Universal and Best Buy have collaborated on a store exclusive UHD SteelBook release for the 1978 film 'Battlestar Galactica.' The disc content is identical to that found in the UHD wide release. See the 'Special Features and Extras' section of the review below for more on the SteelBook's look and feel.

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.

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.
