That looks pretty nice! I wonder if it will have the same picture, but from the Predator's thermal view on the back?
Hopefully this is available on Amazon, or in other countries.

Thing is, seeing how all the blu's have been terrible conversions, can't imagine this will be much cop!

Oh, it's one of those lenticular thingamajings. Got the Titanic one and that's one of my favourite steels! Might have to get this one if the transfer is up to snuff...

I love that look except for the "3D" text. Might have to go for a group buy if it won't be sold by Amazon.

As it is a Fox MediaMarkt exclusive this will most likely have a printed back. So no thermal view on the back I think.

Also, the lenticular Steels were Germany exclusive in the past, weren't they?

Also, being German and rated 16, won't this be cut to ribbons?

Nope, the old rating was suspended in 2010. Since then the film is uncut with FSK 16

I'm not well versed on MM steelbooks, I only have Titanic. I thought all versions of that Titanic SB had the lenticular cover? I thought only the rear was different?
Well I guess we'll know for sure when more pictures are made availalbe.

French Titanic steel didn't have a Lenticular magnet at first. They just released a new line in France (Le Clerc stores I believe) that match the German art and include the lenticular magnets.

Canada and France put out Looper. France also put out Epic and Hobbit. Life of Pi was worldwide. Germany MM has put out the most lenticulars however

Wow, Fox Germany really knocked it with this MM exclusive release

No printed back, splendid back art, awesome art inside, perfect use of the lenticular effect...

Here are a few pics from ganja99 @BR-disc.de

I am so gonna get a few of those beauties on Friday

Would have wanted it, but the picture quality still sucks. I will not buy this until it gets a proper release.
