Star Trek 3 40th Anniversary Edition Comes With Exclusive Collectibles At Walmart

If you’ve been looking to fill a Spock-shaped hole in your Star Trek movie collection, you can now set a course for Walmart and grab a fancy 40th anniversary edition of Star Trek 3: The Search for Spock ahead of its May 28 release.

This 4K restoration of the classic Star Trek film is available in steelbook format at multiple retailers, but Walmart has an exclusive edition that comes with a poster of the film’s key art and a booklet. Not only are you getting a pair of bonus collectibles, you’re saving some cash, too. Walmart is selling the new 40th anniversary edition for $25, while Amazon has the steelbook edition, sans poster and booklet, for $31.

Special features haven’t been revealed yet, but this version will probably inherit the extras from the previous Blu-ray release, like commentary tracks from the cast and crew, production documentaries, a photo gallery, trailers, and a look at the storyboards that helped shape the movie. You’ll get 4K Blu-ray and standard Blu-ray discs as well as a digital copy of the film.

If you’ve never seen it, Star Trek 3 takes place shortly after the previous film, The Wrath of Khan, and deals with the aftermath of Spock’s heroic self-sacrifice to save his crew. Laid to rest on the Genesis Planet, a world being used to test out the terraforming abilities of advanced technology, the Enterprise crew sets off on a quest to recover Spock’s rejuvenated body and reunite with him with his psychic essence after it took up residence inside of Dr. Leonard “Bones” McCoy. It’s weird, but a fun movie! Rogue Klingon warlord Kruge also enters the fray, aiming to steal the Genesis technology for himself.

The other Star Trek films from the classic series are also available on 4K Blu-ray, so if you’re looking for a binge of old-school sci-fi, these make for a great option. Paramount has done an excellent job at enhancing these 4K releases with a wealth of extras like behind-the-scenes documentaries and insightful commentaries from the various film directors, producers, and actors.
