The VAM controversy 
The decision to make the majority of extras retailer exclusives prompted criticism of Paramount Home Entertainment.  According to , a source close to both Paramount and Bad Robot Productions stated that the latter reportedly had "100% control" over the production of VAM (Value Added Material aka "special features"). This source speculated this material might have been delivered late as account-specific features generally have a deadline that is later than the Blu-ray. This would have resulted in the features being thrown to different SKUs (Stock Keeping Units), or contracts were negotiated with retailers wherein each was paid for the exclusive content specific to their stores.  Simon Pegg voiced his support for the fans, saying the inconsistent release made him "sad". 

In June 2014, Paramount has announced an all special features inclusive Blu-ray release, in the IMAX version (but without the 3D version), of the film as the Star Trek: The Compendium set. 

Despite this, the retailer exclusive format was yet again utilized for the next, 2016 movie Blu-ray outing.
