Lovely, lovely Steelbook....the photos really don't do it justice.

Incidentally, mine arrived damage free inside a cardboard mailer.

My copy was waiting for me at home
I think this is one of the fastest deliveries I've had from Zavvi as I generally get them a day later than anyone down south.

This is a really great steelbook in hand. The gloss finish with metallic stars is stunning
It's hard to capture using a phone camera, but I've tried to show the detail here:

Fair dues. But you're still wrong on your assessment of UTS.
You need to watch it again...

( )

Having seen it once, unfortunately I cannot claim those hours back. No chance of a re-watch on this for me mon ami.

If someone could confirm region coding for me that would be greatly appreciated. I know it states Region B only on the back of the J-card, but it wouldnt be the first time that StudioCanel has labeled a blu-ray as region B locked when it actually wasnt.
Thanks in advance!

It looks beautiful. If this one arrives damaged, I'm going to be pissed!

Just tried it on my region A player and its locked to B I'm afraid.

It has arrived, but back to to the tissue paper wrapping, or am I doing an injustice to tissue paper?

Spoiler

it's so typical that I've recently received three steelbooks below £10 each in bubble wrap and this comes in foam as thin as skin

This one really comes to life when you take the shrinkwrap off - at first I thought it looked dull and was underwhelmed but upon opening it you can see the true beauty of it. So those collectors who don't open are missing out big time.

Looks nice, simplistic, a little minimal which is no bad thing, but..... 25 QUID!!!! The amaray is only £12.99 after all.

A rip of would be those spending £40 on Zavvis Thor 2 with a 50p slip and 99p booklet with a Kimchi badge

Now, do I break my Zavvi resistance since V for Vendetta.

Not seen the movie so very worried about shelling out on £25!
Decisions....

This movie is like Marmite, you either love it or you hate it - if possible I'd watch it first.

This movie is like Marmite, you either love it or you hate it - if possible I'd watch it first.

I think the best thing to do is watch it in the next few weeks and then if I like it, use eBay or keep an eye out for a open copy on the trade forums

As nice as that steelbook looks (it is absolutely gorgeous), there's no way I'm paying £24.99. They must be selling at some mark up even if it is limited to 2000.

My Zavvi resistance remains intact as this was bought for me as a present

was the present asked for ?

 

[Terranoob]

Mine arrived slightly damaged, scratch on the back and a ding in the top right hand corner. Gonna complain to Zavvi and recommend for that price they send my replacement in the parcel box and not an A1 mailer.

 

[psychoscot]

was the present asked for ?

lol Yes, but since I didn't pay technically my boycott is still safe!

Thought I'd chime in with my thoughts on the film after just watching it for the first time...

I can easily see why some would dislike Under the Skin. I admit that even I have to be in the right mood for these types of films, otherwise I just find them extremely dull.

While it wasn't a "fun" watch, I found it to be very mesmerising and beautifully shot. The score was perfect too. And as for Scarlett... incredible!

I think it definitely needs multiple viewings before I fully understand it though. Overall, this is one blind-buy I wasn't at all disappointed with.

HAHAHA nah calling it !!!

...love Scarlett, I think she is one of the most beautiful woman on earth, no make up and she is drop dead gorgeous, no matter what the lighting is, interviews, no make up, bad lighting, paparatzi etc... she is just so beautiful
