I rewatched all the movies recently, but I’m still not sure what that is on the back.

It's the tracker they put inside Neo

 

[Behold]

This whole release feels like a bit of a mess. That tracker on the back just screams “Hey, this is something from this film…?!”

Not very cohesive, a bit desperate, and the whole magnets situation is just very messy.

I think they dropped the ball on this and made it far more complicated than it needed to be.

I’ve liked a few of their previous releases but if the Oracle were real, she’d tell TOC that this release is just not the one. Sorry kid.

Still the best looking front artwork of any of the current steels imo.

I don’t disagree, I like the front art of the steel.

As a package however, just not doing it for me.

This titans of cult release has a removable Jcard on the back of the slipbox

The sooner TOC do away with the crappy flimsy fullslips the better, especially at £35.00 a time...
These aren't premium releases, they're novelty releases with crappy extras thrown in that are neither use nor ornament...
The steelbooks may be decent but nothing else about these editions is...

 

[leelee17]

Please don’t balls this one up

It's A Titans Of Cult release, so yes, it's ballsed up from day one.....

 

[Headhunter]

Now that I’ve seen it in hand I actually quite like this as a set although the steelbook itself is a bit bland. It only really works as a set together.

I’ve had two from Amazon now and both had to be sent back thanks to their completely inadequate packaging. I’ve had to roll the dice with Zavvi instead - no idea how they package these but can’t be worse than Amazon.

I actually think this is the best release that they have done (doesn’t say much really) it looks nice in the box from the front, I think only V for Vendetta was close to this.

I still wish this line would just F off, nearly all have been a disappointment in some way.

 

[henry00x]

going to put the 4k discs for all 3 movies in this steel and use it as a 4k trilogy steelbook

This is actually a great idea and one i might actually do myself.

That's how they all are, actually, even those with bad steelbooks. It's an illusion, a lie, that so many gobble up.

Agree about V for Vendetta, but Mad Max 4 was good too.

 

[Gadget]

Personally I wasn’t impressed with this. I’ll see if I can sell it on.

Thanks for sharing these!

Got mine today.
The slip is just meh and the magnet and pin is uberlame and i dont see the point.
But the steelbook is fairly ok. The finish makes the matrix numbers kinda move if you tilt the steelbook, which is nice.

Blade Runner was OK, but none of the others have tempted me to buy. As a package it looks alright, as you say, but open it up and the steelbook itself is so bland and devoid of any quality, and the same goes for the magnet, pin etc. At this point they're relying more on the popularity of the film titles, than the overall quality of the package, to entice people into buying.
