Looks decent but the pics look dull and I am sure it is going to look even more dull because of matte finish.

New transfer = must buy for me.
Current transfer = I'll pass.

Now we're talking

Been holding off on getting this on Blu Ray for ages in the hope a Steelbook would come along

That title was always going to be crying out for embossing

 

[Snollygoster]

Would like this on the front

Spoiler

Actually, Now that I see it in Hi-Res it looks nice!

 

[tombarca]

Great News...

Would like this on the front

On a side note, This 3D Poster looks amazing too.

+1 the original poster is so much better.

 

[cooey]

Don't know if I like that or not. Would've loved to have seen the original poster artwork used

 

[Hooch]

the orignial DVD steelbook had a more uncut version which was more gruesome, lets hope that is included too.

I actually like the back on that one

Even if the bd case says otherwise, it´s uncut in the UK so you`ll have the 103 min version here also.

Artwork...yes, I think a like it. A big + is that ED 209 is on it, that´s one cool robot!

 

[blumike]

Love the front and back cover artworks, but the inner art could be changed. Anyway getting it day 1 for sure...

 

[axcraig]

They could have used this as inside or back artwork

 

[barrycameron]

no matter how it looks, the movie is bad a$$!!!

 

[DJ IXS]

Hopefully it's a new transfer of the uncut version

 

[Bobthesub]

One of my all time favourite films, Ive read the transfer isnt the best but it must be better than the dvd surely? I like that artwork, and it will be mine!

Any word on the pricing of these yet? will they be a similar price to the first wave?

 

[lolwut]

That design is boring, use the classic original poster! The police lights would make for an awesome effect.

Also, a remaster ala The Terminator is much needed!

 

[xxquartzxx]

if people like the film they will still buy it , don't matter what the art work is like

"I'd buy that for a Dollar"

 

[cooey]

The only way ill be buying this is if its a remastered disc otherwise I'm sticking with my UK trilogy

The only way ill be buying this is if its a remastered disc otherwise I'm sticking with my UK trilogy

I was actually just looking at the Blu-Ray transfers on all these , and Silence of the Lambs , seems to have gone well , back in 09..

this a Movie that I grew up on Lovin, so I have to get it regardless of Transfer quality

Silence of the Lambs is one of my favorite films of all time. But, despite it having been debated as having better PQ than previous DVD's, including the Criterion DVD (which I also own), the BD is still disappointing. But I will get this Steelbook, because I love the film, in the hopes of swapping out with a better disc, later.

Just FYI-The following is the art that Play had discussed while they were working on this wave (thank you Play!). As this is trade-wide now, all details are TBC and anything can still change.

Really like the back a/w, and the inside looks good as well - but the front is just "ok" imo.

 

[BluSteel2012]

I've never seen Robocop on BD. Is the transfer really as bad as people are making out?

I watched 'Taken' (the first movie) recently and thought the transfer on that was shocking for a BD. No better than DVD
