Paramount has widely released a Blu-ray/UHD SteelBook packaging variant for the 2023 Fantasy film 'Dungeons & Dragons.' The disc and digital content is identical to that found in the wide release, with this exception that this issue also bundles in the Blu-ray. See the 'Special Features and Extras' section of the review below for more on the SteelBook's look and feel.

Paramount's glossy SteelBook will show handling fingerprints in the darker areas. The front panel features the heroes in silhouette at the bottom
against a yellow background, which is part of the SteelBook's primary image of a yellow dragon curled around and breathing fire. The film's title
appears in red and white text center, just below the midpoint. The rear panel is black save for the "&" symbol from the "Dungeons & Dragons" text,
which is itself a dragon,
center. The spine is black with the film's title running most of the length. A Paramount log appears 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 a two-panel spread that features the band of heroes, again in silhouette, walking across a long
horizontal tree branch that extends across the entirety of the left panel. Most of the right side is a dark mass of tree. On the left is some light
artwork,
including in white a dragon blowing fire. This is the same dragon image seen on the front.

The design is simple, but the end result is effective. I love this SteelBook's look; the rear panel is a bit boring, but everything else looks great. The movie is good enough and the UHD is rock-solid, too. Recommended.
