Last week, Paramount+ introduced the latest addition to the Star Trek universe: Star Trek: Section 31.
Despite the excitement surrounding its launch, the series faced criticism from viewers.
Nevertheless, it features the remarkable Michelle Yeoh, who brings her award-winning talent to an explosive role.
Introducing the Steelbook Release
Price: $38 | Release Date: April 29
The Limited Edition Steelbook for Star Trek: Section 31 comes at just four dollars more than the standard 4K Blu-ray version.
As of January 28, the striking design of the steelbook case has yet to be revealed, and the current image shows a promotional poster likely intended for the regular edition.
Fans anticipate unique artwork tailored specifically for the steelbook.
Both Amazon and Walmart provide preorder price guarantees, ensuring you will benefit from the lowest price between your order and the release date.
Plus, neither retailer charges your card until the release in April, which allows for convenient cancellations if you change your mind.
Standard Edition 4K Blu-ray
Price: $34 | Release Date: April 29
If a steelbook doesn’t catch your fancy, the standard 4K Blu-ray edition is available at both retailers for $34.
Like its steelbook counterpart, this edition also comes with a preorder price guarantee.
Be aware that the promotional image displayed could change once official artwork is finalized.
This edition includes both 4K and standard Blu-ray discs; however, it differs from the steelbook by coming in a traditional plastic case instead of the collectible steel design.
For those interested, a DVD version of Section 31 will also be released, priced at $26.
What is Section 31 About?
The narrative of Section 31 can be somewhat intricate, functioning as a feature-length episode of Star Trek: Discovery.
Michelle Yeoh reprises her role as Philippa Georgiou, a character from the Mirror Universe who once ruled as Empress.
The plot tracks her adventures as she operates as a Section 31 agent in the main Star Trek universe, where she wrestles with her past and endeavors to safeguard the United Federation of Planets.
To do this, she gathers a band of ragtag outlaws to confront an imposing threat.
Despite its lukewarm reception—holding a Metascore of 37 and a user rating of only 1.5/10 on Metacritic—this Blu-ray release might still appeal to devoted Star Trek aficionados desiring to round out their collections.
Although specifics about special features remain under wraps, early visuals indicate a promising design.
If you’re craving even more Star Trek adventures, consider diving back into Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, the show that originally introduced the enigmatic Section 31.
This series holds a special place in fans’ hearts for its deep moral explorations.
While a Blu-ray set isn’t available just yet, you can find a DVD box set priced at $73.
Don’t overlook Star Trek: Discovery, which significantly reinvigorated the franchise.
As we follow Michael Burnham, we’ve witnessed the universe expand with notable series like Strange New Worlds, Picard, and Lower Decks, the latter of which is frequently hailed as one of the franchise’s standout entries.
