Disney and Best Buy have collaborated on a store exclusive SteelBook release for the live action fairy tale sequel film 'Maleficent: Mistress of Evil.' The disc and digital content is identical to that found in the wide release. See the 'Special Features and Extras' section of the review below for more on the SteelBook's look and feel.

White and black feature prominently on the front and rear panels, which are smooth and fingerprint attractors. The front panel depicts the title
character in shadowy profile, the pasty skin contrasting with the darkened accent headwear and wings. The face is harshly illuminated from the front,
brightening the face and highlighting the ruby red lips. Angelina Jolie's name appears center top, below which is the film's title, debossed. The rear
panel artistically depicts Maleficent in flight with broad brush strokes and splotches that form feathers and birds around the character, which is off
center amidst lightly colored concentric swirls. The spine is black with the film's title center. An UltraHD logo appears at the top and a Disney logo may
be found at the bottom.
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 Maleficent, torso and body just underneath the discs on the right. Her
wings are spread wide, a black mass extending from edge to edge across both panels. Red airbursts appear behind her.

Maleficent: Mistress of Evil has earned a handsome SteelBook that toes the line between the movie's central question of the title character's perceived and real duality. The rear panel is particularly interesting (a standalone image thereof would make great wall art for serious fans). The inner print is a bit uninspired. The on-disc content is fairly strong. Recommended.
