Star Trek warps home November
This is my Federation glare.
J.J. Abrams’ vibrant re-imagining of Star Trek, likely the best blockbuster of the year, was finally street dated by Paramount – sporting a bunch of cool, new features to boot. Hitting store shelves on November 17th as a 3-Disc Blu-ray set, it might be the actual packaging itself that will spur the interest of most Trekkies.
Dubbed “augmented reality” by Paramount, anyone that holds the Blu-ray cover up to a webcam will be able to unlock a holographic tour of the U.S.S. Enterprise on their computer. The tour will span up to five cabins on the ship and will even allow the user to shoot enemies. It will unfortunately not allow you to peep on green, alien women in go-go skirts. This is the first time this technology has seen a mainstream, commercially wide release and a hot feature that Paramount plans on touting as we near towards Winter.
“Anything that increases the value of the physical good in the eyes of the consumer is a benefit,” Paramount home video senior VP of brand marketing Bob Buchi said.
Paramount has an early version of this feature, which it used for the theatrical release, available here.
Blu-ray fans will also get access to deleted scenes, including a lengthy subplot involving the villainous Nero and Klingons, cut from the theatrical release (something that astute fans saw in the trailer, but never in the theatrical cut). Other super nerdy features included are live NASA updates via BD Live and a Star Fleet Vessel Simulator that will give Trekkies a 360 view of the Enterprise and other Federation ships.
Anyone hoping to maintain a social life after November 17th would do best by hiding the Blu-ray when your girlfriend is around.

There’s no secret about success. Did you ever know a successful man who didn’t tell you about it?
Nice blog, I was doing a little net browsing and stumbled onto your website, I used to be wondering if you knew your blog is rendering unusually within the K-mellon internet browser. I will see most of it however the graphics are somehow out of wallop. Probably not a big issue since hardly nobody utilizes it anymore however I am old school and still run it.
Hah! You want to talk about controversy? Tila Tequila was born in Singapore. Her family quickly emigrated to a few places then eventually ended up moving to a small town in Texas. The fact that she is ending up with a sex tape is no surprise to me. That girl is crazy, but you gotta love her. She keeps the attention coming.
