Robert Wise was a master filmmaker; Freddie Francis' anamorphic cinematography was golden; the formal tone of this film makes all the rest look like cowboys & indians; and given that this was a symphonic visual tone poem rather than an action flick, Jerry Goldsmith's score was of course the best Trek ever got. This edition debuted weirdly on Paramount+ in 4K HDR exclusively, but it's nice now not to have to rely on my subscription for this (and to get the higher bitrate on fixed media). All in.

The directors cut adds 25 minutes of extra-boring footage
While the director's cut does restore/extend and add back scenes, it also removes other sections.
In the end, it is 4 minutes longer than the original theatrical release. The version that added 25 minutes was the earlier (1980s) TV cut.
This appears to be the 4K Ultra HD version, which is the same as Wise's 2001 Director's Cut, but with extensive HD restoration and SFX upgrades done a few years ago.
