Big news for Star Trek fans today as Paramount Home Entertainment has revealed that the fully restored Director's Edition of Star Trek: The Motion Picture that was teased earlier this year will arrive on 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray September 6th. That's  just ahead of Star Trek Day 2022 on September 8th. What's more, the film will be available in a standard edition and a limited-edition Collector's Set entitled "The Complete Adventure".

To top it all off, the Star Trek: The Original Motion Picture Collection is also on tap for September 6th, and it will bring all six films together in 4K UHD. Hopefully you saw this move coming when Star Trek: The Original 4-Movie Collection launched on 4K Blu-ray last year without Star Trek V: The Final Frontier and Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country. Both films will be included in the new set. A breakdown of each new Star Trek 4K Blu-ray release can be found below, complete with bonus features and pre-order links.
