Unfortunately yes - just a simple (and bad created) upscale with a bit better contrasts and slightly more homogeneous film grain (my opinion).

That's a real shame. I'm not too fussy when it comes to 4K but I won't buy when its been phoned in like that.

AVForums are currently having the debate of the century over Aliens, I don't think it looks too bad.

I am no Creator Era collecter, but this could be an interesting release - there's not really a lot of premium stuff yet.

 

Let's wait and have a look.

I have just the steels currently...

 

Very nice. I have the three in the front, I believe they were Zavvi exclusives? Haven't seen them side by side with the box set that came out a couple of years back, but it appears I made the right choice sticking with them.

The 4K versions of these movies are crap, are they not?

Alright guys I haven't been on the site for a while but I'm in. This looks fantastic, it's one of my top 5 movies ever and it feels wrong just having a standard steel sitting on the shelf.

I love the 35th anniversary collector's edition, but if these have poster artwork then I might be tempted to double dip.

I'll get it simply because it's one of my favourite movies, I don't own it and there's no 4K release in sight. But yeah terrible steelbook.

Just pre-ordered this. I already have steelbooks for the three movies but this CE looks really nice. 

Props to those of you who scoop up everything regardless of how many times you own it already 😅

No sign of Zavvi then. Hopefully stock won't be too limited and there's plenty on eBay.

Is this definitely going to Zavvi? BB have had a few steels recently that didn't make it over the Atlantic. 

Decided to cancel mine. Think I'll wait for the inevitable "Daniel Craig Saga" set.

Bit weird that a set for the first 4 was commissioned a while back, the price for the other steels are exuberant right now.

I'm really tempted to pick up some of these new steelbooks.

 

There's just so many Marvel movies and I'm still hoping there's a re-release in the future with the IMAX aspect ratios for some of the newer ones. Not sure if I should buy some now or wait. 

I managed to pick up the Amazon infinity saga set, but these Mondo ones are nice. I'll probably just pick up my favourites like Iron Man.

I'm more disappointed that this isn't a 4K release.

On another site there's a thread for a 4K release in Europe, should be coming to Amazon. I saw that a couple of weeks ago though, so this may be false if they are the same release.

Is this the same as the Best Buy set?

Casino Royale coming up then? My favourite Bond movie so that's a buy I reckon.

I only find it weird to censor the swastika. Whats gained from it? You should learn from history to avoid the same mistakes, not ignore it.

 

I really hope, HDzeta comes through. Because as good as the Manta Release was, it would be nice to have less blurry lentis,- the only weakness of the Manta release, imho.

This is probably because of German law, which forbids any media displaying the swastika. First I can remember of it was in Call of Duty: World at War. So it's likely out of laziness to release the same design for the entire continent. It irks me a bit as a UK buyer, but not enough to seek out the Best Buy version. I'm too lazy as well 😄

And it's gone. I went with #2.

Fantastic. I hope Zavvi gets this.

Nice, I have the 4K steelbook set on the way imported from the US. I'll pick this up as well so I don't feel dirty for owning 'and the Sorcerer's Stone'.

I also have absolutely no faith in the entire series being released here. If they're doing anniversary launches then physical media will be extinct by the time we get to Deathly Hallows.

Thank you lads, I appreciate it. I'm a recent steelbook enthusiast and the communities have been very friendly and informative so far!
