Last time I checked this was a war film, so I think the colours suit the content perfectly. If you want happy and bright go and buy a Pixar film :thumbs:

By golly your right, it is a war film! How silly of me, how can I forgot that everything Inc the forest, sky, rivers and even the blood was a dull grey colour ;)

Also received notification from Amazon of a postponement of the release date to April 2. But then it would have to be as the 1st is a Bank Holiday. Beats me how some guys are already having their orders shipped though...
 
I decided to cancel my order. It's a nice steelbook, but the dull finish really puts me off. If it had been glossy then it would be really nice.
Just keeping my order for Predator 2, as I already have the steel for Predator so hopefully 2 will have a similar finish (semi-glossy)

After some thought iv decided to do the same. The Platoon steel is just uninspiring. And heres hoping the Predator 2 Steel has a bit of gloss on it.
 
came today..from Amazon UK

its not a bad steel...debossed with a matte finish..
sorry about the dodgy pics:scat:

Nah, cancelled my pre-order for this as well as Silence of the Lambs and Edward Scissorhands. Not too impressed with the majority of this wave so far.
 
so its not grey like the other pic...its silver?

I actually like the darker pic than that more tbh. Still think its a poor steel


I hate to be 'that guy' but seriously this film means so much to me. I have a massive obsession with the Vietnam war, this film is what started it off. I've had just about every release of this film ON vID, dvd etc etc, I bought the Platoon DVD steelbook on ebay years ago when it was near impossible to find and frankly I think this pisses all over this release and that wasnt the greatest either.

I'm out of the Steel game now but I still have to hold off from ordering some...this is not one of them. I think its one of the weakest steels I've ever seen and embossing doesnt make up for it whatsoever...had I been in the game still I would have ordered just for the obsessive nature but I wouldnt have liked it at all. I'd rather have a nice steel generally than a boring and unisnspired one with embossing.

To me its a crime they have released such a poor steel for such a magnificent triumph of cinematic history.

Just wasn't fussed about this in the end so I cancelled. It's not bad but I just feel indifferent to it so will pick up the amaray at some point.
