Space Jam 4K Blu-ray Movie Review

Space Jam arrives on 4K UHD in a stunning collectible steelbook edition.

Space Jam is an entertaining family-film combining basketball with Looney Tunes (and there is much to appreciate about that unique combination). The storyline focuses on an epic basketball game involving Bugs Bunny and other Looney Tunes pals as the characters reach out to retired basketball super-star Michael Jordan to help win the game. Can Michael Jordan and Bugs Bunny team up and become the heroes of the basketball court?

Featuring a screenplay by Leo Benvenuti (Space Jam: A New Legacy), Steve Rudnick (The Santa Clause), Timothy Harris (Trading Places), and Herschel Weingrod (Twins), Space Jam is full of entertaining family-fun. Directed by Joe Pytka (Let It Ride), fans of Looney Tunes won't want to overlook this mash-up. There's even a score composed by the brilliant James Newton Howard (King Kong, The Sixth Sense).

Time to jam!

The exclusive collectors edition comes in collectible steelbook packaging. The release has a nice glossy print quality and the design has a premium quality finish that far exceeds that of lower-print quality matte steelbooks. The front-image features a photo showing Michael Jordan alongside Bugs Bunny on a basketball court. The design is simple but highly effective. The inside art-work has a nice illustration of Bugs Bunny which also enhances the steelbook presentation. A nice release for fans of the film.
