Coming to America 4K Blu-ray Movie, Special Features and Extras
The SteelBook's front and rear panels are smooth and glossy but the color scheme doesn't really allow for much in the way of visible fingerprints. The
image features Akeem front-and-center, filling much of the front, standing in regal attire and a royal pose. Eddie Murphy's name appears in bold blue
block letters top center, and the film's title in red below that, with "America" much larger than "Coming to." At the bottom is a skyline with a bridge
standing taller on the left and an American flag on the right. The background is a cinderblock wall. On the rear panel the wall remains but most of the
clutter is gone, replaced by an image of a crown, which has been freshly painted (it's streaking at the bottom). Bottom center is a Paramount logo and
a copyright notice. Bottom right is a model number. The spine holds the background pattern. Murphy's name, again in blue, is as dominant as the film's
title, which is in red with more emphasis on "America." A Paramount logo appears at the top and an UltraHD logo at the bottom.
Inside, the digital copy code and a folded mini-poster advertising the fictional band "Sexual Chocolate" are tucked underneath the left-hand-side
tabs. The lone UHD disc is situated on the right. The inner print is a two-panel
spread that features Akeem on the left and Semmi on the right, wearing their New York attire: the former a Mets jacket and the latter a Jets jacket with
all of the New York "flair" strewn about. They are standing in front of the same wall seen on the exterior panels.
The UHD disc contains the same extras from the 2007 disc; please click here for reviews.
Coming to America 4K Blu-ray Movie, Overall Score and Recommendation
Fans can decide if the artwork speaks to them or not, but rest assured that the on-disc content is first-rate. Highly recommended.
