It 4K Blu-ray delivers stunning video and audio in this enjoyable Blu-ray release
In a small town in Maine, seven children known as The Losers Club come face to face with life problems, bullies and a monster that takes the shape of a clown called Pennywise.
For more about It 4K and the It 4K Blu-ray release, see It 4K Blu-ray Review published by Martin Liebman on September 16, 2019 where this Blu-ray release scored 3.0 out of 5.
Warner Brothers and Best Buy have collaborated on a store exclusive SteelBook release for Director Andy Muschietti's popular Horror film 'It,'
based on the acclaimed novel by Stephen King. The UHD disc and digital content is identical to that found in the wide release. This is the second UHD SteelBook issue for the film, this one
replacing the January 2018 release which is long since sold out. Unfortunately, this one-disc
set does away with the Blu-ray copy and, subsequently, all of the supplemental content. See the 'Special Features
and Extras' section of the review below for more on the SteelBook's look and feel.

The SteelBook feels good in the hand. It does away with the more typical glossy, slick, and fingerprint prone material in favor of an outer shell that's a
little more grippy and coarse. And with black the predominant color, it's the right choice. The front image depicts a shadowy, menacing clown figure
against a grim sewer wall interior. A small figure stands on the left-hand side, illuminated from the rear by an unseen light source and appears to be
the point of projection for the shadow. The film's title is scrawled in red letters bottom-center. The rear panel features a wet surface with some
accumulated water being pelted by raindrops. A lonely, single, yellow, paper boat floats atop the water. As with the front image, black engulfs the
periphery while a predominately gray color appears center. The spine features the film's title in scrawled red letters, center. A Warner Brothers logo
appears at the bottom.
Inside, the digital copy code is tucked underneath the left-hand-side tabs. The lone UHD disc is situated on the right on its own hub. The inner print is
a
two-panel spread that features a hand on the left reaching towards a sewer grate on the right, out of which is peering a terrifyingly smiling Pennywise.
A billing block appears bottom left.
As mentioned above, this set only includes the featureless UHD disc. The missing Blu-ray houses all of the extras.
The SteelBook is very nice, texturally and aesthetically. But the iffy 4K video presentation and the complete absence of supplemental content make it
difficult to recommend, at least fully. This is, subjectively speaking, the superior of the two SteelBooks in terms of art design, so it's a go for hardcore
collectors or first-time buyers who want a SteelBook and don't mind missing out on the extras.
