If you already own the six original Star Trek films, Star Trek: The Original Motion Picture Collection in its SteelBook library case asks a fair question: is a new shelf look worth buying them again? The set hasn’t shipped, so this is a pre-release read built from retailer listings and press coverage, not hands-on testing. My gut feeling? The packaging is the star, not the discs.
Quick verdict: a gorgeous way to own all six films on 4K, with both cuts of Star Trek II and VI, but prices vary by store and only the first film gets Dolby Atmos.
| Format | 4K UHD and Blu-ray, 13 discs |
| Packaging | 6 SteelBooks in a library case, 6 art cards |
| Artwork | Matt Ferguson front, restored original key art back |
| Video and audio | 2160p Dolby Vision; Atmos on film I, TrueHD 7.1 on II to VI |
| Region | A, B, C (Zavvi UK listing) |
What is inside the Star Trek: The Original Motion Picture Collection?
Six SteelBooks, six art cards and 13 discs in one library case. Matt Ferguson’s new poster art covers the fronts, while the backs carry the restored original key art, so you can display it either way. If you like this format, we also covered the Game of Thrones 15th Anniversary steelbook library case.
Which cuts and discs come in the box?
The Motion Picture arrives as the Director’s Edition. The Wrath of Khan and The Undiscovered Country both include two cuts each, and films III to V complete the run. Everything is 2160p with Dolby Vision, but only the first film gets Dolby Atmos; the rest use Dolby TrueHD 7.1.
How does this library case compare with the 2022 six-movie 4K set?
The films aren’t new to 4K: TrekCore’s 2022 review described them as remastered for 4K. The listings I found don’t say whether these discs use new masters, so I’m treating this as a repackage until someone shows otherwise.
Should you upgrade if you already own the earlier set?
If you only care about picture and sound, the Star Trek: The Original Motion Picture Collection isn’t a must-have, so hold your money. If you’re a steelbook person, it’s another story, much like our Superman 5-film 4K steelbook collection review, where shelf presence matters. Steelbooks can be a gamble on dented corners, so I’ll check that once copies are out.
Where to buy the Star Trek SteelBook library case and what does it cost?
Zavvi lists it at $239.99 on its US site and £179.99 on its UK site, with a December 31, 2026 release date. Vice Press lists $260, and HD Report cited £149.99 on Amazon UK. Prices verified September 30, 2026.
| Store | Price | Per film |
| Zavvi US | $239.99 | $40.00 |
| Zavvi UK | £179.99 | £30.00 |
| Vice Press | $260 | $43.33 |
Is the price the same everywhere?
No, and other outlets report slightly different late December dates, so treat the date as provisional. For big film boxes like the Complete Kubrick Criterion set, cost per film is a handy yardstick.
Pros: all six films on 4K, two cuts of II and VI, front and back art options, six art cards.
Cons: Atmos on one film only, prices vary, and build quality is unverified until it ships.
Our Take
I love the double-sided art on the Star Trek: The Original Motion Picture Collection, because it lets fans of new and classic artwork share one shelf. It suits Trek collectors who love steelbooks, and it’s a harder sell if you own the 2022 set. It comes on 4K UHD and Blu-ray through Zavvi, Vice Press and Amazon UK. Our Spielberg Spotlight Collection and Star Trek Collector Booster Box reviews are natural companions. Are you picking this up? Tell us in the comments what you’d recommend or what’s missing.
