Sonic the Hedgehog 2 4K Blu-ray Movie, Special Features and Extras
Paramount's SteelBook is glossy and smooth but doesn't show excess handling fingerprints. The front panel features Sonic and Tails standing
back-to-back, Sonic in front, Tails behind, the latter looking over the shoulder. Behind them is the looming, larger-than-life Robotnik hovering above
the
top. His hand is grasping a very large number "2." With the clear, transparent slipcover on, the film's title appears at the bottom. The whole thing has
something of a Sega Genesis look to it. On the rear are Knuckles on the left, Sonic on the right, heads butting, facing off. At the bottom their hands
are
colliding, surrounded by red and blue energy. Some logos and legalese appear at the bottom. There is nothing printed on the slipcover's rear. The
spine
features a gray-black background with the film's title in small print center. A Paramount logo appears at the top and an UltraHD logo at the bottom.
The
slipcover spines are blank.
Inside, the digital copy code and a flyer pitching other Sonic content are 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 Robotnik and Knuckles squaring off against Sonic and Tails; the
former
are on the left in front of a blue background and the latter are on the right in front of an orange background.

Sonic the Hedgehog 2 4K Blu-ray Movie, Overall Score and Recommendation
This is a cool SteelBook; it's colorful, it has a larger-than-life feel, and the slipcover is a nice touch, even if it doesn't add much. The movie is decent
and the UHD video and audio are fine. Recommended.
