Star Trek/Star Trek Into Darkness (Blu-ray)

Real world article
(written from a production point of view)

Star Trek/Star Trek Into Darkness, subtitled Star Trek Two Movie Set, is a Blu-ray Disc double pack including Star Trek and Star Trek Into Darkness.

The set was first released in 2013 as a hardboard slipcase in which the two regular single-disc plastic snapcase releases of both films were collected, though the Italian Star Trek 2 Film Collection consisted of a cardboard slip-over sleeve in which the two snapcases were housed. In the UK the set was re-released a little over a year later in a slimline packaging as a single two-disc plastic snapcase within a cardboard slip-over sleeve.

To date the set has also been released in a number of Region A territories including Brazil, Hong Kong and Taiwan, [2] but not in Japan or in North America. The Hong Kong release, unlike other areas, also includes a third disc with the 3D version of Into Darkness. The reason why North America was passed over for the double pack release, was an obvious one, as it was shortly afterwards served with the much more superior 2014 Star Trek: The Compendium release.
