Spectre 4K Blu-ray Movie, Special Features and Extras
The glossy, slick, smooth, fingerprint attracting front SteelBook panel depicts James Bond, center, from the hips to the head, facing froward. He's
wearing a dark
long sleeve, form-fitting shirt with a shoulder holster. He's carrying his trademark Walther handgun in his right hand. The film's title runs across his
chest, center, with the 007 logo below. Behind him is a dark blue background that grows a little lighter towards center. The rear panel simply
features the same background color and small studio and legalese text at the bottom. The spine is a black color with the film's title center. MGM and
007
logos are above. Nothing is below.
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 very minimalist, offering what amounts to a blank, dark slate with large metallic dark blue "007" text at the bottom, only the top half or so of
which is visible.
There is a bit missing from the sides, too. It's essentially identical to the 2016 Blu-ray SteelBook save for color and size; there's a little more
information
on the left "0" on the older SteelBook.

Spectre 4K Blu-ray Movie, Overall Score and Recommendation
MGM has gone minimalist with the Bond 4K SteelBooks. They look good and get the job done, highlighting the main character and little more. They are
elegant, uncluttered, and should please fans. The 4K content is excellent, too. Highly recommended.
