I definitely liked the concept of the movie but I felt it dragged on a little at times. Also somewhat far fetched but it made for an entertaining ride. None of the acting performances are worth noting in my opinion. Is it something with replay value? A little I guess. I don't feel like watching it again any time soon but I'll still pick up one of these.

I just watched it last night, and this sums up my feelings about it exactly. I love the look of the steelbook, so I'm going to try to get one still.

I wish I could watch this film before I buy it. I have the French edition but I don't have a region free player.

A region free player is a must you slacker.

Folks, a bunch of posts were moved to the region free Blu-ray player thread. Please kindly keep the posts in this forum focused on the SteelBook.

Thank you for your cooperation and participation.

I think my previous post got buried... What are the dimensions of the Type A? Is that the steelbook inset into an oversized case on the right? If so the discs look out of proportion.

I like the look & the art book, but not sure if I want an oversized that I'll have to shelve in the back room for this release.

I think if you look closely at the photo, the steelbook is inset in the box, with an inch (or maybe two?) around each side. Looks to me like it'll be slightly oversized.

Personally, I don't care about that. It's the most appealing type to me...it's what I'm going to TRY and get

Those are just renderings, not the actual product and yes they do look disproportionate (the discs) but keep in mind the boxset will be big enough to house the steelbook and the other goodies so if you don't have the right space for it, might as well go for either the lenti or full slip or both.

Both full slip and lenti have the same goodies as the boxset except the blueprint and the big book (thanks axldelarge).

I watched the trailer and Im pretty excited right now. BLIND BUY to the MAX. Im Gunna go All-IN on this hotness. My girlfriend thinks I'm crazy. Gunna be up at the ass crack of dawn trying to get my order in. A, B, & C for me. I double up on one, not sure which, so I can open one. Hell yeah. Gunna be so broke

I'm certainly looking forward to missing out on this.

Thanks for the opinions! (you too Jondog21 ) Since joining this site I have done a lot of blind buys for movies I've never seen. The Pianist and Melancholia for example, still waiting for Melancholia to arrive but I enjoyed the Pianist a lot. So far everything has worked out via blind buys

neither the big 150 pages book, they've just that 36 pages booklet

Correct, missed adding it.

 

[axldelarge]

it's ok mate


By the way I'm not particularly in love with the full slip art...
I don't know but I wondered of a different approach (similar to the steelbook art) like a plastic case with a semitransparent texture of snow and cracked ice with UV varnish spots and just the title on it

so i'll try to fight for the lenticular option

Definitely getting type B&C, just not sure about the box set yet. Well I have 48 hours to ponder over the idea

I wonder how heavy type A is? Looks like at least as heavy as the Taiwan 47 Ronin Boxset.

I would say heavier as the book looks like it is hard cover, not paperback like 47 Ronin.

Edit: just double checked the picture and it doesn't look like a hardcover. Still think it will be heavier though.

 

[blu-steel]

That's cool. I guess Type A is the one I will open then. Hopefully its a cool book with lots of art.

It doesn't look like hard cover in the mockup.

It does look cool and if I do decide to get Type A, it to will be the only one I would open.

 

[frankfish44]

Gonna be going for the lenticular as always. Hoping the image will be crisp, sharp and lively
