Ford v Ferrari 4K Blu-ray Movie Review

Released alongside the standard 4K and Blu-ray editions, 20th Century Fox has issued several store-exclusive variants for the 2019 film Ford v Ferrari including this 4K Digipak Edition only available at Target. On-disc content is identical to the standard version but the stylish packaging includes a "Filmmaker Gallery Book" with production photos and quotes from the film. Priced similarly to the regular 4K edition, it's a low-risk upgrade that collectors and fans will enjoy.

Ford v Ferrari 4K Blu-ray Movie, Special Features and Extras 

This Limited Edition Digipak release, like most of Target's exclusives, is packaged in an attractive and eye-catching fold-out case featuring variant cover artwork and bold paneled images from the film. It's a nice and clean design that, while slightly bulkier than a keepcase or Steelbook, doesn't hog much shelf space. Both discs are held on separate trays, and the interior pocket contains a Digital Copy slip and "Filmmaker Gallery Book", detailed below.

• Filmmaker Gallery Book - This exclusive photo book is roughly the same size, thickness, and build quality as those in similar Target exclusives. The binding is tight with a square spine and all 28 pages are very thick and glossy, with a clean and attractive overall design that ties into the film's aesthetic. Unfortunately the content is extremely thin: it's mainly close-ups of the main characters and a handful of memorable moments peppered with roughly half a dozen quotes from the film. A word from the director or even a piece on the real-life events (or photos of the same) would have made this much more worthwhile -- I can't help but feel that most fans will look through this once and that's it. Maybe it would've even tied together more neatly as a Digibook?

Ford v Ferrari 4K Blu-ray Movie, Overall Score and Recommendation 

Ford v Ferrari was one of 2019's best films and one that I'd gladly revisit every so often. Featuring great characters, loads of (mostly authentic) history, expertly-filmed driving scenes, and nearly seamless visual effects, it's a true "total package" picture that has broad and lasting appeal. No shortage of home video options are available, including store exclusives like this Target Digibook; it makes a great first impression and having the 4K disc on board is a major plus, although the exclusive Filmmaker Gallery Book tucked inside is almost completely devoid of interesting content. It's still recommended if you can find it at a similar price point to the standard 4K release, either in-store on online.
