Shame about both aspects of this steelbook. Didn't like the steelbook, and thought the film was ok, but nothing special. Steelbook could of done with the gloss treatment really

I agree, this would have been much nicer with a gloss finish, however this has not put me off and I take it for what it is and that's a good steelbook with great art and a decent enough Matt finish, I'm happy with it.

Received my first copy 3 days late and the box was open so anyone could just take it out, scratches all over it under the celephane. Requested a replacement which arrived boxed in bubble wrap but front steel cover was dented and warped. Amazon won't send me another replacement so I'll send both back and pick it up locally at HMV.

your lucky as i still ain't recieved mine yet, got e-mail confirmation on tuesday saying it had been dispatched, waiting till monday then will see about putting in a non-delivery query to amazon

received today despite a date of 14th/15th November for delivery-they decided to package it with my Guillermo DelToro book-spooky or what? no dents,no scratches, spine unslashed

Don't worry it will turn up. I had my dispatch email on Monday and only received it today in the post. Didn't get the bubble wrap that most seem to get either. Sent in a different type box too. Usually sent in their suspended steelbook boxes, this was sent in a standard cardboard mailer. Luckily it was in perfect condition.

Think Amazon have been a little shady over this release. I'm pretty sure this wasn't posted out when they said. I have received packages from Zavvi ordered on Tuesday and arrived Friday, so can't blame Royal Mail. Then the dodgy packaging on top of that, not to mention the price drops. I guess they did refund some then dropped it further even if there was only a few copies available it still happened

Hope this isn't a new trend from Amazon. Up until this release they have been top notch!

As for the steelbook, it's really nice. Don't really think a glossy finish would of added to this. It fits really nice with the Future Shop version. The only disappointment is with the 3D text on the front. Doesn't bother me too much with it being on the spine though! Overall really please with this steel and will display very nicely with its FS brother!

So I have one day let to get this or not. Still unsure on what to do. I mean I like it but...dunno. Do you guys think I will regret not getting it later? Ahh decisions...

Just got mine today. Strange how they are using bubble wrap now. Spine was slashed but luckily only the plastic wrap got touched.

 

[jeffster15]

I got mine yesterday, but no bubble wrap just the typical steelbook packaging, but it was mint. So I'm happy with it.

Mine was wrapped in layers of bubble wrap but that didn't prevent the dent it received before being sent, only noticed after unsealing it Anyway the movie was great and looked mind blowing in 3D, super clear pic, bright and amazingly colourful. Another demo disc!

 

[smcbeath]

Just finished watching it in 3d and I thought it was awesome in 3d. Only problem was, come 24 mins in my disc stopped, a nice circular scratch on the disc. Now I will have to hunt out a 3d disc replacement at some point.

Why would you? Just send it back or ask for a replacement - its a shame what we receive from time to time

Watched this in 3d last night. Really good movie with ridiculously awesome effects. A visual feast of detail and bright colours!

Agreed. I personally thought the 3D and picture was easily up there with the best.

In agreement about the greatness of audio and video pq, not with the movie itself...

Watch the special features. Listen to the depth of thought Guillermo del Toro put into this. Every single scene was scrutinized. It might not be thought of as Oscar winning material, but it is one of the most enjoyable movies I've ever seen, and certainly one of the best of the year. Massive scale. Awesome score. Amazing color palette and cinematography. Original material too. I don't think anyone else on earth could have done as good of a job with this as Guillermo did.

Can't wait for #2!

I thought the movie was pretty poor to be honest. GdT is usually pretty reliable but this was (for me) his first disappointing movie. Actually kinda sour I spent £20 on it...though the steelbook itself is lovely.

 

[ocielz]

Can someone confirm English 5.1 instead of 7.1? I dont want to open it if it doesn't come with 7.1........going to have to wait for my DE or CA versions

 

[Drew]

Other ppl from California already recieved theirs & I still have not received mine or The Great Catsby
