Speed 4K Blu-ray Movie, Special Features and Extras 

Disney's Speed SteelBook might best be described as "busy" on the front panel which, like the back, is slick and smooth and will show some
handling fingerprints. There's a blend of background colors: orange and yellow, mostly, on the left, and silver on the right. A profile image depicting
Annie appears top center in an amber-type color. Below her is a forward-facing image depicting Jack. There's a mess of stuff scattered around
elsewhere,
including a speedometer with the needle around the 53 miles-per-hour mark and the bus tearing through between 40 and 50. The bus can also be seen
bottom right speeding along front forward on two wheels; a couple of motorcycles are to the left in front of some gray smoke. A few amber palm trees
appear bottom left. The film's title appears in diagonal white letters, outlined in orange, situated bottom left and oriented at about an upward 45
degree angle. The rear panel is far less cluttered. Most of it is one of a couple of silver colors made to look like a road. The 2525 bus in a similar
orange/amber shade from the front appears at the top, essentially cut in half, while Jack can be seen approaching on the flat wheeled cart at the
bottom. A Fox logo and some legalese appear bottom left while a model number has been placed bottom right. The spine carries over the front panel's
left edge color scheme: orange up top, gray in the middle, and some amber palm trees at the bottom. The film's title appears center. An UltraHD logo
has been placed at the top and a Fox logo 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 depicts Jack underneath the bus taking a look at the bomb while riding on a
cart. His head and upper body are firmly on the left-hand side; the right is a bit darker and murkier as it looks at the bus's dark-colored underside and
the bomb.

Speed 4K Blu-ray Movie, Overall Score and Recommendation 

Speed's SteelBook is cluttered and the color scheme is a bit curious, too. It'll work for some but not for others. It's different if it's anything. The movie is great and so is the UHD presentation. Highly recommended.
