Not that I'm complaining, but I thought the minimal back art was an artistic decision to create synergy throughout the set? If it's the case they've listened to feedback from us about the lack of interesting back art great.

This is a good movie that I do not have in my collection yet so I'm not disappointed but I'm starting to feel a little fooled about this cheap titles (not bad titles but old and cheap discs) for which they are charging us as they were new titles on blu ray, how are you feeling about this, folks?

i think 27$CAD is a pretty good deal for a premium steelbook with a coverslip and WEA !

Sure it is, but I mean the price seems more fair for titles like Ex-Machina rather than Total Recall (25 years old), not that I don't like the film or the nice steelbook treatment, just a thought.

Sorry if asked before...is this happening in the US also?

Any word on if this has the remastered disc? A redditor said he was disappointed with the Terminator disc not being remastered and is hesitant to purchase this for fear of the same thing.

It says remastered on the back and has the same specs as the remastered disc

The only BD of this in the US / Canada before the remastered discs was the first line of Lionsgate BD's which featured MPEG2 video and lossy DTS 6.1 audio

Doesnt seem to have been noted here yet that the price has dropped to $24.99 now. That puts it at 1 cent short of free shipping...same as Nightcrawler, so I just ordered the 2 together to get the free shipping.

Has anyone been having issues ordering this from bestbuy? I keep getting checkout errors when preordering this or Nightcrawler

Didn't realize the title was only on the slip. Even with the title it's not obvious what film it is, but without it...yeah I'm back to sticking with my Zavvi steel as mediocre as that is.

I got an error when I clicked "Checkout with PayPal" for a different item. It worked when I went back to try a 2nd time.

I'll post some better detailed pics. This is actually the first case ever to have text on the HINGE (where it opens). Pretty slick. Also on top and bottom too.

[hatredhorror]

no title is kind of a huge letdown.. will keep it sealed then..

I won't be purchasing this for myself (I like Total Recall, but not so much I want to own it), but I think it has the best overall packaging/design of all the Mondo X SteelBooks so far.

Head to That guy's Instagram (CLICK HERE) for some cool closeup of the side of the steel! Never-before-seen effect!

You should really credit that guy @Drum18
