I love the new Star Trek movie and I love the replica division badges that came with this Blu-Ray disc set.
I bought a Blu-Ray player specifically to see this movie in Blu-Ray and to get the replica division badges. Also, because the Blu-Ray version has a lot more "special features" than the DVD version.
I'm very happy I made this purchase.
What's great about it: Blu-Ray is excellent, replica badges are awesome

This Star Trek Blu-ray Gift Set had all of the extras included for the deluxe set with the added bonus of the exclusive to Best Buy Star Trek Movie Insignias (one for each department, Command, Science, Medical & oddly enough in an homage to the Original Series, the 4th Insignia is for Nursing.) The Blu-ray transfer looks as fresh & clean as the film was at the theater. The sound comes through our 5.1 surround sound system in a very crisp and clear fashion. JJ Abrams worked hard to communicate the vastness of space & the immense size of the Narada versus the Federation ships. The introduction of the USS Enterprise in this movie reminded me of the classic long tease reveal of the Big E in Star Trek: The Motion Picture.
The extras include just about everything you would want to see as a fan including the deleted scenes involving the Klingons. The commentary by JJ Abrams & company often took off on a tangent (lots of ADHD) but they rescued themselves with some fascinating insights & detailed reasons on the choices both made and not made. This is one of the rare films I could watch every day and not get tired of the repeated viewings.
What's great about it: Set includes all of the extras on BD plus the collectible ST Insignias
What's not so great: Never enough extras for a Star Trek movie.

The movie is great.
Why in the abyss it should come with a spare completely useless blank disk instead of an actual copy is beyond me. The "digital copy" is not a copy at all - it;s just a code that allows you to download the movie onto your computer - so don't expect to be able to watch that version right away!
What's great about it: It's Star Trek
What's not so great: Does not come WITH a digital copy, just a code to let you download an online copy.

Hardcore sci fi geeks were nonplused when Paramount Pictures assigned prolific hyphenate J. J. Abrams the task of rebooting the 40-year-old STAR TREK franchise. Although the casting of Leonard Nimoy to play Spock Prime assuaged initial fears, fans had a right to be dubious. After all, the previous administrator of the studio's tent pole had run it into the ground with formulaic storytelling, too often focusing on the dreaded "space anomaly of the week."
As the studio released trailers, Abrams clearly accomplished a task no one else had done in years: he made young people excited about STAR TREK. Moreover after the film's release it became clear that Abrams and his collaborators managed to honor Gene Roddenberry's vision--and the canon of the 700+ previous installments--while allowing it to progress in new, exciting directions.
The cast is superb, especially Karl Urban who eerily channels DeForest Kelley in his performance as Dr. Leonard "Bones" McCoy. This may not be your father's STAR TREK, but it's a worthy successor. The high-definition video transfer is breathtaking, and the Dolby Digital mix is superb. Best Buy's limited edition gift set includes four replica Starfleet division badges, which QMx reproduced from the originals used in the film.
What's great about it: Great film, excellent value
What's not so great: No separate display box for Starfleet division badges
