Casino Royale 4K Blu-ray Movie Review

Reviewed by Martin Liebman March 22, 2020

MGM and Best Buy have collaborated on a store exclusive SteelBook release for 'Casino Royale,' the first Bond film to star Daniel Craig. The disc and digital content is identical to that found in the wide release. See the 'Special Features and Extras' section of the review below for more on the SteelBook's look and feel.

MGM favors simplicity for the Casino Royale SteelBook. For the front image, the studio has chosen to depict Bond, bowtie undone, jacket open, facing forward but looking to his left. He's carrying a suppressed pistol in his right hand, hanging down at this side. He is seen from the thighs up. The film's title appears center with the letter "O" in both "Casino" and "Royale" forming the "0s" in "007." Bond appears in front of a dark red background that lightens towards center. The rear panel is basically identical with the same metallic red paint that lightens towards the middle, but without any character imagery. White studio logos and legalese appear bottom, center. The spine is similarly colored. The film's title appears center. MGM and 007 logos have been placed at the top.

Inside, the digital copy code is tucked underneath the left-hand-side tabs. The two discs, one UHD and one Blu-ray, are situated on the right in staggered-stacked formation. The inner print is very minimalist, offering what amounts to a blank, dark red slate with large metallic lighter red "007" text at the bottom, only the top half or so of which is visible.

Casino Royale 4K Blu-ray Movie, Overall Score and Recommendation  4.0 of 5

MGM's minimalist approach to the Bond SteelBooks works. Perhaps depicting the entire "007" logo within the interior print might have made for a more approachable presentation, but the off-center layout is at least unique. This is the best film in the Craig series, but it's not the best UHD of the bunch. For collectors only.
