Follow Ups:
The director's cut will feature the following added/extended/altered scenes:-- On the space station, just before Khan steals Genesis, Kirk is seen searching for the best fares from Chicago O'Hare to Dallas/Fort Worth.
-- The fake looking scene of a claymation alien insect entering a rubber cast of Sulu's ear is replaced by a fake looking computer-generated image of an alien insect entering Sulu's ear. What appears to be a large dinosaur can be seen walking through the background.
-- The Genesis probe is replaced by a five-foot tall walkie-talkie.
-- During Spock's funeral, instead of "Amazing Grace", Scotty plays the music from the Third Class party in "Titanic".
-- Near the end of the film, Kirk's son is shown lifting weights to develop his biceps.

Overall, it's one of the most entertaining of the Star Trek films, and hopefully, those involved, will do as good a job as Robert Wise did for the first film.
