Now they have released some of the box art, starting off with the Star Trek The Next Generation Motion Picture Collection on Blu-Ray and DVD, plus the art for the Original Motion Picture collection DVD. See the images below.

All the above sets come out on September 22nd. We are still waiting for box art for the other catalog releases for September 22nd (see article for more detail) as well as the Star Trek 2009 movie release coming November 17th (see article for more details).
None of the September releases are available for pre-order yet. So far USA Amazon only have pre-release links for two of the Star Trek 2009 movie releases
We will provide updates as more pre-releases and box art become available.
Anyone hear anything on the Directors cuts of ST 1-VI on blu ray yet?
PARAMOUNT! Get the Robert Wise edition of the motion picture on Blue Ray already.
Very sexy box.
Love the image! But what’s a J-card?
Yeah, nice box but I’ve got the DVDs and they look fine. When I HAVE TO get a blu ray player, we’ll talk.
After repeated viewings, “Generations” has quite a few good Star Trek moments. IMO, better than “Insurrection” and “Nemesis” (would love to have Nick Myer do a commentary on that film: NICK “Oh that is where they stole from my film…”)
Soran is definitely a better villain than most think. I also loved the music entitled “The Nexus / A Christmas Hug”.
Breaks my heart when Kirk talks about the clock and he says “I gave this clock to Bones.” Shatner’s Kirk should have died like George Kirk did in Star Trek.
Did I miss a Star Trek movie called Star Trek: Evolutions or is that something else included in the Box Set.
Won’t buy these, but might Netflix ’em just for the commentaries.
Re: 4 SciFiMetalGirl- “what’s a j-card?
From Wikipedia: A j-card is the paper card inserted in the plastic storage case of most pre-recorded audio cassette releases, as well as cassettes of bootleg or copied concerts of the jam band scene. The j-card usually contains an image of the album cover, a track listing, credits, and copyright information.
The j-card gets its name from being folded into the shape of the letter J (when viewed from the side) to fit inside the cassette’s case.
Today, custom made CD-R covers are often called J-cards. J-Card style covers were used in CD’s covers in the 90’s for single cases when bands release singles and are still used today.

i really hope this is true high def and not upconverted like the TOS set is
and yeah what’s Evolutions?
I don’t know why that posted twice.
Anyone know if they will have the “Generations” teaser on these discs?
If the Star trek 09 is a two disk set [Star Trek (Two-Disc) (2009)] then why does Amazon say only one disk is included (Number of discs: 1)?
I think in this context though the J-card means the wraparound card around the box itself, cotaining marketing stuff that can be safely removed without destroying the rest of the box.
Star Trek Evolutions….the unreleased TNG send-off? THE crossover movie? :p
What is Star Trek evolutions?
sweet mother of mercy!
$690,639
In what week 15! thats astonishing…
Star Trek Evolutions is the bonus disc for this set like Round Table discussion with Kirk in classic series set. There’s various featurettes.
I was struck by the TNG box set artwork, and not in a good way. When compared to the TOS artwork, the TOS artwork looks optimistic as the Enterprise sails away from Earth into parts unknown, blazing new trails. On the other hand, the TNG box art shows the Enterprise-E seemingly fleeing from the massive, evil Borg Sphere.
There’s no sense of wonder, excitement, joy, or hope in the TNG artwork. There’s only fear and darkness as the Borg Sphere overshadows the Enterprise and blocks out the star field with its black mass. I suppose that’s a little indicative of the tone of the movies themselves, with TNG tending to be darker, and more subdued than the TOS entries.
Still, the TV TNG had hope and wonder in spades, and to me, that’s the truer sense of TNG that the box art fails to convey. Also, it strikes me as a little inappropriate to feature the Borg so prominently on the box art even though they only account for 25% of the TNG movies.
Oh well, I guess it’s what’s inside the box that matters :)
They should fix the DNR problem with the original series movie Blu-Ray set. That’s the only thing keeping me from getting it…..well, that and money :P
this packaging is truly nice.
Gotta love the new TNG set art. I really like the black box art. Looks sleek. Fits well. Hopefully the HD transfers are up to par with the box art, lol.
Taking some artist license with the relative sizes of the Ent-E and the Borg sphere, I see. Looks more like the Death Star by comparison.
“That’s no moon!”
I’ll pass on these, though I may rent Generations in order to see the special tribute to Matt Jefferies, that inexplicably, landed on this movie rather than the TV season set.
Can’t wait! Tried watching “First Contact” on Universal HD but took out my DVD and compared by flipping back and forth to the same scene. UHD was only slighty, and I mean slightly better in terms of less grain but color depth was sacrificed.
These better look good. I think “Generations” is the best looking DVD I own and I am so jazzed about hearing ‘Jumping the Ravine’ in full Dolby True HD
it’s better collecting the move picture collection in a box DVD set. instead of choosing from my DVD shelf to take one out and put it back. with this one, i get to not only watch the movies but watch and see the Star Trek Evolution. now what’s that about?its all in one box and i’m thinking handing my other star trek movies to my old cleaning crew-mate to him. i’m sure he doesn’t have any of the star trek at all. i like collecting shows or movies on a DVD box sets.

I think your point about the Borg featuring so ‘prominently’ is a good point, especially when you say they only make up 1/4 of the TNG movies made.
However. In all honestly does anyone blame paramount for doing just that… financial AND popularity AND critical response for First Contact was miles ahead of Generations, Insurrection and Nemesis. Honestly that was TNG’s ulitmate peak in the movie world. I don’t think its hard for any one of us to trully argue why paramount chose the Borg as the basis for their artwork.
Star Trek: Evolutions…aka “The Return”….dammit I knew Shatner would find a way!!
I love the box art and design for both the TOS and TNG movies. I am throughly enjoying my TOS blu-ray collection, can hardly wait for the TNG box set.
the image and sound transfers to these films better be spot on or Paramount won’t get a dime of my money!!!!!!
Eh, think I’ll skip these.
I just watched the regular DVDs on my Blueray player, and the up-conversion already made them look pretty damn good.
33- i had to skip the tos set because of lousy reviews on the picture. see amazon,the average rating is 2/5
“Featuring Captain Picard”
*SHOCK* No!
Hey!
Watch that unbelievable fan-made video from that german trek-site:
http://www.trekzone.de/content/dt/news/2009-05-04-1-fan-video-animation-mit-kelvin-und-enterprise.htm
Pretty sad. For such an enjoyable series, the only good movie was ‘First Contact’.
Still waiting for the Director’s editions of The Motion Picture and The Wrath of Khan
looks awesome and fits in with the TOS box set design.
I wonder if the invidual covers be done same way as the TOS movies?
I have grown to like them, even though I wold have prefered the cinema posters but its the content which is important and like the TOS blu ray set this will be amazing.
#35 Ditto!
#39 Me too!
39 – me too
In regards to the theatrical cut of TMP, I like it that I have both cuts now
38
Agreed, but I gotta say, I still find the last two worth watching for the characters– especially now that it’s probably the last we’ll ever see of them.
Generations, on the other hand, is just awful in every way.
So, I own all 10 films on DVD in a box set. I would love to buy all the movies on blu-ray, BUT, I’m not willing to shell out just for some DNR and so forth. Please please Paramount, rescan the real film, and give us directors cuts, PLEASE.
Make it so
#35 – TOS Movie Set? The rating is 3.5/5, at least on AmazonUS.
Man oh man, when is the next TNG movie coming out? We really need another. Let it be direct-to-DVD, with maybe a limited theatrical release. Or better… an HBO mini-series! That would be fantastic!
I don’t know if the powers that be would let HBO or SCI-FI do a TNG mini-series. I would love it if they did to. I imagine that DVD sales would go through the roof! They should really look into this. The show still has a huge audience.
Give me Titan!

I think TrekMovie already reported on that video. It was an intro to a convention made by Tobias Richter, who does special effects for Battlestar Galactica, Lost, and other TV shows. Prominent cameo in Trekkies also.
Already own these movies. Don’t really need to upgrade them. Only FC needs to be on Blue Ray.
DO NOT GET THESE!
The Remastering has removed details of the film.
Shots have been smoothed out too much.
Allot of hull designs have been smoothed.
Also the Features are lame.
The past DVD Collector Editions 2-disk sets are way better.
I thought remastering brought out the detail?
