Any word on if this includes the black and white version (besides turning down the colour on your TV, of course)? Also hoping this is placeholder artwork.

 

[Flloydo]

No thanks. Rubbish art

 

[BluSteel2012]

Reminds me of the old Sherlock Holmes steelbook...

Got few Oscar noms. I did not find this anything special. Quality film, but ... Not interest to see again anytime soon. Very boring art ...

 

[BluSteel2012]

It bombed at the cinemas....

Hmmmm, or Public Enemies (FS)

Others feel it reminds them of There Will Be Blood. That isn't placeholder art. Best Buy US has the same art.

I wonder if this time somebody else has a 4K exclusive the way Zavvi did for The Last Duel.

Trailer don’t do anything for me tbh. Another one I’ll watch in 4 years time when I’m slobbing out on the sofa and can’t be f**ked to move and I’m forced to watch it on channel 4 because I’m even too lazy to look for the remote....... With adverts

Here's the Best Buy package. Thanks to Viking61

God, I'm so behind with films... never even heard of this

I love Del Toro, but probably won't watch this again. The set design, costumes, cinematography all top notch. I just didn't like the feeling of the movie, and I guessed the ending about 60% through the movie so that took a bit of the fun out of it.

 

[manonfire]

I saw the ending coming a mile away. A fun ride but a one time watch.

 

[Stygian]

Yeah I know I posted this elsewhere a couple of times but it seems like Disney is giving up on Fox titles in 4K in the UK.

I guess West Side Story is the next test. I wonder how many new or recent Fox films Disney has left to release.

Okay so I kinda take back my previous comment. Although I still watched it slobbed out on my sofa! Turns out this is on Disney+ so I gave it a go and tbh I enjoyed it. Was not what I was expecting. Was more grounded than some of his recent films with the neo noir drama element and not relying so heavily on CGI, also like the shape of water. Last half hour goes turbo and the violence reminded me of pans labyrinth. Set design and the colour palette was amazing. Cast are great too.
The steel art still looks sh!t tho

 

[Space Cadet]

jeez.

Was really into this until Cate Blanchett's character was introduced... thought it started to lose its way and feel like it dragged after that point. Picked up a bit towards the end thankfully and Cooper was great, so I may consider this if/when it drops in price.
