Star Trek: The Motion Picture celebrates 45 years this year and Paramount Home Entertainment is releasing director Robert Wise’s film in a limited edition 4K Blu-ray Steelbook edition. This new 4K Blu-ray Steelbook will have the same contents as the now out-of-print Director’s Edition and limited-edition collector’s set entitled “The Complete Adventure” that came out back in 2022. The Steelbook comes with an exclusive booklet with behind-the-scenes images and info from the film, and the cover features the iconic original movie poster artwork.
Star Trek: The Motion Picture was a very expensive movie for its day and was a famously troubled production. The effects took so long to complete, they finished them literally days before the movie premiere. Although reaction to the film from audiences and critics was mixed at first, it launched a feature film franchise that’s still going today. And these days, Star Trek: The Motion Picture has many loyal fans who cite this installment as their favorite, especially for its grand ambition. It also gave us the best version of the starship Enterprise yet.
Here are the new special features for this disc of Star Trek: The Motion Picture, only available previously via the exclusive limited edition version from 2022.
