I agree, would be great to have the DC in the 4k HDR version.

(For the record though, it wasn't the "first time a television show had been made into a major motion picture," there were others earlier (Dragnet, McHale's Navy, Our Miss Brooks, are a few, BUT, I do agree the Star Trek folks did it better than those earlier attempts, probably because of improvements in technology, and the TV show had a much bigger audience than the early TV shows.) (If we include TV shows that made it to the big screen as a Serial, then Captain Video: Master of the Stratosphere would be probably be the first transition.):)

One could technically count the 1966 "Batman" movie as well. But I wouldn't call any of the ones listed "major motion pictures," based on my understanding of those productions. Many were marketing stunts dreamed up by their creators and the studios, with budgets commensurate with the TV productions. Star Trek - TMP did start the trend of the studios going back through the list of every successful television show from the 60s, 70s and 80s to see if they could turn them into movies. And of course TMP does stand out in terms of pure scale and budget.
But point taken :)

Can't argue with that, I agree the Star Trek transition was very well done, and unlike the others actually felt like a major motion picture, versus an extended version of a TV show.

It's bad enough not to have this, even worse to not understand why we don't have it. I know for a fact the the TMP - DE sold quite well on disc, so why is it not on Kaleidescape?

Come on you guys, we're one of your top dealers - can't we pull a few strings? Let's see this film in all its 4K HDR glory on Kaleidescape!

K's lack of any kind of response on legitimate questions like you have raised has been one of my major issues with this company. So very frustrating - and has been an issue for a very long time.

This one seems a bit strange. At first, it was streaming only on Max. So figured they had some type of streaming exclusive. But now, you can rent or purchase on Apple, Amazon and Vudu. Obviously you can also purchase the disc.
