Battlestar Galactica 4K Blu-ray Movie, Special Features and Extras  n/a of 5

Universal's SteelBook presentation features a very light gray/creamy white background. Filling most of the panel is an image collage with the film's title center, a Cylon facing forward essentially in silhouette center filling the fullness of the vertical space, and a cluster of ships racing out from the center, where an orange fiery explosion is occurring. The rear panel features the same color scheme but with a circular logo patch, center, willed with triangles of various sizes and orientations. The spine is the same color as the background with the film's title center and a small universal logo at the bottom.

Inside, 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 an empty space field on both panels. Beyond a few dark blue celestial formations, the only imagery is a Viper and a Cylon ship in battle at the top left-hand corner of the left panel.

Battlestar Galactica 4K Blu-ray Movie, Overall Score and Recommendation  3.0 of 5

This is a fairly bland SteelBook, but it gets the job done. The UHD inside is great, even with the lack of bonus content. Recommended.
