

Thanks for the review @"sydsomagicho" glad you liked the edit.
ST:V uses the IMAX blu-ray as the main source, which has an unmatted full-widescreen/16:9 aspect-ratio for some shots/scenes. The deleted scenes are also like that (the rest is scope 2.35:1). I don't mind and quite like movies like that such as The Dark Knight etc. It should be easy to correct by dropping the file into a program like Handbrake and setting it to cropp from 1920x1080 to 1920x800.

I'm not a fan of changing aspect ratios either, and this was exactly what I did. It was pretty simple.

Does anyone have the subtitle file for this Star Trek Into The Darkness - Vengeance edit? I lost a bunch of files on my network drive and this .srt file is one of them.
Please PM me if you have it!
Update: Found 'm! These subtitles were generously made by @turntheradioxoff. See my own subtitles thread.
