It's a bunch of stock photos that make no sense when put together, and it doesn't reflect the product being bought.

Back before the internet I went into most VHS rentals or purchases blind based on the box art and if I had gotten that, i would assume it a movie made at the time the series was on the air or a couple episodes of the series edited together, I mean Spock is even ten year younger on the back for crying out loud.  In short I would be really mad, it's not like there isn't a ton of stock art from the movie out there that could have been used.

What is more they used the movie poster on the spine, so would it really have been too much trouble to just google image search for a bigger version of that???

It makes no sense, seeing as all other releases besides the Bluray just use the movie poster it must have taken them more effort to create this garbage then it would have just to reuse the old art work, so why do it?

It makes no sense and it is ugly and misleading.

Why does this thing exist?
