Let me jump on board, I'm also taking the train to Cancellation Town .

Glossy or not, €28 is just too much for a film that will have no replay value to me and I prefer it when I enjoy the films I own in steelbooks .

The first 35 minutes are okay, but that's because by that point it's tolerable to not have a clear idea of what the movie is yet. But it's not normal to still be looking for the start of a coherent story (and not a string of beautifully shot scenes) when the end credits arrive .

The hour that goes by between that first half hour and the "climax" just shows that the guy had one basic idea for the plot, and it all quickly became repetitive when you realize the whole film will be like that until the end. You need more than nice shots and a few very artistic ideas (the black ''floor''-- I don't know what to call it) filmed with a beautiful cinematography to make a film, it's just too superficial, this movie doesn't have much under its skin... naughty: ).

As others have warned, do NOT under any circumstances blind buy this, it could very well bite you in the ass as it almost did for me — unless you don't open your steelbooks and/or buy steelbooks of films you're not interested in, in which case what the hell is wrong with you people? (certainly not your finances )

I am really looking forward to this, I missed the limited run at the cinema (stupid holiday) I just hope it doesn't dissapoint as I may have built it up just a little bit in my head.

Go for it people - we need this title sold out ASAP, to prove to Zavvi that real films need steelbook releases, and not just the usual fodder they normally churn out...

 

[vilhelm42]

Cool, just got a copy. Thanks.

 

[Norwichlad]

£25? no thanks

 

[Naughtius Maximus]

If it sells out again i've got extra copies for the Zavvi GB - 18 in fact I'll be sending them back soon as they arrive as they're bloody expensive on the account!

£25, and sent in an envelope. Zavvi don't set the prices so I guess it's A-Okay!

Mine too.

I'm hoping, if Zavvi have done this one right, that this could be a beauty of a steelbook. But at the same time, I'm fearing, that if done wrongly it could be awful...

Here's hoping the high price-point will make it the former...

Cannot wait!!

I cancelled mine. Really looking forward to watching it, but the amaray was £12 and I don't think I have a black amaray box yet...

Have you not seen the final design? (Courtesy of the Steelbook designer).

It'll look like this and has a gloss finish:
