great movie but today i got my copy and i dont like the steel...it is just to ..i dont know...lol
Come on, make a meaningful contribution to the topic and figure out what you don't like about it. I think it's nice enough myself.
There we go, that wasn't too hard. Personally I think the steelbook very much suits the film in question. Could it have been better? Probably. A bit flashier and more effective? Sure. But the simple nature of the design isn't at all at odds with the film. And I wouldn't call it ugly. It has a bleak-vibe to it... but then the film itself is as bleak as a film can get. Not every steelbook can hit it out of the park - think you're being a touch harsh.
The artwork perfectly sets the isolation, loneliness and bleakness of these two. As said above it suits the film to the ground.
Ahh, didn't mean to cause offence. The Road is one of my favourite films and I'm a fan of the design of the steelbook. Now I don't mind it when folks don't have the exact same opinion that I hold... but I genuinely just wanted a bit more from tono06 there as I thought his post was rather vague really, you know? If he'd have said that he thought the steelbook was ugly and simple straight off the bat I wouldn't have responded in such a way. My apologies, guys, if I came across a little or quite a lot patronising. (still getting to grips with this whole forum thingy)

dont worry Dan, i dont take things personally and i did not think you offended me or anything....sometimes i'm too lazy to write lol
I can be like that a lot of the time too - so I don't know why I made such a fuss over it. Heh. Sigh.
I think the steelbook fits the movie perfectly. One of my favorite movies as post-apocalyptic and disaster movies are my favorite type of movies.It's a bleak look into a post-apocalyptic setting, it's not suppose to be enlightening. A good movie to boot though. I thoroughly enjoyed it.
Sold out now, one of my favourite films, brilliant Music by Nick Cave and Warren Ellis and an underrated but beautiful (in my opinion at least) steelbook!
yep, totally agree with Lutzo on this. Steelbook art certainly suited the movie, bleak, desolate and sombre. Also, I strongly recommend checking out the book

Exactly this.
