"I'm excited for viewers at home to check out Star Trek Into Darkness on Blu-ray and DVD," says Director J.J. Abrams. "They did a great job and I'm thrilled with how everything looks and sounds. We also have some really fun behind-the-scenes special features that we shot on the Red Epic Camera and created entirely in-house at Bad Robot. They really look amazing and unlike anything I've seen on DVD or Blu-ray before. I hope fans enjoy seeing the process that went into making the movie and the truly amazing work of our most spectacular cast and crew," said Adams.
