Released alongside their separate standard 4K and Blu-ray editions, Warner Bros. also offers a Steelbook combo pack of Zach Cregger's breakout horror hit Weapons. Assuming you can still find a copy, the obvious benefits include deluxe packaging and having both formats in one package, but otherwise all on-disc contents are identical.

For separate coverage of the 2160p/HDR10/Dolby Vision and 1080p/SDR transfers, please see my reviews of the standard 4K and Blu-ray editions. Both are very good to outstanding efforts for their respective formats.

For details about the terrific Dolby Atmos audio (identical on both discs), please see my 4K review.

As seen above, this two-disc release ships in matte-finish Steelbook packaging that differs from both identical wide releases with an image of Alex parting his bedroom curtains for a look at who's coming up the street. Meanwhile, the back cover features an ominous digital clock readout of the fateful time "2:17", while the interior spread recreates a disturbing moment from Justine's nightmare. Both discs sit on overlapping hubs on the right-hand side and a Digital Copy slip is also included. Overall, it fits the film's tone well enough and should appeal to established fans.
The extras are of very good quality despite their brevity, which makes it all the more disappointing that more weren't included. All are identical on both included discs and covered in more detail in my 4K review.

Zach Cregger's Weapons was one of this year's most talked-about horror films and a fairly original one at that, and it will hopefully stand on its own as long as possible before likely devolving into an ongoing cinematic universe. For now it remains a decently solid genre effort that invites analysis and several rewatches, and Warner Bros.' trio of home video editions are largely up to the challenge of satisfying fans and first-timers alike. The A/V merits are proportionately solid across the board although the trio of bonus features, though very good despite their brevity, could have easily been expanded upon to sweeten the deal. This Steelbook offers both formats and comes Recommended to collectors.
