Battlestar Galactica 4K Blu-ray Movie, Special Features and Extras
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
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.
