The life of forensic scientist Barry Allen (Grant Gustin) went into turbo mode when a particle accelerator explosion triggered a biochemical transformation that made him the fastest man alive. But now he's got to defend Central City from a rogue's gallery of equally superhuman beings and find a way to reverse the singularity brewing overhead. This complete Season 2 collection on Blu-ray includes nearly three hours of extras including featurettes, gag reels, the 2015 Comic-Con panel, deleted scenes and more.

The picture on this particular release was quite good. The sound also was nicely mixed in a DTS-HD 5.1 format.
As far as the season itself, I wasn't totally impressed with it. It felt like a re-tread of the season 1 storyline with yet another speedster causing problems for The Flash and his team. The season ending also felt flat to me as well. All in all, I felt that season 2 was good but not great so I feel it should be recommended only to fans of the show.
On a side note, I liked the costume design of Zoom. The special effects were also well done as well.

I like the design of this particular steelbook. I've gotten several of the Best Buy exclusive MCU steelbooks and the design on this one was well done with the mystical script on the inside and what looked like a spell book on the outside with the embossed "Eye of Agamotto" (I think that's what it's called in the Marvel Universe) on the front of the steelbook.
As has been the case with many of the Best Buy exclusive steelbooks, this one sold out very quickly in my area. So if you do find one at your location or on the Best Buy website you'd better snag it quickly.
My thoughts on the movie itself:
I liked how the special effects were done. They were similar to 2010's Inception in their presentation.
I thought Benedict Cumberbatch gave a good performance as Dr. Strange. The look and mannerisms were nicely done.
The DTS-HD 7.1 sound mix sounded good on my home theater. It made good use of all the channels.
The extras were interesting. In particular, the "Team Thor" extra was quite amusing.
So yes, I'd recommend this movie. I don't think it was the best MCU movie but it was still a good entry nonetheless.
