Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales 4K Blu-ray Movie, Special Features and Extras 

The SteelBook's front panel black color is a backdrop for a very involved, detailed, and debossed skull and crossbones image. The eyes, nose, and mouth receive the detail work, while the surface-level picture shows plenty of high clarity elements such as beads, lettering and symbology on exposed bone, and various other decorations. It's a hearty image that makes an impact and it's one of the best front SteelBook images on the market. The film's title appears center at the bottom. The words "Pirates" and "Caribbean" are colored similarly to the exposed bone. There are also a few diagrams and other text trinkets faintly appearing in the background. On the rear side is the depiction of a shipwreck. Gray, cloudy skies appear in the distance and the darkened foreground shows skulls and other wreckage remnants. It's not as dramatic as the front image but it is an attractive picture. The spine features a dark red color. The film's title runs down the spine and covers the majority of it. A Disney Blu-ray logo appears at the bottom. The front and rear panels are glossy and will show fingerprints.

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 five full-body character renditions: Captain Barbosa and Jack Sparrow on the left and Henry Turner, Captain Armando Salazar, and Carina Smyth on the right.

Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales 4K Blu-ray Movie, Overall Score and Recommendation 

This is a great looking SteelBook. The front image makes a powerful impact and the rest of it isn't shabby, either, even if the inner print is a little uninspired. The movie is so-so but the on-disc content is very good. This SteelBook is also available in a Blu-ray/DVD combo. Recommended.
