Emotional response? I think for the blind this one will give a good emotional response. J/K.

 

[StifflersDad]

It's an absolute TRAVESTY that Leeloo features NOWHERE on the steelbook itself. Who cares if it's glossy and embossed. So is a tin of Cadbury chocolate.

Why would I joke about a movie that is visually so colourful as the fifth element end up having such an uninspired and boring steelbook only partially redeemed by the cardboard "extra"

What has being visually colourful got to do with not having Leeloo on the cover? :-/

I love this release. I think it will be a fast sellout. Those slips are going to be quality. The steel already looks amazing with the gloss and color.

That is so hilarious . I've been laughing to this comment with tears in my eyes, please stop it man

You're quite the joker aren't you @blu-steel

As some one who has a blind family member, i'm deeply offended.

Love this film glad I never got the zavvi version now for me this best looking steelbook iv sin in some time can't wait to get me hands on it..

I've got the Zavvi edition and actually quite like it. I love the front artwork on it, but not the back artwork.
For this edition, I love the back artwork, but not the front....
I quite like the first full slip, but I don't love it. The lenti and second full slip is an easy pass imo.
I think I will remain on the fence about this release until Kimchi release info on what else this edition comes with. If they were to do decent artcards etc, I reckon I'll go for the first fullslip.

It is a shame though as I love Luc Besson and this has always been one of my all-time-fave films...

Since Leeloo will be on the slip and that's what will be displayed on the shelf what does it matter what's on the steelbook? The slips are what these particular steelbooks are about - they're the main attraction.

Get yourself some cardboard, paste a picture of Leeloo on it and display that on your shelf and you will have lots of cash left over for Christmas

I won't have to. I'm not whining about what is or isn't on the steelbook.

Hey if you want to spend $50 on some fancy cardboard wrapped around a substandard steelbook then that's your choice. Doesn't change the facts.

why so much hate? u seem so pissed off about this release lol for me, the slipcover of type 01 is what makes this a winner. i buy korean releases for the slips, not the steels as they are so premium compared to UK/USA slips.

 

[William]

why so much hate?

My thoughts exactly! Haha

 

[Hella]

FYI, the original release was UK-wide, not a Zavvi exclusive.

This steel makes me think it must be far cheaper to license/produce without any actor photos or key art. You see it every now and then with other steels where it's just scenery or uninspired designs, seems like the same sorta thing here. One single shot from the movie as interior art, zero actors featured.

 

[digitalbabe]

It's unique, and I like the color hues. Not a huge fan of flick though, so have to pass.

 

[urbeenjammin]

Bring on "The Messenger" Arguably Milla's finest work.

which = more profit as they dont have to pay the licenese's to use actors on the cover etc
