Is everyone happy with this UHD Club Edition?  For some reason, I can't get past the box.  The watercolor style just isn't hitting me.  The tone of the box doesn't match the tone of the movie or the inside for me.   What am I missing?

 

I was hard on UHD Club for their Jaws edition, which I didn't think did the film proper justice.

 

But, I think they did something right with this E.T. release.

 

A rare example of alternate artwork that actually works in commemorating the legacy and magic of the film.

Well said.  That's why I asked here, to help me frame this release for what it is, and not my preconceptions of what I think it should be.  All good.

I can certainly respect the artistry and intention to create something original.  I personally love the design, even if it doesn't correlate with the style of the film itself.

 

The flimsy insert on the inside though... wow.  I opened up a Manta Lab release yesterday and the difference in quality of the packaging is night and day.  The foam is attached to the interior and snugly fit around the cases.  The insert for E.T. is like construction paper and is torn in the corners, there's a loose piece of foam underneath, and the case with the movie and extras doesn't fit securely inside the insert.  Are other UHD Club releases similar?

No, that's fine, mate.

 

Your opinion is just as valid as any here.

 

I can only speak for myself and what I like about it.

I've actually heard quite a few make similar complaints about the quality of the materials for that release, so you're not the only one.

 

Their Jaws release had a similar hard box design.

 

I'm sure UHD Club will take these things on board for their future releases going forward.

I love it.  I think the art is unique and captures the timeless quality of the film.

Also as mentioned by others the quality of the insert is really poor. This is my first UHD Club purchase and it’s kind of a mixed bag.

Personally I think the DP (hardboxed digipacks) are much better than both this and Jaws. Excluding the wood releases (WW + BRs) which are fantastic, DP are by far their best overall package.
