Trekkies is the Blu-ray Disc release of the documentary film Trekkies. This particular home video format was a celebratory release on the occasion of the documentary's 2022 25th anniversary (while not widely disseminated to the public before 1999, the documentary was finished in 1997), and one of the very few such productions to see a Blu-ray release for which the older documentary had been remastered to H(igh)D(efintion) standards. A popular one, the production had already seen releases on the VHS and DVD (1999), LaserDisc (2000), and VCD (2003) home video formats.

Back cover

The remastering and production was done by Shout! Factory, known for their home video releases of the 2019 What We Left Behind and 2020 The Captains Collection: Explorations by William Shatner documentaries.

Remarkably, Shout! Factory's release lacked the Paramount Pictures logos on its cover, despite the fact that the studio had been the original distributor of the documentary for both theatrical screenings and the subsequent home video formats (where the relevant logos were prominently featured), but apparently not for this one. As of 2024, only a Region A version has been released.

Chapters[]

The disc contents and organization thereof, are identical to the preceding 1999 Trekkies DVD release, save for the addition of the retrospective "A Trek Back" (20:05, HD) special feature which was new to this release.
