I will double dip for this! I have art work cards that I got from the cameo cinema in Edinburgh when it came out, this cover was one of them.

 

[smokinace]

Will definitely not pick up

 

[rodtp]

I like the artwork, I'm glad it isn't a cliche one.

 

[aufdringlich]

Well, i love the artwork, but what the hell happened with the inside work? Natalie Portman's face is basically cut by the spine... are you joking me? that makes no sense. I mean, cut everyone else faces, but not Natalie Portman...

 

[Snollygoster]

Love the artwork, But not sure if the film is my cup of tea.

 

[jetthead]

Put me in the "Love it!" camp. Will be ordering this and Independence Day from this wave.

 

[Necroscope]

Aaawwww, daaaaaaamn, boooiiiii!

Holy crap. That cover is so good, it made me go ghetto...

 

[White Rat]

Big PASS for me. I can't afford all these new steels anyways. Gonna have to pick and choose carefully.

Not really a fan of the movie, but that is one beautiful Steelbook.

 

[shejon01]

Love the design. The movies not for me so ill pass, but for fans of the film it looks like they'll get a beauty.

Me, I'll just have to stick to googling any scenes with Mila Kunis and Natalie Portman.

 

[alvinhwang21]

not a fan of this movie one bit, but o my lord... the art front and back is like when you meet a beautiful women and cant stop

 

[Cookster1]

Enjoyed this film,but don't think I would watch it again......so I will pass,but nice steelbook

 

[vilhelm42]

That is a lovely cover! I've never seen the movie and will pre order as soon as it's up.

Fantastic artwork - loved this at the cinema, still haven't picked up the BR, so this is a must buy for me!

Exactly. Still, I like the steelbook (and the film) and will get a copy.

"Dislike artwork. Check order link."

LOL that's us steelbook collectors in a nutshell!

I'll still buy it - this is one of the most interesting movies, I love the entire tone and Portman is at her best!

On complaints about the Zavvi 14.99 pricing, great that play.com used to be cheaper, but it was clearly not sustainable as they no longer exist

Surely the higher price is worth paying if it means a sustainable UK steelbook market?

Absolutely agree!

Although I'm not a fan of the artwork, to those of you who said it doesn't make sense - it does make sense. It fits in with Aronofsky's style and with the themes of the movie, just design wise, it isn't to my tastes. Also, that inside art is really disappointing, there are some GREAT scenes to choose from - what about Natalie Portman losing it?!

True that, but then again I'm probably hating the artwork a lot less than most of the comments on here. Agree that the inside artwork could've been better though. How about another HDN vote for artwork?

Though the back artwork does remind me of the Rebel crest from Star Wars...Must be my geek mode acting up again.

The outside art work reminds me of a movie that was made in the 70's. If they wanted the same look they should have went with this image. It's so much better.

Spoiler

The inside art work is terrible. You can't even see Natalie Portman because her face will be in the spine. Who wants to see a bunch of anorexic extras from the movie? If they would have went with this inside art they would have sold every copy even if the outside was blank.

I know I am dreaming but still anything but what they picked.

 

[alvinhwang21]

agreed, both pics

I'm not sure that inside art would work due to the spine being right down the centre. But I agree they should have made both Natalie & Mila feature prominently in it.
