Vesper Blu-ray Movie Review

Wash your hands, people.

Reviewed by Randy Miller III February 20, 2024

RLJ Entertainment's recent onslaught of catalog Steelbooks continues with Kristina Buo˛ytė and Bruno Samper's 2022 film Vesper, an interesting little post-apocalyptic sci-fi thriller first released on Blu-ray in January 2023 and reviewed here by yours truly. Like RLJ's other recent Steelbook re-issues, this is a modest upgrade overall and aimed almost exclusively at packaging collectors, as it features identical disc content and a bonus DVD copy of the film.


For a synopsis of the main feature, please see my review of IFC's 2023 Blu-ray.

Vesper Blu-ray Movie, Special Features and Extras  1.5 of 5

This two-disc release ships in standard Steelbook packaging that looks quite nice in-hand, with a semi-reflective metallic sheen highlighting the champagne-colored background of its front cover collage. It's back cover recycles the standard Blu-ray's front image, depicting Vesper facing down a massive Citadel far in the distance. Inside is a two-panel spread with our young heroine trudging through the wasteland alongside a floating drone. Both discs sit on overlapping hubs to the right. It's a solid design that should appeal to collectors and die-hard fans.

Four bite-sized bonus featurettes are included and identical to those found on IFC's 2023 Blu-ray.

  • A Hero in the Wasteland (2:15)

  • The Drone Factor (2:15)

  • A Chronicle of the Future (3:58)

  • The World of Tomorrow (2:56)


Vesper Blu-ray Movie, Overall Score and Recommendation  3.5 of 5

Kristina Buo˛ytė and Bruno Samper's Vesper isn't perfect sci-fi entertainment but it's got a few great ideas, impressive visuals and effects, and it does a respectable amount of of world-building for pennies on the dollar. I have a feeling this film might age better than most in the genre, even if for now I'll place it in the "good, not great" category. Despite IFC's 2023 Blu-ray being barely a year old, they've already gone to the well for this Steelbook re-issue; it may irk fans who would've rather had this to begin with, but it's still a nice-looking package that collectors will enjoy.
