Warner Brothers and Best Buy have collaborated on a store exclusive SteelBook release for the hit 'Wizarding World' film 'Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald.' This UHD set contains the same content as that which ships in wide release packaging. See the 'Special Features and Extras' tab below for more on the SteelBook's look and feel.

Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald 4K Blu-ray Movie, Special Features and Extras  3.0 of 5

Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald's Best Buy exclusive 4K SteelBook is a stunner. The front cover prominently depicts Grindelwald's wand, surrounded by the visible manifestations of a spell the character casts towards film's end. The imagery appears in front of a flat black background, giving the key visual elements a handsome offsetting appearance. The film's title appears centered but a bit below the middle. The "Wizarding World" logo appears unobtrusively bottom-center. The rear side prominently depicts a Thestral, center. The creature is in flight, surrounded by darkness, that same flat black from the front. It's a very simple but effective panel image. The spine features the film's title in a gray color against, again, a flat black background. A "Wizarding World" and Warner Brothers shield appear at the bottom. The SteelBook's material is such that it will not show fingerprints.

Inside, the digital copy code is situated underneath the left-hand side tabs. The two discs, one Blu-ray and one UHD, are housed on the right in staggered-stacked formation. The inner print is a two-panel spread that, rather than depict a scene or location from the movie, simply offers the film's collected key characters. Appearing from left to right: Gellert Grindelwald, Vinda Rosier, Grimmson, Jacob Kowalski, Queenie Goldstein, Newt Scamander, Tina Goldstein, Theseus Scamander, Leta Lestrange, Yusuf Kama, Albus Dumbledore, Nicolas Flamel, Irma Dugard, Credence Barebone, and Nagini. A billing block appears bottom left.

Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald 4K Blu-ray Movie, Overall Score and Recommendation  3.0 of 5

This Best Buy SteelBook is one of the more attractive on the market. It looks great with a welcome, reserved front and rear artwork and a simple assembled character photograph on the inside. It also feels great in the hand. The movie is fun and the A/V presentations are of a very high quality. Highly recommended.
