What the hell....that's awful.
I got GOTG ....not this ....contender for worst steelbook of the year ?

Come on blu fans....
 
Too small a picture, can't really tell how bad it is. I'll hold off judgement until I see an actual mock up. I'll be waiting till blufans anyways so it'll be about 3 years before I own an Ant Man Steelbook
 
Negative comments always amaze me when we see nothing at all. It is true that the luke98 artwork is gorgeous , but with matte finish and without embossing / debossing, it would be very disappointing. So wait and see.

Yeah, without the finish @luke98's would be slightly disappointing. The current actual artwork is a joke of a steelbook. You can emboss and put gloss on a turd, but it's still a turd.

Here's the rest that you can't see:

I guarantee you it's gonna be a turd if they stay with the current mockup (I can't even call it artwork after seeing it again)
You're very presumptuous. You guaranteed and you judge when you know nothing. I think a Steelbook with an aspect "brushed aluminum" (like the Best Buy picture) would be a killer. I'll stop there and leave you to your certainties and i stay with mine my friend.:thumbs:

I think an "aspect" of brushed aluminum would look cool too. But not the entire steelbook being a brushed metal SSD that seemingly has no significance to the movie.

My interest has waned in steelbooks over the last few years the market has become saturated with mundane steelbooks following the same bland blueprint. Poster art on the front, character posing on the back, screengrab for the inside, rinse and repeat.

I don't buy as many as i used to, but this will be one i buy.

I've seen some of you go 'it's totally uncreative' which is embarrassing. It's like you've forgotten the meaning of the word, Creative is "relating to or involving the use of the imagination or original ideas to create something." This is exactly what this does.

The design's really clever. It's taken one of the most important premises of the film/character and turned it into a physical item. No it's not literally in the film, but it's a clever representation. it's taking a tiny item and seeing it from a new perspective. The entire steelbook is the sd card, the inside shows the inner workings of the s.d card and the back will be the back of an s.d card...also a steelbook isn't a bad representation of an sd card either.

This is much better than generic poster art, it's funny when they try and be creative, you folk label it as lazy. I'll tell you what lazy is, googling antman film posters, then slapping them ona steelbook and labelling it 'special'. I find it hilarious that you all want art like luke98 posted, that's lazy and generic as those images can be found within a minute of searching antman film poster.

not saying you can't like the generic poster art steelbooks, and i'm not saying the execution of this is flawless either. personally i want my collectible packaging for my films to be unique that requires effort and thought, not something i could find on google.

& I'm not the only one, the proof is in the pudding as they say, guardians of the galaxy was panned by many hi def ninja "specialists" yet it's one of the few genuinely sort after steelbooks launched since zavvi saturated the market.

I welcome original designs. they won't be to everyones taste, But that's definetly a good thing.
 
No it's not literally in the film

I think more than lazy design, that's what irks me. I get the whole "he's tiny so here's something from his perspective". But use something that's relative to the movie. Now, if he was shown getting into someone's Solid State Drive (sorry, I'm an IT Guy, SSD != SD) and sabotaging it from the inside, then that would make sense to feature that on the steelbook. But, otherwise they might as well as put him crawling out of the openings on a fly swatter or scaling a mountain of someone's pocket change or using a crazy straw as a water slide.

I truly feel sorry for people who can enjoy & appreciate only the most literal of things.
