Available alongside the separate 4K and Blu-ray editions, this harder-to-find 4K Steelbook of Denis Villeneuve's Dune: Part Two is the only way to get both formats in one shot... and in nice-looking packaging to boot. Not surprisingly, disc contents are 100% identical to the regular versions, meaning that this one's aimed at collectors only.
For my thoughts on both the 2160p/HDR10 (Dolby Vision compatible) 4K transfer and the 1080p/SDR Blu-ray transfer, please see my separate reviews of the 4K and Blu-ray editions.
For details about Dune: Part Two's massively effective Dolby Atmos track (which is identical on both discs), please again refer to my review of the 4K edition. Hell, just leave it open in another tab.
This two-disc release is housed in a glossy Steelbook case with attractive design elements, depicting a gargantuan sandworm below the film's logo and a rear shot of Paul Atreides and Chani standing before a striking sunset. Inside is a two-panel image of the desert floor with a "Thumper" on the left side. On the right are overlapping hubs with both the 4K and Blu-ray discs. Although inarguably a bit heavy on the orange and red (some contrast might have been nice), this is still a very good-looking Steelbook and much better than the standard 4K imagery. Please note that I added the glittery "Spice" effect -- it's not on the actual case, even though it probably should have been.
The bonus features are identical on both discs; for a list and more details, see my standard 4K review.
Denis Villeneuve's Dune: Part Two is an outstanding follow-up to the first chapter and well worth the three-year wait. Warner Bros.' separate 4K and Blu-ray will get the job done for fans, but this more elusive Steelbook edition is the only way to get both formats at once... and the packaging looks great, too. It's worth the pick-up for completists.
