Yes, I think it is a Region 2 release. I already ordered the Region 1 DVD. Thanks for the info,

I saw the DVD back in November, 2007, and just loved the story and the characters. I don't recommend movies to many people out of the blue, but this one I do whenever possible.

I don't know if this new release is any different than the DVD I have. Both commentaries are there, as are the special features. I noticed the link refers to the price in pounds, so is it a Region 2 release?

Hi. Long time first time.

So what is different about this DVD from the one released at the end of 2007?

This movie is spectacular. I wasn't expecting to be as emotionally intense as it was. Good movie to talk about with friends.

As a big fan of TOS writers such as Bixby, I will check this out. And the cast sounds interesting.

Read the front cover of the DVD. ;)

I caught this on Netflix, and I must say it was very good. All those looking for a character piece, take a look.

I suspect they'll milk the many Star Trek connections for all they're worth.
