That was foreseeable.

That was foreseeable.

They don't want to do 2 & 3... fine, but I just hope that it's only because they're taking on a better project. If it's not, then it's going to be a huge FAIL.

They should’ve just done the trilogy in one Steelbook

not hard to find better movies than 2 & 3

Ouch Well played sir.

Seems like these are still available. Strongly considering getting a copy of this, still not sure which one but leaning towards lenti...
I, for one, am glad they're not doing the sequels. I like to pretend this is a standalone movie as well.

My luck:

Received my lenti copy earlier. Great depth to it, I just wish the Eiffel tower was a little more defined.

(more used to seeing those infamous sparks/flying embers on steelbooks and maybe not too surprised they've spread like a rash onto slips)

Not forgetting the pretty back . . .

. . . and the v. smart steelbook itself:-

That photo does the edition no favours though. There's no focus.
Moon's and pbtour4il's photos are a better representation.

Got mine today, got to say it doesn't feel very premium this release (no texture on the back of the slip, very light weight Steelbook, not a great photo book). Still great film.

Was however looking forward to having these two side by side

Got mine today and got hit by an £11 customs charge - and THEN I find that the lenti is a piece of crap . I am not best pleased.

Can I send it back?!

 

[psychoscot]

I don't go by reviews for films

You may see good reviews and not like a film and see bad reviews but like a film

The review that counts is you watching a film and making you own decision not what others think

If you go by film reviews to decide if you goto the cinema or if you purchase a Blu-ray release you might end up missing out on a film you would like and enjoy a lot

I have seen some films that get massive praise over the years but I then wondered have I purchased the wrong film

Yeah I got a customs charge too mate, first time in over 3 years. They have obviously looked online to find the price as Nova had put the title on the info

What?! So the Lenti is sh!t then? Looking at tommy's pic below, it doesn't appear to quite live up to The Grey Lenti which I personally love. Now THAT is one super crisp Lenti

The lenti is fine. Maybe not top 10 for them but it's not **** either.

Yeah it's not great, just one of the reasons the whole release is a bit meh

 

[tha_lunatic]

got my lenti and 1/4 slip today
lenti isnt that good and no embossing elements on the back. the title on the 1/4 is embossed.

Sorry but you don't know what you're talking about. The lenti is easily the worst Nova one I've ever seen, and must be a genuine candidate for the worst lenti ever. Liam Neeson is completely flat, the background is a blurry mess and the Eiffel Tower slides comically along the background. The only bit they got right was the generic flames in the foreground...

In all seriousness, would we have any grounds to return a premium steelbook if the quality is bad enough? If the answer is no then that's fine, I won't throw my toys out the pram. It'd just be nice to know where we stand in situations like this.

Liam Neeson is completely flat

His hand holding the gun is clearly further away from me than his torso.
