27.99...Yeah I'll wait for artwork, and then AmazonUK.

neoz · 10-25-2013, 03:57 PM

haha oh know I'm not stoking the flames in that fire.

Yep, since it isn't a Zavvi exclusive then it'll be around in the UK. We'll have to watch the price on it cause it'll probably drop.

Mavrick · 10-28-2013, 03:58 AM

Perfect

Hopefully it's got some nice art

Ill_Be_Back · 10-28-2013, 12:18 PM

I haven't seen this yet, definitely going to buy the steelbook but not for that price.

Very nice! Interesting design!
I have not seen the movie, but can't wait...is that an actual scene from the movie? Is the small pirate boat hidden behind the J-card, which is why the water cannons are spraying?

I don´t recall that particular shot, but it probably is:

.

Great secuence with awesome use of the editing.

If this ends up to be the cover, it would be a very nice one.

I like the artwork a lot. Probably a pre-order by me as well!

Is this movie worth a blind-buy? I like Tom Hanks but the 12 rating worries me...

Great film. One of the best I have seen this year. I would say though you need to like Tom Hanks as an actor.

Visionist · 11-18-2013, 09:00 PM

It's not too tame then? What with the rating?

Don't buy assuming its Rambo fights the Somali pirates

These days its more swearing and sex & nudity which push a film up to a 15 rating, so not relevant here.

This is what the BBFC say

Quote:

CAPTAIN PHILLIPS is a drama based on the true story of the hijacking of a US cargo ship by Somali pirates in 2009. It is rated 12A for moderate violence and threat.

When the pirates take over the ship, crew members are threatened with guns and with other forms of physical force. There is further threat when the ship's captain is isolated and taken away by the pirates in a lifeboat vessel. Although these scenes are intense and give a powerful impression of the fear felt by the crew, the sense of threat is not unduly sustained and is broken up by other action. Actual physical violence is brief and generally undetailed. There is sight of bloody injuries that have been sustained accidentally, such as when a man steps on broken glass, but these are not focussed upon. In one scene, blood is seen to splash onto a man's face when other men are shot, but there is no strong detail of the actual violence.

The film also includes mild bad language, including uses of 'hell', 'Jesus', 'shit', 'ass', '*******', 'goddamn', 'screwed up', 'piss' and 'bastards'.

There is also sight of people smoking, as well as chewing on the leaves of the khat plant.

Hmm to cancel my Amazon.uk order or not. I have the US BB one and I'm guessing the interior artwork is no different.

Plus I don't see this one selling out that fast.
