I think it looks stunning. I'm a bit surprised by the slight negativity because a few weeks back we thought it might be the end of Steelbooks in the UK.
We are very lucky to get this if you ask me, it could have been an amaray without a slipcover.

Couldnt agree more! I was expecting a cover with the tigers face which would of been cool but as ive stated elsewhere this was the best visual part of the film and looks superb. I was considering selling off some of my colelction today as its getting to be a pain with all of the non spotless steelbooks around but how can i turn that down!

By the look of the cover you can tell that it is lenticular (look at all the vertical lines...).

Yes it looks like it but it could also just be debossed/embossed.

A bit disappointed about the artwork. The scene in the movie with the whale is beautiful but it isn't a representative image. Something with Richard Parker would have been more suitable.

Yes, I have to agree there. The moment with the whale in the movie is so brief that it seems a misrepresentation to have it as a signature image. I'm not keen on the very large title being overlaid over the head of the whale either.

On the plus side it will be nice to have the first lenticular cover release for the UK, and hopefully there will be releases in other countries with alternative artwork - preferably focusing on the real star of the movie - Richard Parker

Looks ok, and like it will have a Lenticular magnet thing again...not really a huge fan of those

Me neither DB... they look a bit tacky IMO. I'd prefer a nice glossy finish so that the colours are really vibrant.

Well nice looking Steel, blind buy for me and i am really pleased it will include the 3D disc.

 

[jitstark]

3D and lenticular magnet. Don't mind if I do.

 

[Sigill]

I think the artwork looks great, I hope it is the UK's first lenticular steelbook!

I only see Lincoln and Zero Dark Thirty as 2 other possibilities to come out on steel.

Never saw this at the flicks so price dependant I may have to pick this up

 

[BluSteel2012]

This looks like it will be really nice. Haven't seen the film so will have to be reasonably priced for me.

 

[pOx]

Awesome ! Great steelbook for great movie

 

[Apinamakina]

Terrible artwork in my opinion.

 

[Wreck]

I like it, looks graet ... but thought the tiger would be pictured.... perhaps in another Country.

 

[adrenaline78]

w00t. Would still like to get that Thailand one, but this one will have to do.

 

[Drum18]

Love the debossing, but not the artwork and the damn 3D... will hope for a "better" release elsewhere...

 

[Man of Steel]

I don't mind the "3D" but then again, I have got a 3D TV.

 

[Frasr]

hmm, I think this will probably cost quite a lot.

remember Prometheus 3D (also Fox) was £23.99 for the steelbook, and if this is debossed/lenticular it may cost even more?

 

[lgans316]

So here we go debating about cost when we are ready to pay double or triple the price for the exactly the same Steelbook sold in the Asian market or pay 30 EUR + shipping for the MediaMarket ones with German text and printed back.

Having said that, I am hoping this one to be priced under 20 quid.
