yeah, total mismatch of artwork and the actual movie... horrible

Yeah, I was thinking the slip didn't suit the steelbook or the tone of the film. Its all a bit strange......

 

[samdavies]

Strut card art should have been the front of the slip, poster art should have been rear of the slip. As it stands that slip artwork is a bit crap imo and doesn't suit the film whatsoever. Shame, at that price, with a decent slip, I'd certainly have bought it.

Slipcover artwork is horrendous

 

[Strangerbyday]

Admittedly I've never bought any of these guys releases because I've not liked the look of any of em but...

Like...did someone just see the poster for The Vast of Night & think "yeah, I'll stick Elizabeth Moss & a blank orange dude over those people & that'll do?"

 

[samdavies]

ETB's only worthwhile release is The World's End Lenti, Hot Fuzz Fullslip at a push. Subjective opinion of course, but I think it's a fair one. I can't be dealing with all these dressed up crap Universal WWA steels. The steel artworks are usually abysmal, granted through no fault of their own, but they're not at FAC's level. I think they need to accept it and make some changes.

Very... sci-fi choice of slip there... Also as a heads up for anyone who would be unsealing, if you don't like the design of the steelbook, the finish is quite poor also (assuming it's the same as the one already out). It's noticeably streaky on the dark blue and the colours aren't particularly great. The cream colour would've worked much better as a bright white or something. Only picked it up because it was cheaper than the 4k amaray

Agreed, the steel sucks. Design is a bit arty, but reasonable. If the cream had been white and it'd been a glossy finish, I think it'd been pretty decent overall. Certainly enough to pay zavvi 20quid for it anyway.

Ah. Good to know. As I was wondering.

 

[St4rlord]

I think this design is actually more accurate

But there's no pi ... oooh now I get it. You clever ! Me a bit sloooow !

I’m kinda disappointed in that slip art. It gives me Doctor Who Sci-Fi vibes, which as has already been said just doesn’t match the film at all.

I was really hoping EB would knock this out the park after bigging up their “things to come,” but I’m afraid no glorious finish can improve that art.

Oh good, they’re including a poster and a strut card to keep the price up.... yay.

straight into the trash can, where it 100% belongs

 

[BluSteel2012]

It DOES say artwork TBC. What's the chances of them changing it......?

Yeah, I think I will too. I haven't opened it yet because I was sure this would beat it. But this is a big let down for me.

 

[BluSteel2012]

Here's a better pic of the slip.......

The more I look at it the worse it gets! The title on the front looks ridiculous. Way too small and a different colour compared to the spine.
