Day 1 I think. The HDZ set goes for a bit above my price range.

Shadowscythe85 · 06-18-2018, 01:44 PM

I guess this solves the "mystery" surrounding Manta's May update pic considering Ex_Machina was a Universal release internationally. Quite looking forward to this since missed out on both the FAC and HDZeta releases so will be more than happy to pick this up.

As good as this flik was, I don't think I need yet a 3rd Steelbook.

Although, I am missing the legs...

Would have much preferred Annihilation since I already have a great exclusive of this.

Annihilation has only come out on disc in US and Canada. Most countries won't get it.

Does that mean they won’t be able to make an exclusive for it? Don’t they get the rights and press their own discs? I hope we get one eventually.

Netflix has the international rights. It's streaming on Netflix in Hong Kong and many other places.

It looks like China is the only other place that released it theatrically, so maybe HDZeta will do something. I don't picture it as a Blufans release.

I agree. They are my favorite premium company right now.

I’d be in if for the Full Slip it was 4K.

No 4k is disappointing, but I'm in regardless.

movielib · 06-19-2018, 06:17 PM

While no single one of the Mantas is as nice as the FAC (in my opinion), altogether the Manta offering is quite spectacular.

But given what I've already spent on Ex Machina (the FAC and some others), I think I'll have to reluctantly pass on this.

dbhl3000 · 06-19-2018, 06:23 PM

Don't like artificial women. I will pass on this.

LizardSlayer · 06-19-2018, 06:32 PM

I'm not sure I see what's so great about the FAC one. Same old boring Steelbook everyone else has, single disc, mediocre slip art. The texture is cool, but that's the extent of it really. I'd take any of these three over that one any day.

Maybe I just like being different?

Well, I guess I just have to disagree that the FAC slip art is "mediocre." It's my favorite of all that I've seen.

Perhaps different tastes are why we don't just have one of everything.
