Star Trek films (DVD)
From Memory Alpha, the free Star Trek reference
(written from a Production point of view)
The Star Trek films were the first franchise properties to be released on DVD.
The initial release of the first nine films, beginning in 1998, saw each film released in a 'vanilla' version, with only their trailers included as special features. The films were released in reverse chronological order, starting with Star Trek: First Contact (Star Trek: Insurrection was slotted in between Star Trek V: The Final Frontier and Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home).
These would be released in Region 2 - starting with Star Trek: Insurrection - in 2000. Some of the Region 2 releases in the UK came in Special Numbered Edition packaging, and included bonus discs.
In 2001, Paramount released Star Trek: The Motion Picture on DVD. For this release, the company decided to reappraise the film as a whole, introducing new CG special effects, and recutting the film to better reflect Robert Wise's original intentions. This "Director's Edition" was a two-disc release with extensive special features. (As a result, the theatrical cut of the film was not released on DVD until the Region 2 Original Motion Picture Collection.)
Following the enormous success of the Director's Edition of Star Trek: The Motion Picture, Paramount rereleased the other nine films in two-disc special editions with added features. Star Trek Nemesis was released with limited special features in 2003 before receiving the Special Edition treatment in 2005.
