Star Trek: Original Motion Picture Collection (Blu-ray)

Insert cover art for the The Captain's Summit bonus disc Viva Elite slim case, also exemplary for the other Viva Elite slim case cover art of the other six discs
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. 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. 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 Treks 50th anniversary, issues from 14 June onward () 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. 
This Blu-ray Collection (along with its DVD counterpart) has been nominated for a Saturn Award for "Best DVD Collection" in , which it won.

With the exception of the Motion Picture, which, apart from the deleted scenes, only included newly made special features, all other films have also carried over the special features originally made for the 2002-2005 "Special Edition" DVD collection, albeit in standard definition, alongside the newly made high definition ones. 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.
