American Graffiti 4K Blu-ray Movie Review

Universal and Best Buy have collaborated on a store exclusive SteelBook release for George Lucas' 1973 film 'American Graffiti.' The disc and digital content is identical to that found in the wide release. See the 'Special Features and Extras' section of the review below for more on the SteelBook's look and feel.

American Graffiti 4K Blu-ray Movie, Special Features and Extras 

Universal's matte SteelBook shows a collage of content on the front: cars on the street at the top, characters dancing and talking and socializing throughout the rest of the panel, and even the dance band performing bottom right. It's very colorful and stylized with the film's title in red above center and adjusted to the right. The rear panel shows a dark blue background with the iconic "Mels" restaurant sign center and towards the top. The spine is dark blue with the film's title in red, center, and a white Universal logo at the bottom.

Inside, the digital copy code is tucked underneath the left-hand-side tabs. The two discs, one UHD and one Blu-ray, are situated on the right in staggered-stacked formation. The inner print is a two-panel spread that features a photograph collage depicting key characters and moments from the film, arranged in a somewhat scattered way where they are at different angles and at times slightly covering one another.

American Graffiti 4K Blu-ray Movie, Overall Score and Recommendation 

Well, the SteelBook is solid, and the film is something of a classic, but the UHD video review earns this release, even in SteelBook packaging, a firm thumbs down.
