tremendous movie. Awful coverart

Seriously. But then what do we know? We're all just mindless consumers willing to gobble up whatever c**p Corporate America decides to throw our way. And they expect us to love it. I mean, how else can you explain the ceaseless parade of American Pie sequels?

I'll still buy it on Blu-ray, but my God, they should have used the DVD artwork!!

Apparently Paramount are revising the artwork, but it's not available yet.

I thought Fox did this?

Exactly what I do my friend, I've already made some for Ghostbusters and Gremlins, and a load more. In my view they are far superior to the official artwork and I will do the same for this release.

Minority Report was re-mastered last year, at 4K resolution using the original negative, under direct supervision of the Poland-born cinematographer Janusz Kaminsk. So this new bluray should look and sound stunning, also its nice to see some new special features plus the old ones ported over. Thats how it should be done all the time.

I will concede the bandage poster could be a little bit obscure for general consumer, and I understand the drive to sell the movie on its lead Cruise's star power, but that does not justify such a dreadful, poorly executed cover art, more so when they already had this available to fit their needs:



As other posters have stated, I will be buying this nonetheless, and the case will stay on the shelf, what's important here is audio/video presentation and extra features. But studios keep abusing us, the discriminating consumers, in order to sell their products to a more casual buyer.

I'm curious to see how this turns out on Blu-Ray. I seem to remember the original being grainy and sort of blown-out. It's been a long time since I've watched the DVD so maybe I'm just remembering it wrong. Regardless, I hope its a top notch transfer.

With Minority Report and Saving Private Ryan announced, I'm just waiting for the War of the Worlds Region R1 announcement.  

That doesn't even look like Cruise

MY EYES!!!!!!!!!

Yeah, it most certainly was. I was never crazy about it either, so this isn't too horrifying. Still, if they decided to revise this and put that theatrical poster on the box, that would be lovely.

They just had to change the poster art......!

Man, that cover sucks. Why can't they use the poster art? It seemed to be okay for the DVD release. Still, I will pick this up. Should look great on BD.

Wow, that cover art and font is a travesty

At the expense of sounding like a broken record and adding nothing new to the conversation . . . . . egad, that cover art is  pretty goshdarn awful.

BUT it's nice to see the abundance of special features (I love Laurent Bouzereau's work) for this great movie, one of Spielberg's more underrated gems.  WE NEED MORE SPIELBERG ON BLU-RAY!!!!!

worst. boxart. ever.

Artwork looks more like "Eagle Eye" artwork from the single disc DVD.

the cover is c**p but the movie is a masterpiece

This is one of the few individual movies I will re-buy on Blu.

It's an interesting concept for the cover, it was just poorly designed and executed.  The original DVD art was pretty cool.  I don't know why Paramount has been changing their covers for catalog titles.  

Cover art aside, I absolutely love this flick.  I know what I'm asking for for my birthday now.  

Looks like Channing Tatum, er, Tom Cruise is doing the dance move where you alternately throw up sideways peace signs over your eyes.

Paramount has been absolutely terrible lately with their cover art.

I don't normally care about such things, but that's a terrible cover.
