The Rock from Play.com. (same style as Armageddon)

Incredibly lazy and uninspired steelbook, cheap looking matte blurry images front and back, and blank inside.

I added custom inside art so it actually looks cool in there now, but still...

I was totally gonna sell it off too, but then I actually watched the movie and really enjoyed it, so I decided to keep it.

Yeah, great movie poor steelbook. I was going to get it but kind of glad I held off this and Armageddon...even though Armageddon is a badass movie as well.

That's why importing kinda sucks. You really don't know what you're gonna get til it gets here. Sure, you can search online for reviews, but depending on how old the release is, you could spend hours looking and not find much.

The only steel I own that I have second thoughts on is my german Zombieland. Cover image is cool, but the back is the typical BD back cover (a few pics, description, tech specs, etc...), and no inside art. I'd also regret my Silent Hill: Revelation 3D SB as it's a DVD sized (G1?) steel and sticks out like a sore thumb, if it wasn't one of the (if not only) BD release to have any substantive special features....

Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon (lovely movie, but strange floating head of Li Mu Bai spoils the front) and Requiem for a Dream (just plain ugly)
