You all have to remember that Manta's been back and forth to the studio with different variations over the years, who apparently kept rejecting their designs. Had they not been so strict, then I'm sure ML could've delivered something much better than what they have done here. That being said, I'm fairly happy with them all... think I've settled on the DL though, because being able to afford the OC is looking very unlikely at the moment.

The double lenti is the OG artwork. Looks best to me

 

[Flloydo]

Yea I think the double lenti is the winner here

 

[Mickle_89]

All this floating head talk, I thought I was in an FAC thread I'm pretty settled on that DL anyway, looks the best to me

Something for every fan with the slips working well with previous releases too (even the title treatments)...

... and that OC box is in a class apart.

The one click box is actually very similar to a French blu ray release from years ago

Yeah I’m pretty sure there was a Spanish release like that as well. Not exactly the same but similar.

 

[Actarus]

Well I'll say it again, but I am very Happy with how it ended up

Zavvi's steelbook art is better then all of these in my opinion. I was intrested in this now ive seen the end product I'll pass on this 1 the 1 click box is cool tho

 

[djjez83]

Thanks to @jonnybobbytimmy all I can see now when I look at the SL is

So congratulations @jonnybobbytimmy take a bow as you have successfully burned in the image of the “Travolta Gif” into all us ninja’s brain

Tough choice picking out a slip on this one as there is way to many floaters in this BS for my liking including the steelbook which has like a “mini hydra floater” but feel like credit where credit is due as Manta Lab have been working hard on this for three years and never gave up! So huge Kudos points to Manta in that regard While not perfect and after what I can imagine an exhausting amount of submission to the studio what we have here is what is the best possible outcome taking the good and the bad for an overall great product.

Personally I’m going for the FS as for one the white artwork to go into my stack of outstanding Manta White Full Slip Collection. Secondarily it has the correct! SE7EN title like the SL. Thirdly it is tied with the SL with the least amount of floaters. Favourite piece of artwork is actually on the rear of the steelbook with the 7 collage oh and that OC box is sublime well done Manta Lab top effort you should be very proud that this has come to fruition

 

[DMD4k]

Agreed, except for the title part.

I was hoping they'd use the artwork from the US steelbook for the full slip:



With the usual brilliant Manta finish, it could have made for an amazing slip. Just think about it: each word carefully embossed on a matte background. Kinda like the binary code on the "Her" FS from KimchiDVD.

Nevertheless and despite the somewhat overused "white image", my pick will most likely be the FS. The SL looked best from the get-go, but Freeman's pose is akward and I can't deny the fact @jonnybobbytimmy and his .gif contributed to a certain degree in my change of opinion on the SL. The DL ... Idk ... it could turn out to be the best of the bunch, but it's hard to imagine the images work all too well for lentis.

Looks great, but may wait for the inevitable 4k release by somebody if they decide to re-master it.

I am sure I am not the only one, but I am not buying this release for the Disk. It's for the Premium Packages.
Once 4K UHD Released will buy the amary and insert it into the steelbook, as many other will do surely

 

[Lone Crusader]

Opted for the FS.

 

[ChrisPatt]

I know mate just not keen on the images and don't think they will make very good lenti effects. There doesn't appear too be much too them they are quite But HEY! That's just my opinion.

 

[yeslek]

usually a DL fan but much prefer the SL here
