Front looks fine ... back & inside = bit disappointing.

With more than a touch of the style of the classic Grzegorz Domaradzki poster (sans purple):-

Regarding for the slightly psychedelic colour palette: seems like nothing more or less than a variation of the thermal vision colours from the film - as seen in this famous design by world-famous artist Anthony Petrie ... and in the posters for the 30th Anniversary cinema re-release last year:-

Apart from the colourful images of Predator's infrared vision we all know that the film is a mass of greens, browns and greys so a bit of colour should be welcome on the steelbook ... especially considering the basic colours of the 2 we've already had here in the UK:-

Don't see any PURPLE

That back cover is hilariously bad

The whole thing is bizarre if you ask me. An iconic Alien Sci-fi film and all they can come up with for the inside art is the helicopter that drops them off (which is in the film for all of 2 mins at the most!!! )

Just shockingly sh1t!

surely they not gonna try bagging 25 rubs for what should be 18 max 4k or not,
im shore many will be excited as its predator but honestly this is just scrapping the barrel as it wont be true 4k,

Is the green stuff running down the Predators hand and leg supposed to be blood or part of the 'art'?

Because he never had blood on his arm. The wound was in his leg If it's not blood, it just looks odd.

I think they might have coloured part of the grey tree behind him (between his hand and his thigh) the same colour as the Predator by accident!

It's real 4K on iTunes, hopefully they'll add HDR and Atmos for the disc release.

It's real 4K. Given there's no DNR, this should look fantastic!

Liking the artwork. Hope they do a reissue of Predators with something similar and a 4K disc.

Need to wait for free shipping to be added again

It's real 4K on iTunes, hopefully they'll add HDR and Atmos for the disc release.

I'm assuming the blu-ray will still be the dire DNR's disaster. I'm hoping the 4k disc is the 1st ever proper HD pressing of the film.

I think you're right . Yet another reason not to buy this shocking steelbook

 

[Grendel]

Hideous.
I'll be getting the Triple pack Steel.

I know what u mean they done that with the grease 4k steelbook, also kept coming back into stock but now has been completely gone for past month. Think these will be to popular like black panther hasn't come back into stock.

Lesson 1
Black Panther = Marvel = sell out not matter what, it won't come back in stock

Lesson 2
Anything else and Zavvi will sit on copies for a few months then sell at a cheaper price. The "Zavvi Rule = not selling well then put sold out" or send you emails saying few left which = TONS left and will be in stock for years!

While I can't attack the company for art which is 95% of the time nothing to to do with them, I can attack them on their selling tactics, which they have been called out on time and again for lying.

If its Marvel/Disney/Lucasfilm then pre-order as the chances of restocks are limited "usually" anything else wait for release then buy cheaper.

All eyes may be on Arnie and his viole/n/t friend … but he's holding his head high and not bothered in the slightest:-

Oh man this front and back cover soooo ****** up! So, is the 2d disc a new scan - or the same old one?

 

[Lollard2002]

I think a lot of people me included are hoping the 4k one is the "right" one I don't hold any hope of the blu-ray being any good.
