Love the DVD artwork too.

Meh. I hate when a studio puts so much effort into an iconic image (i.e. the sideways Super 8 or terminal silhouettes for Up in the Air) and then ditch it, because they want to do something new. They are throwing away all of that emotional capital built up from the pre-release campaign.

I'm with the ones saying the DVD got it best now, why nit change the bluray cover? To give the best of both worlds they could have used the yellow for a slipcover then just use the new DVD artwork for the inner case.

Now it's a big f-you to Blu-Ray owners. I think I'll pick up the Dvd just so every time someone looks at my Blu-Ray collection their eyes don't immediately direct to the binding of "Super 8."

This cover is much more mintier.

I like the cover art and I love the movie. I can't wait to see it again.

"It would have been better if that yellow cover was a box with a flap you open to slide out the blu-ray case(which would have the movie poster for the cover) like you would open the film package."

^ This. If this art was on a digipak in the style of the venture bros. boxes or even the old 20th Century fox digipaks (similar to Fight Club) none of us would be complaining right now.

Super 8 was awesome. One of the best this year. I honestly don't like the cover art but the movie is definitely a must buy on the combo pack.

Don't really  like the cover, I didn't get the Kodak reference (and many others won't). The main problem is it doesn't look retro enough, just looks like a flashy yellow cover. They shoudl've used the poster.

Great movie though, halfway through it I started thinking it might actually be a Cloverfield prequel which they'd kept quiet on.

I heard nothing but awesome things about Super 8, definite blind buy. Though that art work is not the best.

I don't really mind the cover. I would of gone with the sideways poster, but at least we get to see the movie again, that's the main point about buying a DVD or Blu-ray! Anyways, Super 8 IS or IS ONE OF the best movies of the year! I've been waiting ssoo looong for this movie ever since the teaser trailer came out with Iron Man 2 last year. I've been waiting a whole year and month for this movie! It was my most anticipated movie of the year. No other teaser trailer made me want more than Super 8's trailer. And it delivered! Truely is a beautiful film. J.J. Abrams and Steven Spielberg are a dream team. The kids were amazing actors, especially Elle Fanning. Acting just runs in the family, I guess. I was a little disappointed that they didn't show the monster more often. Just a few blinks of it until they showed it's full form at the end. Still, the movie was definitely worth the wait and I will be getting this the first day on Blu-ray!

I can see what they were going for - an old Super 8 package slip, but it comes off as lazy and unappealing. I'd take it over a Photoshopped cover any day. Still, this film was very good. The coming-of-age story is the thing that stands out the most. The ending wasn't great, but the film is still one of my favorite's of the year.

I don't mind the cover.   I prefer this over a cover with floating heads or some really bad cover art jobs you see on releases many times over

Cover looks like something from a petrol (gas) station

So, I just don't get it. Whenever a cover is an obnoxious photoshop job, we're met with complaints that it isn't subtle. And then whenever a cover is subtle, we're met with complaints that it isn't and obnoxious photoshop job. In any case, I certainly prefer to original, sideways theatrical poster, but I still quite this one.

Whoever designed the cover must be the laziest SOB in the world. It's an 'ugly' cover for the interesting movie.

is this cover a joke?

A good movie.....although the part with the kids was better than the monster part.

Uhhhhhhhhhhm...
