Star Trek Trilogy: The Kelvin Timeline (Blu-ray)

Star Trek Trilogy: The Kelvin Timeline is a Blu-ray Disc triple pack, first released in June 2019, collecting the single-disc Blu-ray releases of Star Trek, Star Trek Into Darkness, and Star Trek Beyond.

It is essentially a repackaged reissue of the 2016 Star Trek - 3 Movie Collection Blu-ray release for the occasion of the 10th anniversary of the alternate reality Star Trek films launch with Star Trek in 2009. It is also the first home video release to be endowed with the "Kelvin timeline" moniker that the Star Trek franchise settled upon in 2016 as its official designation for the alternate reality on the occasion of the release of the fourth edition of the Star Trek Encyclopedia in that year.

As with the previous version, the discs are mounted in a standard plastic snapcase, accompanied by a new fold-out poster detailing the chronology of the alternate reality films, the whole packaged in the customary cardboard slipcover. As usual with these releases, (geo-restricted) redeemable codes are included to download the various digital versions, in this case the standard digital download, the UltraViolet version, and the iTunes Store version.

While marketed as region-restricted, the release is in actuality region-free as this has increasingly become commonplace for the Blu-ray format, and therefore one of the two reasons why this release was not issued in the other regions, save for Hungary and Germany, the other reason having been the continued availability of the prior 3 Movie Collection Blu-ray release.

However, and unlike the previous version of the release, it is also one of the first major Blu-ray titles for which a DVD counterpart was not foreseen in the major territories, indicative of the latter format being increasingly considered for phasing out by the industry. However, since this release was in essence a reissue of Star Trek - 3 Movie Collection, the dwindling numbers of DVD hold-outs were already served by its 2016 DVD counterpart. Still, one single DVD counterpart for this release is known to have been issued in one of the smaller home video territories, the Hungarian 2019 Star Trek: A trilógia title.

Lacking on this release are the retailer exclusive special features for all three films, present in the 4K Ultra HD-counterpart, those for Beyond collected on the extra disc in that set, which were hitherto not included on any of the home video formats.
