Yea! It seems that for great films they don’t put any effort on the art and finished knowing they will sell as opposite of crappy films that they get awesome art n glossy embossing knowing collectors will buy them just coz the Steelbook,

THIS!!

All the time......

It's not often I regret passing on a pre-order nowadays, but this is definitely one of those times that I do! Ended up really enjoying the film, and the steel is a winner IMO.

I'm not interested in 4K anyway bud. What's a reference quality disc?

reference quality is something you'd show off when trying to impress, refer to, and / or show off the capabilities of a format etc. Back in the days when Blu-ray was first coming out many considered Speed Racer as reference quality by example for its amazing 1080p visuals (as we all know now damn near almost all animation looks amazing in HD) and its sound.

In the case of this film it has Dolby Atmos and Dolby Vision (if not on all 4k, at least the USA one that I know) and the night scenes etc. looked super thick and dark without taking away light from the purposed center points of the shots etc.

Where did you hear this? The Italian steelbook has 4K

 

[Flloydo]

Like I said, this has hugely grown on me. Very smooth matte like a satin finish with spot glossing.

I do wish the rest of the blood parachutes and title were spot glossed though. For simplicity with effect I think the art achieves that 100%

Ohh gotcha! I know stores use that as a selling technique, but just never knew it had an actual name lol. Funny you should mention Speed Racer, as that's actually what eventually sold me on Blu-ray back in the day.

 

[karl01]

As any UK members seen this in HMV yet?

 

[BDDB]

Really happy with this one, good film + good steelbook, a rare thing in this day and age (excluding premiums of course).

hey bud do you have a prototype of yours for this steelbook? love your designs

 

[Strangerbyday]

One of the few times I've actually regretted not sticking an order in for the steelbook. The regular 4K showed up today & its just making me pine for the steelbook.
Doubt it'll ever come back in stock unless there's more stock gotten from HMV or something.

Nah, I never did a concept for this one dude... might give it a go at some point though

So, because I’m thick, reference quality is a good thing and not bad?

 

[Scrubbedup]

Reference is best of the best mate. It’s the disc you use you show off your setup.
