Star Trek Generations (Video 8)

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

Star Trek Generations was the Video 8 release of Star Trek Generations. A relatively short-lived video tape format, it was the last known Star Trek production to be released anywhere in the world in this format, with the US/Canadian release as the only known variant to date.

Background information

Of the, in total six titles from the Star Trek films series released, Generations appeared to have been the most uncommon one and is currently an absolute rarity in the second-hand collector's market; the Video 8 home video format was by the time of its release well on its way out – for pre-recorded Hollywood productions that is, as the format was in wide use as a home-movie recording medium worldwide.
