Otherwise, the 2021 remaster is vastly superior to the older Blu-ray, in terms of detail, color, and everything else.
Also, I still don't believe that one shot of the Enterprise leaving spacedock is a recent digital fix. As others have suggested, I think it's much more likely, considering the post-production process on this particular movie, that different passes of the shot made it into different elements (negative, interpositive). That might also explain the two different takes of Spock in the Vulcan scene.

Nah. The frozen stars that've been lazily copied in to cover the path of the moving bracket scream 'digital fix' to me. And double nah, you don't have different shots cut into an interpositive because that's contact printed directly from the conformed negative. People have speculated that different versions of that shot exist, fine, but you won't have different shots cut into different pre-print elements as the conformed original negative is the primary source for all downstream elements.
