I may go for E2 depending on what the final slip quality is like (not too impressed so far by the pics). As I'll be trying for the Manta one/s when their pre-order arrives. Although I'll probably go through the GB again, same as MoS.
 
Finally saw the movie yesterday. It reminds me of "Dances with Wolves".
While quite entertaining, I don't think its that kind of movies that you'd rewatch several times.
So unless the package is unique, I'll skip this one (or even the Manta Lab version).
 
Odd that FilmArena has two of its weakest releases in a row with Independence Day and The Revenant. :( (and their new unnumbered Sicario isn't all that great either imo)

Both share the same characteristic flaw: they don't represent the film— full slip of ID4 feels like Will Smith is in a WW2 movie, and The Revenant is all about close-ups on Leo and Tom's faces (that feel more like production stills) when there's so much cool imagery to the film- which MantaLab makes great use of.

That being said I held off on buying any Revenant version until now and I'll probably get the FAC Leo one :D- on top of one MantaLab version obviously :) (the leather edition better be sold individually).
 
In fairness, even the official main poster is basically just a close-up of DiCaprio's face, I think these ones at least paint a better idea of the film than that one, if nothing else.
 
I think to be fair to FAC I see what they are going for here. I like the idea of protagonist vs antagonist slips. I personally think these are being slightly underrated.
