Captain America: The Winter Soldier 4K Blu-ray Movie, Special Features and Extras 

Best Buy and Disney have maintained a consistent visual appearance for The Winter Soldier's SteelBook. It features the same beige border with artwork in the middle that was seen on the Captain America: The First Avenger SteelBook and is also replicated for the Civil War Steel. The artwork proper is simply a reproduction of one of the film's posters. It's a somewhat busy image featuring Captain America walking forwards, flanked, behind him, with Nick Fury on his right (the SteelBook's left) and Black Widow on his left (the SteelBook's right). Winter Solider and Alexander Pierce also appear, more blended into the cluttered action-y background. The Helicarrier prominently appears at the top. The image's edges have a metallic, frayed appearance. There is no text of any kind on the front. The rear side is a simple battered, faded black color, with various scratches and other signs of wear. Captain America's shield, faded and worn, appears center. Very small Marvel, copyright, and model number text appears at the bottom. The spine maintains the same color profile as the rear. The film's title appears center in fairly small type. A Marvel Studios logo faintly appears at the top and an UltraHD logo in small type at the bottom.

Inside, the digital copy code is situated underneath the left-hand side tabs. The two discs, one Blu-ray and one UHD, are housed on the right in staggered-stacked formation. The inner print is a two-panel spread that depicts Captain America leaping in the air, bashing an enemy with his shield. There's a good bit of motion blur in play. Captain America's body is split by the spine. The enemy receiving the bash appears squarely on the right under the discs.

Captain America: The Winter Soldier 4K Blu-ray Movie, Overall Score and Recommendation 

Rather than anything overly artsy, Best Buy and Disney have opted for a poster reproduction on the front and a very simple rear. The artwork is effective, aided by the metallic texture, but one can imagine a superior, more novel and eye-catching, layout. The on-disc content is quite good. Recommended.
