" gloss on both the stars and spaceship. "

UK - Close Encounters of the Third Kind

2 questions:

1) So is the spaceship truly glossy? Zavvi still saying it is :S
2) Which version of the movie is this? Zavvi doesn't say :S :S

 

[kingkarl1967]

Space ship not glossy and the rear of the J card states all 3 versions on disc.

 

[Researcher]

Nice artwork, but the finish on the steelbook is a disappointment. Embossed title suits me fine, but the dull blue finish? Meh!

I can confirm that it contains 3 versions of the movie. It is the first disc from the 2-disc 30th Anniversay set, but with different disc art.

However, mine has arrived DAMAGED! Nice big dent in the top left corner, with the front cover coming away from the plastic innards. Also, another dent along the top front! Will be returning to Zavvi...

The strange thing with this one is that the front and back are matte but the top, bottom and opening edges are glossy, same with Taxi Driver.

Got mine today from Zavvi & it looks much better in the hand than in pictures. Flawless copy as well no blemishes whatsoever.

The combo finish suits the title very well thanks to everyone @ Zavvi who pushed for this title

 

[GinjaNinja18]

Really nice steel, welcome addition having never owned the movie!

 

[vurt]

Got mine today and really like it. Inside artwork could have been much better though, apart from that it's a real nice steel.

 

[lolwut]

Really disappointed at the matte finish. This steel would've been perfect for a high gloss finish.

 

[lgans316]

Received today. Below average looking Steelbook. Struggling to spot the gloss on the stars and spaceship. Will return this for a refund and stick with the collectors edition.

Received mine yesterday and have to say I'm not that impressed with it. The picture on the front almost looks blurry, contemplating sending it back if I can and get this digi pack people keep talking about! Which is a shame as I love this movie and haven't seen it in years

digipack

edit: it's not confirmed being region free, but it was released the same day as the us-version.. and why should they produce a completely different pack for the same area?
i'm 99% sure it's the same as the US.
