Disney and Best Buy have collaborated on a store exclusive 4K UHD SteelBook release of the 2001 Superhero film 'Captain America: The First Avenger.' The two-disc set includes the same content as the wide release in standard packaging. See the 'Special Features and Extras' section below for more on the SteelBook.

The SteelBook's front cover image doesn't offer anything "artistic" but is instead a fairly basic character collage prominently featuring title character
Captain America in full-body view, in uniform and carrying his trademark shield. Red Skull's head looms large above and behind him. Three other
characters appear: upper-body renditions of Bucky and Peggy and a "floating head" depicting Colonel Phillips. Red Skull's aircraft appears above
Bucky's head, while an American flag waves top left. There is no text on the front, and the image is bordered by a worn-looking beige color. The rear
side is of a much more reserved appearance. A depiction of Captain America's first shield appears center, surrounded by a worn-looking copper
coloring. Small print -- studio logs, a copyright notice, and a model number -- appear at the bottom. The spine carries over the same dark copper color
from the rear. The film's title appears center in relatively small print. A Paramount logo is situated at the top and UltraHD and Marvel Studios logos
appear at the bottom.
Inside, the digital copy is situated under the left-hand-side tabs. The two discs, one Blu-ray and one UHD, are situated on the right, staggered-stacked.
The inner print is made of a two-panel spread and features a depiction of Captain America, standing primarily on the left-hand side and looking off to
the left (his right). A couple of Hydra soldiers appear behind him.

This isn't the most spectacular SteelBook on the market. The front cover is too Photoshop-y for this reviewer's taste, but the print does look good as it is. The rear side is more enticing, and the inner print image is fine, if also a bit unspectacular. The on-disc content, though, is very good, but fans will have to ask themselves if the price premium is worth it for a fairly stale looking cover.
