intriguing - i have just checked mine and it's not streaky at all. maybe i got lucky, or a rogue good copy got out, if you're right!

Maybe it's a matter of opinion then, but I've seen a few, owned one, and haven't been impressed with the finish. Arrow's won't be much better, but it's basic black streaky matte I can't stand.

And the Oscar for the worst steelbook artwork, worst overall artwork and also for the best parody goes to....

Another grail.

Never in a million years would I have guessed the art was by Matt Griffin... I usually love his work, but this just isn't doing it for me unfortunately. Also, using the same art twice for a single edition is bad enough, but FOUR times?! I'm sure by now Arrow can afford to at least pay artists a bit more to come up with a little something extra, especially if it'd help sell their product better.

i showed this - just the image only, blocking out the words - to my Significant Other and asked them to guess the film. they said: "Outbreak?"

it's great that people who missed the original can have a chance to own a steel of the film, and i'm glad it's not the same as the old one for a bit of variety - but the old one is so. much. better.

will this release also have spot gloss, embossing and the proper logo? 'course not.

Completely forgot about that steel and the fact that I own it lol. Makes passing on this one even easier!

Looks like some sort of Japanese Anime.

They need to start feeding the steelbook artists more than just LSD.

none will work now. rcvip works if you're in there straight off the bat.

Disastrous Artwork... i actually find it hard to believe this is Matt's work.... he's a tremendous artist but he completely failed this one...
