I like the artwork. I'll get either the full slip or the double lenticular. Leaning towards the full slip edition. I already have the ultra rare Kimchi editon but it wasn't a 4K release so this will be nice to go alongside it.

Would be full slip or DL for me as well

 

[Rulocal]

I think I have decided on the SL. I think the Lenticular should have great depth and I like the clean look of the whole slip. I would usually go for the DL but think the front lenticular could end up not being at all great.

 

[Noodles]

My ideal version would be the art of the double lenti as the art for the steel,

DL front and back for the steel

Tbf that art has already been used on a steelbook IIRC

 

[Noodles]

I actually don't mind the steelbook anyway... it's growing on me a lot and I reckon it'll sway more people once in hand.

Really?

I think I’ve decided on the SL.
I like the white border and I like the back art. Image is clean so it should be a decent lenti

 

[Halo500]

Seeing how I do not own the coveted Kimchi release, I have no big expectations for this release and I'm overall looking forward to which of the slips will look best in-hand. Might just have to get the OC to determine the winner.

Really?

 

[Flloydo]

Oh right. I thought noodles meant the booklet art

Never seen that steel

same here

I'm really diggin' that Full Slip.

 

[TheWildEye]

I'll loving the DL.
Come on, we all know that this will look fantastic in hand. Yes, the steel is a little uninspired, but it's glossed and the title is debosssed and Manta slips are always solid, well pressed and presented gorgeously.
Bet it will look super tasty in the end.

 

[tono06]

Nope! I can’t do it! I’m really really trying to like it but I can’t!

 

[NateDog]

I like the FS, think the steelbook will look good in hand. Then again I haven't watched this yet so I don't think my opinion counts!

You need to get on that. Excellent film.

 

[steelmybeatingheart]

Which edition of the film is this?

do you mean does this have the theatrical release and/or the director's cut? no idea from the info above, but most releases of the film in recent times have had both available on the disc.

 

[Noodles]

I think I’ve decided on the SL.

Same, for those exact reasons. I think the white border makes it look quite classy, and that front image doesn't pop up very often, so it makes a nice change.

 

[Bungral]

Think I prefer DL and FS on this.

 

[BluSteel2012]

As we're nitpicking here, I really don't like that the title is white on the steelbook. It should have been red. It just doesn't sit right with me.....

Having mulled over it all day, I've ruled out the FS. It's just too boring. It's between the SL and DL. Probably leaning more towards the DL as it goes with the steelbook more than the SL does. Although that does having a matching white title like the steelbook.....!

 

[shigualito]

Looking for this one

i dont think the red color would go well with the green jacket of little leon ...but i had exactly the same thought, when i saw the steelbook the first time.
