Ant-Man Blu-ray Movie Review

Full Size SteelBook, Tiny Superhero.

Reviewed by Martin Liebman July 22, 2018

Marvel Studios and Best Buy have collaborated on a new line of SteelBook re-releases for several Marvel films, including 'Ant-Man,' 'Captain America: Civil War,' 'The Avengers,' and 'Avengers: Age of Ultron.' The artwork, courtesy of alternative artwork designer Matt Ferguson, is, generally, relatively unassuming but at the same time largely gorgeous and a nice change of pace from the typical character collages. The discs are simply ports of previous releases, so these releases are only for hardcore SteelBook collectors or first-time buyers.

Ant-Man Blu-ray Movie, Special Features and Extras  2.5 of 5

The SteelBook, which is prone to fingerprinting, features a silhouetted Ant-Man in front of a centered geometric shape with several others appearing less prominently across a red-tinted sky. Ant-Man stands atop a mound of dark, nearly black, terrain with grasses sprouting up off to the sides. The film's title appears center-bottom and is embossed.

The spine is an attractive silver color across the top two-thirds or so with the black terrain from the front wrapping around, including some blades of grass sprouting up. "Marvel Studios" appears in small type at the top. The film's title appears near-center. A red PYM Technologies symbol is situated near the top of the black surface area and a Blu-ray disc logo appears on the bottom. The release ships with a basic removable card with a few identifying markers on the front including artist name and Best Buy exclusivity on the top and Marvel Studios "ten years" logo at the bottom. It also features a flat black top and basic rear-panel listings including a movie synopsis, special features listing, credits, and an image collage. Underneath the card, the terrain wraps around and the various structures line its top. A PYM Technologies logo, in a sliver color, appears center-top. The grassy terrain wraps around, as does the red sky with the various geometric shapes.

Inside, the single disc is situated on the right-hand side. The inner print is very basic. It's essentially reflective of the outside's basic image properties: the terrain, Ant-Man standing atop it, and the PYM logo from the rear. The main difference is that the title has been moved to the top above the characters. Everything that was in color on the front and back are red, and everything else is black.

Ant-Man Blu-ray Movie, Overall Score and Recommendation  4.0 of 5

Matt Ferguson's SteelBooks are undeniably very attractive, but they release at a time when the films have been on the market for some time, when Civil War and Ant-Man have previously released in the SteelBook format, and The Avengers and Avengers: Age of Ultron are soon re-releasing in 4K UHD SteelBooks alongside Infinity War. That makes these, as attractive as they are, somewhat superfluous. But there are several potential audiences, as small as they may be: hardcore SteelBook collectors, first-time buyers for any or all of these movies, and those who don't care about future 4K re-issues, whether announced or unannounced. All that said, these are first-rate SteelBook releases that, for anyone interested in their collectibility, come highly recommended.
