Ender's Game 4K Blu-ray Movie Review
Reviewed by Jeffrey Kauffman August 9, 2023
Lionsgate is partnering with Best Buy for another exclusive SteelBook, offering new packaging for Ender's Game 4K, which was at the time one of Lionsgate's first releases in the then new 4K UHD format.
See the supplements section below for comments on the SteelBook.
My thoughts on the original release can be found by clicking on the following link:

Ender's Game 4K Blu-ray Movie, Special Features and Extras
The 4K UHD disc boasts no supplementary content (see the above linked review for a link to my 1080 review, which lists the supplements on that disc).
The SteelBook offers a rather cool looking portrait of Ender on the front panel, an illustration that becomes "clothed" in a spacesuit courtesy of the
mylar O ring. The front panel emphasizes blues and rather subtle teals toward the top with oranges predominating at the bottom, while the back panel,
which offers a kind of barren apocalyptic alien environment, does the same. The inside offers a scary monster on the left with the discs on the right.
Additionally a digital copy is included.
Ender's Game 4K Blu-ray Movie, Overall Score and Recommendation
It's kind of fun to see Ender's Game as what might be thought of as a cultural artifact now, as one of the very first 4K UHD releases from
Lionsgate back in 2016. I personally found the audio more thrilling than the video on this 4K UHD release, but for SteelBook collectors, this packaging
offers a nice looking set of illustrations on the front and back panels.
