Background information[]
- As with the previous series release, this release features the same amount of special features as its Blu-ray counterpart, constituting something of a break in release policies as the Star Trek franchise had up to that point in time favored the Blu-ray format with the inclusion of more special features. Quite conceivably this had been an intentional franchise attempt to avoid the 2014 "The VAM controversy" that had followed in the wake of the home video format releases of the first two alternate reality films. However, It has yet to be ascertained whether or not the Blu-ray "Chat in the Make-Up Trailer" Easter egg, located on its third disc, is also included on the DVD counterpart.
- The Region 2 and 4 releases had the special features split off on its own, 5th disc.
- This particular release is one of the few individual Star Trek releases followed by the professional industry site The Numbers and for which domestic US home video format sales are known; The Numbers has reported that by November 2021 domestic sales had been realized of US$6.1 million for both this and its Blu-ray counterpart releases. [1] The for a new Star Trek production seemingly disappointing sales could be explained by the continued sharply divided fan reception the series had engendered. However, there were by this time also generic societal trend issues at play, which had nothing to do with Star Trek, additionally explaining the diminishing sales of physical home video formats.
