Star Trek Section K Limited Edition Steelbook Is Up For Preorder At Amazon
There's a seedier side to the Star Trek universe that most people don't know about, and if you're curious, then you might want to grab Star Trek: Section 31 when it warps onto 4K Blu-ray on April 29. Starring Michelle Yeoh, the long-in-development made-for-TV film centered around the sinister group premiered on Paramount+ on January 24. If you aren't a subscriber or simply prefer physical media, Section 31's 4K Limited Edition Steelbook and standard edition 4K Blu-ray release are up for preorder at Amazon and Walmart.
Star Trek: Section 31 Limited Edition Steelbook (4K Blu-ray)
$38 | Releases April 29
Star Trek: Section 31's Limited Edition Steelbook only costs four bucks more than the standard 4K Blu-ray release. At the time of writing on January 28, the steelbook case itself hasn't been revealed. The image above is a promotional poster that could wind up being the standard edition case. The steelbook, however, figures to have a different art design.
With preorder price guarantees at Amazon and Walmart, you will pay the lowest price offered from the time you order until release. Additionally, neither retailer will charge you until your order ships in April, and you can cancel at any time.
We'll update this preorder guide once we learn more about Star Trek: Section 31's 4K Blu-ray release. According to Walmart, it comes with 4K and standard 1080p Blu-ray discs.
Star Trek: Section 31 Standard Edition (4K Blu-ray)
$34 | Releases April 29
If you don't care for steelbook cases, both retailers have Section 31's standard 4K release for $34. Once again, you're eligible for a preorder price guarantee, and the artwork above is a promotional image. We will update this story with the official case and cover art design once it's revealed.
This edition also includes 4K and standard Blu-ray discs. The only difference is the discs are stored in a plastic case rather than a steelbook.
Section 31 is also releasing on DVD for $26.
Section 31 is a bit of a weird film to explain, as it's essentially a feature film-length episode of Star Trek Discovery. Yeoh reprises her character of Philippa Georgiou, specifically the Mirror Universe version who was Empress, had a taste for alien flesh, and found herself working as a Section 31 operative in the regular Star Trek universe. The film sees Georgiou with protecting the United Federation of Planets and facing the sins of her past as she assembles a motley crew of renegades to help her face off against a powerful threat.
Reviews have not been kind to Section 31, as it currently holds a 37 Metascore and 1.5/10 user score on Metacritic (GameSpot's sister site). But if you're the kind of Star Trek fan who wants a complete collection of Trekkie entertainment, then it might be worth picking up the Blu-ray. Special features haven't been revealed for it yet, but at least the cover is quite nice.
