No issues with the artwork, but if there's a movie that I buy in 4K, this would be it. I'm done with buying both the non-4K steelbook and the 4K non-steelbook release. So if there's no 4K steelbook for this, I'm just going to wait until the regular 4K release is on sale for $14.99.

I don't know about the rest of the world but Canada is getting the 4K steelbook release for this.
The U.S. only shows regular blu-ray.

I think the link in the OP is out of date as it shows sold out @ $22.99.
This link shows the US Best Buy listing available for pre-order @ $29.99 for the Blu-ray/DVD steelbook.

I hope they stop cramming the 4K down our throats. For gods sakes there are actually people out there that still buy DVD's and I dont know why the studios are still supporting that over 3D

Well then this release is definitely for you then!

It's funny that 4K is selling so well and is quite popular, and releases like this are why I'm buying less and less steelbooks every month. But it saves me money, because 4K releases eventually go down in price but popular steelbooks do not. So THANK YOU for saving me money. Steelbooks in the US will slowly die unless more of them are 4K.

50% of the US steelbook quality is junk anyways, so I will just buy from overseas

Agreed. My main interest is 3D which is pretty much dead for US steelbooks. I'm ordering pretty much everything from overseas now. Valerian is a perfect example. I just don't get why the US has a 2D only steelbook while Amazon UK has the exact same steel with 4K+3D+2D. I just went region free so I don't have to put up with this nonsense anymore.

Well if this matches the sales at the box office this'll be $5 on Black Friday

No doubt the movie bombed . It's not one for the masses. Still, I'm a Luc Besson fan and I enjoyed it. Looking forward to seeing in 3D at home!

I could not find a 3D disc

It's available outside of the USA, but probably not region A. There's a 3D release from India on ebay that's advertised as region free but that's unconfirmed as of yet.

Yeah, same here. Nowadays I have to resort to buying steelbooks from overseas coz of the lack of 3D releases. And I am not region free yet on my players, so I got to be careful which one is ABC, and which one is Non-A.

Yeah, I have a RF BD player, but not 3D, I have a ton of 3D disc that are useless to me

Too bad this is not a 4K or 3D SteelBook release. It will be around for sale pricing later on.

The steelbook is 100x better than the actual movie. My wife walked out on it last week, saying that the acting was giving her a headache. It's so bad!

That's not good. I did a blind Buy on this, now you're making me think I should go ahead and return it instead of opening it.

Wow! that looks a lot nicer than I was expecting - only badly let down by content when compared to the 2 steelbooks from France with the different artworks with 3 discs in each . . . 3D + BD + BONUS BD / 4K UHD + BD + BONUS BD:-
