Nicholas Meyer Confirms Upcoming 4K UHD Release Plans for STAR TREK II: THE WRATH OF KHAN

Cool. I got mine yesterday. I still haven't taken it for a spin yet.
Maybe since the old one is being recalled, it will become a collector's item, and someday you can make a fortune off of it on ebay?

Has anyone else had trouble accessing the Nicholas Meyer/Manny Coto commentary on their disc? I have the original, uncorrected disc, and that menu item is inaccessible to me.
Don't worry. It's not a glitch. That commentary was recorded specifically for the original Blu-Ray which was only going to feature the theatrical edition. If they carried it over for the Director's Cut, it would have cut out whenever scenes that were added to the Director's Cut were shown.
If you're curious as to why Nicholas Meyer's solo commentary is on both versions, it's because Paramount took the Director's Edition commentary from the old DVD and trimmed it down to fit the theatrical version. Thankfully we have both versions depending on which version of the movie you prefer.
Uh...no.
The Coto commentary IS included.
It's just hard to access from the main menu. I could only access it after chosing the theatrical version.
Offering it on the main menu and then not being able to successfully click on it , is a tiny glitch. Maybe it was designed that way, but it's a bit confusing if it was.

Finally got a Blu-Ray player, so I got the TWOK disc. It looked AMAZING!!
That, Frozen, Equestria Girls: Rainbow Rocks, Space Dandy, Panty and Stocking with Garterbelt and The Force Awakens. Oh, and Harry Potter.
That's not enough Star Trek ! LOL.
Well, I hope you enjoy the player and the Blurays.
Really glad I got my player and movies. I couldn't go back to DVD and I just saw my friend's UHD player and the upgrade wasn't enough for me to consider moving to that format. So I'll be sticking with Bluray as long as they make them.

I did not say it wasn't. I just stated that it wasn't recorded for the Director's Cut and for that reason isn't selectable. It was recorded for the theatrical version which is why it appears there and not the Director's Cut. The BluRay loads with the Director's Cut selected by DEFAULT which is why you don't see it at first.
No.
When you load the disc and the menu pops up and you select extras-- it SHOWS "commentary by Meyer and Coto"
Then as you scroll down to select the extra that is being given to you as a choice -- it SKIPS OVER that choice and does NOT allow you select it.
I have watched hundreds of Blurays and having an option on an extra list that you can not click on and have to take a roundabout method to engage is extremely rare and borderline a glitch. For example: on the same menu page is the option "Library computer (theatrical version)" and guess what? -- you CAN access that "theatrical version only" feature from the main menu.
Why have a menu that offers two "theatrical version only" choices but only ONE can be highlighted or accessed? The other has to be searched for in another way.
It's a very odd design choice or a minor glitch as the original poster noted. It wasn't his player.
But since the feature can be played -- it's all good in the end.

Everybody is selling the bad ones until they run out. The recall -- if there ever was one -- is a joke. Perhaps at a few stores customers notified the staff about the error and the staff removed the bads ones. Other than that everybody just sold the first bad batch till they were gone.
Like I said. The BluRay defaults to the Director's Cut version of the film when you load the disc. The version of the film THIS COMMENTARY TRACK WAS NOT RECORDED FOR. They didn't modify the commentary track to work for the Director's Cut version of the film so they simply don't have it highlightable.
What you're saying has nothing to do with what the earlier poster and I are talking about. You just keep restating it defaults to the directors cut.
The other poster is not a dummy, nor does he not know how to operate a remote or a Bluray player.
The menu is not logical.
You put in the disc. You select extras. You try to chose the "Coto commentary" and it DOES NOT allow you to. BUT is DOES allow you to chose a different "theatrical version only" extra from the same menu.
That is not logical and not consistant. That page should not be giving you an option for a feature you can't access. That is what he noticed and when I put in the disc and tried to play it -- it wouldn't.
You can say defualts to DC a hundred times, but it is still bad design and inconsistent with the other "theatrical only" feature. If you couldn't acces either from the main menu then it might make a little sense but it does not.
I've watched dozens of Blurays with multiple versions and multiple features specific to one version or another. They don't show you a menu with a feature that you cannot click on -- unless they are designed wrong.
Did you put the disc in to see what I mean?

Guess what?
The "Library computer" (theatrical version only) WAS NOT RECORDED FOR THIS VERSION OF THE FILM!!!!!!!
but from the SAME EXACT menu when you highlight and click it -- it magically navigates directly to the theatrical cut.
Because they logically engineered a link. They failed to do that for the commentary in question. It is easily possible to do so and all other blurays are set up that way. The dude and (later) I would not have been wondering what was up if it made perfect sense. And I was aware it defaults to the DC. The menu shouldn't default to anything. It should navigate to the feature it's giving you a choice to choose from
