Star Trek: The Motion Picture (Blu-ray)

Star Trek: The Motion Picture is the Blu-ray Disc release of , and had made its earlier May 2009 debut as part of the box-set issue. Reissued as an individual release with new cover art, it features the theatrical cut of the film.
Region B saw a 2016 reissue in a SteelBook® variant, which was initially intended to be a part of the . Nonetheless, all ten films saw almost concurrent individual European general, non-limited retail releases in the UK, Germany, Italy, and France, the SteelBooks typically packaged in transparent plastic slipcases with the usual Blu-ray band imprinted at the top. In all cases the text imprints on the back of the SteelBbooks were language adapted.
During the early advertisement campaign for the Collector's Set, especially by UK retailer Zavvi , there had been considerable confusion on which version of The Motion Picture was included, as the early released imagery showcased the cover art of The Director's Edition, getting the hopes up of fans, which were squashed though a short while later when it was revealed that "the studio marketing artist who created that shot simply used the wrong cover art for the film". Subsequent advertisements were adjusted accordingly for the UK. Still, and somewhat cynically, the German, French, and Italian individual SteelBook releases continued to be marketed featuring the wrong cover art.

While in some cases still being marketed as region-restricted, of the 2016 reissues and beyond is known that these are in actuality region-free as this has increasingly become commonplace for the Blu-ray format. In effect, it turned out that the 2010 Region B UK release had, as one of the very first, already been issued as a region-free release.

Additionally, to 1080p downscaled Blu-ray versions of each film, The Motion Picture included, were concurrently issued as well. The Motion Picture reissue was essentially the technically improved upgrade version of the otherwise identical 2009 original release, featuring the same below-mentioned special features. The Region A release though, had an additional digital download version available as well, obtainable by a to North-America geo-restricted redeemable code, which was not included on the Region B release.
