Glossy and embossed all the way.

+1 It's a gem...And a great film also

My advice is to pick this one up...A collector's piece IMO

 

[RajLondon]

I third that. Unique artwork always bodes well.

I love this Steel also, looking forward to watching the movie for the first time this evening.

Best combo with Act of Valor for a "Modern Warfare" movie night

Very sweet tho!



Just watched this again a few nights ago. I love holding this steelbook...One to play with and wear out and 2 to keep sealed

Seriously tho whoever created the design (along with the look and feel) for this releases should be in charge of more US releases.... Just saying

 

[digitalbabe]

Awesome, Ash!

 

[adrenaline78]

I liked act of valor better than zdt. The movies, not the steels.

 

[GroundZero81]

Didn't get a chance to grab one of these but films like this documentary wise easy pass for me

Hey, that is why we spent all our hard earned cash on these babies so that we can show them off, no?

I agree with you completely - this is one steelbook that needs to be held in bare hands to feel the quality all around. The glossy finish feels like it was given two coats of it.

Hopefully the upcoming US steelbook releases will use this as the benchmark in terms of production quality, packaging, design and value.

After looking through this thread and watching a few YouTube unboxing videos of this steelbook, I'm very interested in this. I haven't seen this movie yet either. I know it was at least Oscar nominated for best picture. I have to be in the 'right' mood to watch war movies though, even though I like many of them.

Is this steelbook worth it for the steelbook alone? I'm sure I'd get around to eventually watching the movie, and I wouldn't be surprised if I liked it, but just curious. Sometimes a steelbook is nice to have just because it's a damn good steelbook.

This is why i own Act of Valor. To me, that movie was total garbage. However, the SB is one of the coolest, and definitely a great one to display along with The Hurt Locker, ZDT and Black Hawk Down. In ZDT's case, both the film itself and the SB are awesome. Honestly, if i were you; i'd jump on this while it can still be had for less than $50 new.

I suspect this one is not getting any attention because it is not a Disney movie or a comic book superhero steelbook. But as mentioned above, it is a high quality SteelBook.

Anyone has a copy with the congo drum effect on the front cover? I have personally felt over 20 copies and never found one where the front cover bounces like the Act of Valor steel.

 

[huggy2k4]

I finally opened my copy today, its been sat on the shelf since the end of march (Region A ) but i decided to open it up and grab some pictures now i just need to get hold of a cheap UK disk to swap over and then watch the film.

 

[townterrier]

Nice pics as ever Huggy....same boat as you!

Had this since March. I have a multi-region player, just don't want to open mine yet........love the fact it is minty fresh.....yeah, I know, weirdo!

 

[huggy2k4]

cheers townterrier, I never got round to getting a multi region player has i was happy with my 3D blu-ray player and PS3. And out of all my steelbooks I got/had from around the globe so far have been region free.

And there's nothing wrong with keeping it sealed, at one point i thought it was abit stupid to keep them sealed but each to ther own but after having afew of mine still sealed and how ther look better in the strink wrap compared to the steelbook sleeve's. I can now see why some members have open & sealed copies of steelbooks.

 

[ash333]

And what you fellas think of this steelbook? Nice pictures BTW huggy, especially that pic of the embossed title in hyper gloss finish

 

[paddytom]

I would really love a UK release of this film.. Please someone do a UK exclusive!!

 

[mehbeh]

not sure exactly why i passed this up

 

[lolwut]

I wish more steels had a glossy finish like this.
