Would be nicer if the title was glossy while everything else matte. But looks great to my liking.

 

[lolwut]

I agree that matte at least fits with the style of the film, but spot gloss would look nice on the lettering. As it is it looks pretty good. If it were this artwork I would buy it instantly:

^ The left above image is the cover for the Japan amaray I just picked up. Good thing I like it better than the steel cover.

Requires spot gloss on the title to make this one look terrific.

 

[mlmaier84]

I agree that spot gloss would look amazing, but I'm really surprised that the initial reaction on this doesn't look too good. Especially since the existing steels for this great movie are so plain and in my opinion, are terrible. I was really excited at first glance. However, I'm not super picky when it comes to matte or gloss. To each his own I guess...

So is Plain Archive like the Korean Criterion? These steels they are releasing look pretty nice and its good they are bringing class and refinery to steelbooks. But whats the price going to be for these and will worldwide shipping be available?

 

[blumaster]

I really dig the design on this. Gloss lettering would make it legit.

Matte finish on steelbook, no spot glossy at all.

Just matte like we always see many steelbook from zavvi.

It's already in production...it will be released on Feb, 2014.

All matte = disappointing. I won't be buying and I reckon they'd struggle to sell 4k of these. That digibook/digibox packaging further up this page looks much better to me and would be better value for money to me.

Why waste such a unique and stunning design? All gloss would have been amazing but even a nice thick matte paint job and spot gloss title (I'm thinking a similar quality finish to the Blufans Face/Off) and it would have been a great release.

I feel for the person who wasted their time creating this awesome artwork because it will most likely look poor.

this should be the slip for the steelbook as well!

It's metal sampler from Plain Archive facebook. They will open sample steelbook next January.

Is there white base layer on the bottom? I think this is very important for thickness & superior color. Many of ZAVII steelbook has not white base layer.

I asked about this situation. Plain Archive answered to me what it is white base layer on the bottom.

They're missing a major trick with not including gloss on the title. Such a shame really as that would've set it off perfectly

All matte is OK, but is there 'NO' white base layer?

F yes!! I smell what this Steelbook is cook'n / it's running wild on me / hell yeah / etc. etc.

 

[Bunk]

I'll be all over this like butter on bread .

Hoping it's the first of many more, and that Plain Archive will compete with Kimchi for my love and money .

 

[spass]

This looks really really good! I'll be all over this. Fantastic film too, wich is a bonus.

 

[SimonLDT]

Matte varnish? It looks from the photos like a similar matte to what Paramount used last year on the play.com releases (Shutter Island, Watchmen, etc), which would be a good thing.

It certainly looks good but as we all know, photos can be misleading.

 

[berns]

Looks absolutely amazing and they just sold me this!
