[Real Steel]

Not really liking any of these, to be honest. B is probably the best of the set but something about it seems off. While I understand the usage of the jigsaw puzzle pieces and their meaning, it just doesn't work for me across the whole steel. Too busy, I guess?

It reminds me a bit of this poster, just with puzzle pieces instead of Polaroids and (imo) not as clean:

The Polaroids cover looks better and more relevant.

 

[TobinFrost]

Type B of course

 

[earthscope]

I actually really like Artwork B, so voted for that....

 

[Sigill]

I think A looks decent but I'm voting for B as it's the most original, it looks pretty good too.

 

[Civer]

Wow. In my opinion they are all terrible.

 

[CaptainCoffee]

B is the best.

 

[rj531]

voted for Type B..hopefully it's white..but the other artworks from our ninjas here esp the one with polaroids in all shiny black background will be awesome.

 

[axldelarge]

I really think i belong to another planet, but B option looks like a poor photoshop class exercise to me. It's cheap, crowded and also conceptually wrong… and i'm pretty sure the finish will make it much more messy...

Option C is a sort of a try… but not enough…

Option A it's the best imo, it's the cleanest, but obviously nothing exciting…

I'll think about it again, later, but i'm not impressed at at all

 

[UZO]

Option A is the best of the worst IMO.

 

[XXHAPPY GILMORE]

WOW, C is the worst by a mile... The front of A looks good, but B is something totally different and really suits the film... I think B gets my vote

 

[rj531]

will these have the same release as Perfume? KimchiDVD website both indicate Jul 30

 

[Shanester]

Chose B. It's something different although all 3 are pretty subpar

 

[Bunk]

The more I think about it, the more I regret voting for option B.

Snoo and UZO are right, A is the way to go if we have to choose between those three.

B did seem original at first, and if they try to emboss some of the biggest puzzle pieces it could look good (gloss is a no-brainer too, given the price we pay), but I've been looking at it more now and I still do not understand what they're doing to Guy Pearce, he's positioned like he's in a perfume commercial : shirtless, shizzled, arms behind the head and all

I wasn't fully convinced when I voted for B, since I voted B and None of the above (I'm a complex man ).

Option A isn't fantastic either, but the front is quite alright, sometimes it's perhaps best to go with a safer choice than trying something that could look quite ridiculous and off topic, in some way (and a perfume commercial isn't what I look for in a Memento steelbook ).

Option C is just wrong, I won't even spend time writing a few words about it (oh, I just did ).

If I could vote again, I would vote A, but mostly I hope they can include some other art choices (now it's a long shot given how we were all blinded by Option B at first).

With a bigger picture on the back and full gloss, option A could look downright great

 

[berns]

Type B.looks the best but that frame on front should disappear.

 

[stashbr]

Type B, for sure. But without that "polaroid" on the front.

 

[Futurhythm]

Really not feeling any of these. Type A is just generic. Type B and C are interesting concepts, but they're really poorly realised. And the font they've used for "Some memories are best forgotten" - that's just a temp for the mock up right? RIGHT??

 

[ZeroHero]

I went with B.

 

[Last Lizard]

I went with none of the above. After mulling over it some more this morning I'm satisfied with my vote. A is the safe option, but I'd be remiss to think anyone wants something safe when it comes to Kimchi. Kimchi to my mind should afford us something fresh, stylish and slick. Options B and C however, only capture a shade of the freshness...except its the kind of freshness you'd get out of a cheap air freshener that you start to taste in the back of your throat and choke on Both ideas seem underdeveloped and fail to capture the essence of the film. And that's on top of looking like quick muck-abouts that have been uploaded to Deviant Art during someone's lunch break.

Are people really that happy with option B or are they just humbly accepting the best of the worst? I think the film deserves better and we know Kimchi can deliver far beyond this level.

 

[hayemaker]

Type B.looks the best but that frame on front should disappear.

I agree, at the moment it looks like one of those ridiculous Fr4me packages the UK did for Oblivion.

 

[augustus]

I hope they go with a full slip resembling the 2-disc dvd pack:

I'll be voting for B as it's the most original of the three.

I'd also go with thebard, with his suggestion that the medical case file sleeve of the US SE DVD release, be utilised as Kimchi's steelbook full slip. Any chance of putting that suggestion to them?

I also hope that this release will also include the option to watch it in chronological order, as was available on the UK DVD. I like to watch the movie as envisaged by Christopher Nolan then, after a break for refreshments, re-watch it in chronological order. Two different experiences for the same movie!
