Not gonna lie, they cooked with this.

 

[K1SK1S]

Backs of the Lentis will make or break this release for me. A decent effort but the OC box is the highlight.

 

[samdavies]

Back of lenti B is a flip lenti

Prob just changes to him older I’m guessing

Yep. That's what I'm guessing. Probably like a 3 stage lenti, going up in age. That partially saves it for me, but the back of dla, there's just nothing good going for it. Terrible shot.

I think it goes well with the front

 

[samdavies]

Maybe this is a mistake but the info on collectong website says 1 disc 4k only. No blu.

No, I think that's probably right. None of their other listings have a setup like that, so it's not a case of copy and paste, they've specifically done it. Paramount have gone 4K only in many regions now, so it doesn't surprise me.

 

[samdavies]

I think it goes well with the front

Really? It's just a murky bizzare shot to me. Almost any other basic still would've worked better imo.

 

[JGCramp]

Full slip looks absolutely awful and not wowed by lenti B

Lenti A is prob the best and the steel is okay. One click box looks great tho no surprise

I pretty much agree with you. I like the front of DL-B a lot, but hate the back. The front of DL-A is good; the back looks like it’s maybe okay enough.

That steelbook could come out really great, or could end up looking awful in hand. But agree with some others that I’m not a fan of the added “The Story of a Lifetime.”

 

[Flloydo]

Yeah I like that he’s watching him awake on the front and sleeping on the back. Quite touching

I think it’s safe to say both the back lentis aren’t great. And as mentioned although the OG poster looks great, it’s a weird angle for a lenti and lighter in colour and the front of A is a much clearer defined and more colourful choice so my choice for this release will be based on the front lenti that should work best because the full slip is a massive no from me

I don't disagree with you there, neither back is great. I prefer the og art, but the angle isn't quite right. The front of dla will be more defined, but the back isn't working for me. The FS, well... yeah I absolutely LOVE a PET release, but damn it's ugly!

 

[Betonos Le Truel]

OC for me. Was waiting for this since ages. DL B is clear winner. And box is great.

 

[djjez83]

agree with others about doube lenti A. I think that one will turn out best and have the best lenti depth due to the colours and artwork but my fav artwork remains the double B lenti front. Need to see both in hand to decide which is the winner. I could happily own either lenti.

 

[Bungral]

Think if I go on this it’ll be DL-B. Prefer the front and while the back isn’t great, maybe the flip can save it.

 

[Bungral]

Also, haven’t watched this in like 20 years so might give it a rewatch tonight

 

[snow flake]

The back art on all are a let down. Not yet sold on any art so will wait till the day and decide

 

[dakowski86]

So in the description up top this page every single slip info is wrong based on the website. No spot foil in oc or FS. DLA is 2 lenticulars. DLB is front lenti and back flip lenti. If I could edit it myself I would and I'm all for copy pasta but come on. If it's a "simple mistake" and I should get over it, nah. If someone messes up they need to be informed otherwise it will keep happening and if incorrect info is the gold standard now so no one gets feelings hurt then keep on keepin on.

He was actually keeping a time limit on how long it took to get corrected. That’s a new level of sad. Who cares, check the manta site

Ouch. Wasn't keeping a time limit or had my stopwatch out. Just an observation. Shouldn't mistakes be pointed out or should we all have a who cares attitude? We all know people love to call out other people here for inaccuracies. Especially Paul and Sam. I've never noticed you to care though. No offense intended either.
