Star Trek Beyond has been available to pre-order since early last month, but up until now we haven’t had an official release date. Now, Paramount has announced the film will be be available on disc starting November 1st, with an early Digital HD release expected two to three weeks before.
There will be several Blu-ray editions printed including standard Blu-ray, 3D Blu-ray, and Ultra HD Blu-ray, all of which include a Digital HD copy redeemable with iTunes or UltraViolet. The 2-disc Blu-ray and 3-disc Blu-ray 3D editions also include a DVD copy, and the 2-disc 4k edition has both Blu-ray and Ultra HD copies.
In addition to the standard releases listed above, Best Buy has their own exclusive Steelbook edition selling for $27.99, and Amazon has a multi-format gift set priced at $49.99.
The Blu-ray releases of Star Trek Beyond appear to be packed with extras such as deleted scenes, gag reel, and nine featurettes detailed below.
The Ultra HD Blu-ray release features High Dynamic Range (HDR) video with a deeper color range and more details in light and shadow areas. English audio is provided in 24-bit Dolby TrueHD 7.1 with Dolby Atmos for home theater and audio systems that support the format. French, Portuguese, and Spanish-language soundtracks will play in 5.1 Dolby Digital.
