I'm only interested in the IMAX version of Star Trek Into Darkness.
Will Paramount do the same IMAX re-release for Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol too?
From what I read, it was Brad Bird's decision not to release the IMAX version of Ghost Protocol, not Paramount. So unless Bird wants it to happen, it probably won't.

That's too bad, the Burj Khalifa scene would be more engrossing with the aspect ratio opened up.
Yes. I'm definitely getting this. I loved the movie and I'd love to experience the IMAX aspect ratio version of the film. It's the only way to do this film justice.

Not really IMAX aspect ratio, but at least closer to it.
Just got around to buying the Star Trek 2009 metalpak at Wal-Mart a couple of weeks ago, although it is lacking in special features I'm content with it for now but may check out this set later on when it drops in price considerably.
Yes, I'll want to get this set. However, I find all of this Star Trek releasing a bit annoying even though this set makes up for some things. I almost don't know if I should keep my steelbooks given that this is coming out. I will want a 3D release of Star Trek Into Darkness though for the 3D and 2:35:1 Blu-ray. It just seems as though I have already bought these... a lot.
I'm going to round up ALL of the Special Features in the first post that were released everywhere so we can see exactly what, if anything is still missing.
Here are the Exclusives I'm trying to list: The Tesco Exclusives
Quote:
20 minutes of unspecified extra content exclusive to their Blinkbox service.
Aliens Encountered – Take a look behind the scenes with the Aliens of Star trek Into Darkness. See the painstaking time and effort that goes in to creating such lifelike aliens and the meet the people behind the masks.
National Ignition Facility – J.J.Abrams talks about his vision to use real life sets to shoot some key STID scenes. Get a look inside the national ignition facility and see the detail that went into turning it into the Enterprise’s warp core
The Cut Unlocked – See how the raw footage is turned into the seamless magic you see on the big screen. The editors and J.J describe how much more is involved in editing than just cutting footage and removing unwanted scenes.
The Sound of Music (and FX) – Take a look at the complex and evolving work that goes into creating the music and sound FX for a such a huge Sci-Fi motion picture.
20 minutes total, 2 are duplicated with Best Buy's.
I only just found out about this one! The Yahoo! Exclusives

Since "STID" is worth extra celebration, we're also giving you not one, but two exclusive clips! And the clip below you can't find anywhere else — not on the Blu-ray extras, not on the digital download, only here at Yahoo Movies. It's a fine example of how Abrams goes about humanizing his characters, in this case Cumberbatch's complex and riveting Khan.
Apparently the second clip is no where to be found on the site... yet... I'll keep looking. The Target Exclusives

Pretty cool. The production notes are mildly interesting. The Star Trek Canon just basically says stuff that most Star Trek fans already know. The concept art, for the most part, is pretty interesting and some is very beautifully done. The behind the scenes videos are mostly short throw-away stuff that is featured in the other featurettes. The PreVis features could be interesting but are far too short to actually be enjoyed.
A lot of these features have to be unlocked first by achieving a "Captain" ranking by playing this asinine game that includes mostly trivia and a few terrible touch mini-games. Thankfully, you are able to go into an index after completing it and achieve a perfect score by retrying each individual trivia question or game. The whole game thing is a very not-fun experience but fortunately it only takes about 5-10 minutes to achieve "Captain".

Standard Release
Quote:
Creating the Red Planet (8:28)
This is the first of several features showing off just how much effort the Into Darkness production team put into using physical sets and props to create the Star Trek universe for the big screen - starting with Nibiru, the jungle planet seen in the movie's opening sequence.
The team reveals the original plan to film the sequence - using Hawaiian jungle, color-corrected to an alien red - fell through when it was deemed to be too expensive, so the design department spent six months building an expansive, outdoor jungle set to film Kirk and McCoy's escape from the Nibiran tribe.
The first half of this feature also focuses on the creation of the Nibiran natives, from early sketches to the final makeup design.
More impressive is the second part of this segment, centered around Zachary Quinto's experience filming the fiery visit into the Nibiran volcano - all filmed in one long night shoot on a large rocky set surrounded by dozens of pyrotechnic elements and a camera-equipped helicopter!
The whole piece is just a visual extravaganza, which I can't imagine looking even half as good on DVD.
Attack on Starfleet (5:25)
Khan's attack on the Daystrom Conference Room at Starfleet Headquarters is the focus of this segment, centered around the choreographed stunts, wire work, and live explosives spread throughout the set.
One unexpected discovery includes a look at the large, spotlight-adorned rig built to stand in for Khan's attack ship on set. Using the practical set piece as the source of the dynamic lighting on stage served to add a much-needed bit of realism to the sequence.
The Klingon Homeworld (7:30)
This piece puts the redesigned Klingons front and center, along with the production team's efforts to walk the fine line between respecting the lore and wanting to put their own spin on everyone's favorite warrior race.
The Kronos set - intended to represent a bombed-out, abandoned city on the Klingon homeworld - took up nearly every inch of a massive 40,000-foot stage, with nearly 1,500 lighting elements throughout the set drawing over a million watts of power.
Costuming and makeup creation is also covered; much of the new makeup design was built first in CG for easy manipulation, and then printed in 3D for use by the makeup crew to tailor to each actor set to wear the prosthesis.
The Enemy of My Enemy (7:03)
Okay, here's where the big question of "Why Khan?" is addressed - and the answer, from what I can tell, is "because we wanted to." Abrams and the writing staff start out by saying, "Look, there's fifty years of Trek lore to draw from, so where should we start? Khan, because no character is as important as he is!"
Abrams also shakes off potential criticisms of Benedict Cumberbatch's casting - rather than a race-specific actor to match Khan's ethnic background - by saying, "The truth is, I think if something's good, that sort of supersedes everything. [His casting] felt like the right way to go because he was so damned good."
Ship to Ship (6:03)
The Enterprise-to-Vengeance space-jump was one of the more memorable sequences from the film, and this featurette focuses on the two halves of that scene: the CGI work needed to project Chris Pine and Benedict Cumberbatch into space, and the creation of the oversized cargo bay aboard the Vengeance, where Simon Pegg (Scotty) was preparing for their arrival.
Brawl By the Bay (5:44)
The climactic ending chase sequence - where Spock trails Khan through the streets of San Francisco - was a massive endeavor, utilizing hundreds of extras, stunt actors, policemen, and production staffers, culminating in the knock-down, drag-out fight scene on a pair of floating garbage scows above the city.

I bought the Dark Knight Trilogy Ultimate Edition almost solely for the bonus disc. You bet I'll be getting this too. Can they even do a 3D + IMAX version or is 2D IMAX as good as it can get on Blu-ray? Not sure if 3D IMAX has a precedence on Blu-ray. Either way, the IMAX version looked great on iTunes. It must be incredible on Blu-ray.
I hated the 2009 film honestly. The characters were well-done but I hated the scripting and plot. I liked Into Darkness a bit more, so I bought the 3D blu-ray a while back. I was pissed that the extras were neutered, but I can't imagine buying this set - especially since it doesn't come with the 3D version, so I couldn't even sell my current blu-ray. And I really don't want to spend money on the first film. Now if Into Darkness was released separately with the 3D version and IMAX versions (honestly we should be getting a 3D IMAX version too) plus all the extras, with a rebate for those that purchased any of the previous releases of Into Darkness, then I would be interested perhaps. But as it is, though it's a nice set, it isn't for me.

There are lots of 3D IMAX documentaries on blu-ray so I don't see why they couldn't. If this was in 3D at the IMAX then this set should include a 3D IMAX version. The 3D in this film was actually quite good. Not as deep as I would have liked but still very competently done.

I guess I was referring more to films that have variable aspect ratios. Is there a precedence for a variable aspect ratio IMAX film getting a 3D Blu-ray? I guess Oz the Great and Powerful is close (changing from 1.33:1 in the opening to 2.35:1)...but that wasn't shot in IMAX...anyhoo, it's probably possible, as you say.
