Somewhat ironically, the near-concurrent DVD counterpart of the collection does not have the archival features included on its release, only the newly made ones – an intentional industry policy at the time to favor the Blu-ray home video format. |

The Star Trek: Original Motion Picture Collection is a Region A Blu-ray Disc box collection featuring the six Original Series films. Each film, based on the theatrical cut in each instance, has been digitally remastered in high-definition, and presented in 7.1 Dolby TrueHD sound. It was in this collection that the Blu-ray versions were for the first time released, before the films saw subsequent individual releases. The original 2009 set release came with a seventh extra special feature bonus disc.
Each disc came packaged within in its own Viva Elite slimline plastic snapcase. The hardboard slipcase box itself was protected by a transparent plastic slipcover on which the texts were imprinted, whereas the lenticular, holographic picture was imprinted on the box. The Canadian English/French bilingual release, was issued with a slightly re-designed slipcover. Discounting other foreign language imprints, there is at least one variant Region A English-language slipcover known to circulate. [1] While the Region B releases adhered for the most part to the format as issued in Region A, there were some UK releases known, that differed in this respect that it dispensed with the plastic slipcover, instead having all the texts imprinted on the box, as well as lacking the holographic character of the box picture. [2] Initially, the UK release was being solicited as having all seven individual discs being packaged within one Viva Elite multi-disc snapcase.
Region A saw a reissue in February 2016, now with all discs packaged within one standard Viva Elite multi-disc case and featuring new cover art, but with the bonus disc left out. In order to capitalize on the fervor surrounding Star Trek's 50th anniversary, issues from 14 June onward (ASIN B01DKLQMNY) were additionally packaged in a cardboard slipcase on which the gold embossed event was prominently featured, like its reissue DVD counterpart which was released on that date as well. No such reissues were released in the other regions.
While in some cases marketed as region-restricted, this release is in actuality region-free as this has increasingly become commonplace for the Blu-ray disc format. [3]
This Blu-ray Collection (along with its DVD counterpart) has been nominated for a Saturn Award for "Best DVD Collection" in 2010, [4] which it won. [5]

Background information
- The 2009 set marks the first time that Star Trek: The Motion Picture has been released in its theatrical format since VHS. Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan required extensive restoration to feature in this release – director Nicholas Meyer noting that the original negative "was in terrible shape". This also marks the first time that Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country has been released in its original theatrical aspect ratio of 2.35:1 and Theatrical Cut. Each film includes an embedded Library Computer – a trivia feature using Blu-ray's Java function.
- The DVD counterpart had seen a second reissue in 2023 in North America, but remarkably, the Blu-ray version did not.
- This particular release is one of several individual Star Trek releases followed by the professional industry site The Numbers and for which domestic (USA & Canada) home video format sales are known; The Numbers has reported that by January 2023 domestic sales had been realized of US$16 million for both this and its DVD counterpart releases.
