I think the US got this artwork because it is more bold and minimal. It also uses the same traditional font in black and white which can symbolize starting fresh. Not everyone prefers this style but I like the choice. It also matches the packaging and displays.

I got the limited edition from Target with the USS Enterprise replica dvd holder and I am a very happy camper.

Plus the blur almost gives the illusion the ship is going backward rather than forward. And the title could have been bigger.

Yes the title can be bigger. What I consider bold is that it looks like a fine art piece and it is also enigmatic. Someone does not know what they are looking at first and it draw in their attention. It is also bold because black on white is one of the boldest contrasts. I also like the blur because it implies motion. This poster looked great when it was very large in a picture from Los Angeles. I understand that it is not the style for everyone but I get meaning from it.

The dvd packaging looks very nice. The Star Trek title appears very large and the underlying picture of Chris Pine is not as prominent as I expected. I like to also see the actual USS Enterprise NCC-1701 primary hull showing underneath and to know the dvds are inside. The regular dvd case also looks good with a version of the faces.

I have no idea why they stuck with artwork reminiscent of the ugly US theatre poster rather than the artwork used for some of the overseas releases... I mean, we got this hack piece: The UK, Australia, Germany, etc. got this: Why, Paramount, why??

It actually makes sense if you think about it. ¿It's not the "greatest" design by any means, however, with it being a predominantly light cover then it's going to easily stick out against the other darker moody DVD colors. ¿You won't have to "look for it" because it will pop right out.  And what in the world could Paramount gain by having a DVD pop out at a potentially unsuspecting buyer?

Just some thought.

You are very welcome. ViceAdmBaxter and some others brought it to my attention as only available at Target. I am very thankful for everyone discussing this and I wish to pass on this message. Run to Target!

I agree.  That poster is far more artistic then the traditional movie poster.
