meh....I've been seeing this art used for ads, so it looks like it is the final one. Oh well, atleast the movie is superb!

OK, so I went to see this for the second time earlier tonight. It's really great, even improved by the slightest on the second viewing (already great first time around). I never liked Clooney much, but he is excellent in this, it's Clooney at his best, the vulnerability of his character could be felt so profoundly. And LMAO at Kendrick's crying scene, that was hilarious. Farmiga is also great in this.

I've heard nothing but great things about this movie. I will rent because of the great critical reception. The critics are usually 90% agree with my opinions, so they're a reliable source for me. On the other hand, my parents have TERRIBLE taste. My mother dragged me to see New Moon and I thought it was alright. Nothing to brag about, but my mom LOVED it (no joke). Then I showed my mother Donnie Darko and she said it sucked and that she loved New Moon. Since I thought it was just a coincidence, we saw House of the Devil and she said it was the worst movie she's seen. My dad and her made me see the Ministers (which was TERRIBLE), my parents said it was a thousand times better than HOTD. Go figure. Next thing you know, they'll probably hate CASINO and love EPIC MOVIE.

Wouldn't want that either. Why not just the poster art without those hideous blue borders on the top and bottom?

I created my own style of cover art.  It is based off of one of the original posters.
That's better...

I'm aware of that, but thanks anyway.

Nice to see some An Education love around here, it's also my favorite of last year. As for Up in the Air, after completed all 10 BP Nominees this year, it's definitely ranked in the top tier.

An Education is getting released March 30th, if you hadn't known by now.

I'll buy the blu-ray. I agree, why do studios not use the poster art, it's almost always better.

Yeah but that would cause the DVD/Blu-ray to be delayed another 2 weeks or so. Paramount probably has these all pressed, boxed and ready to be shipped out by now (around 2 weeks till it's release day). I'd rather have the DVD than complain about the artwork being better.

I didn't like a single film last year that had the word "up" in the title. Still, the wife loves this one, so it's a first day buy! I definitely have to add my voice to the chorus decrying the terrible artwork, though. Hopefully that's not the final design!

The poster was the reason I became interested in the film in the first place. This DVD artwork is incredibly generic.

That is some seriously horrible artwork for a fantastic movie.

Great film. Awful, awful artwork. Hope it's not final.

Paramount has a huge history of releasing artwork for promotional purposes and the final artwork is much different. I don't mind the artwork, but yeah to nitpick it I suppose it could be better. The shot of Clooney and the 2 female leads (Anna and Vera) would be a better choice. It's just that studios like upclose pictures of stars in the movie on covers.

The best film of 2009, well directed and acted and the script is amazing. Will buy this for sure.

I wish they would do that all the time, yeah it was a surprise but a very good one if you loved every second of "Up In The Air".

One of the best films of the year! I was not expecting it to be so wonderful. It is my #2 after AN EDUCATION. Will buy right away!

HORRIBLE artwork though. It looks like a bad fanmade one. I sure hope that changes.

One of my favorite films of the year, but theres just one problem. That artwork is so awful

One of the rare times I actually enjoyed a film, Proof if ever was needed that Juno was Cody's mis-doing, Reitman was just stuck in the suck of the quality.
I do hope they revise the artwork, Kendrick needs to be on the image, and the poster is rather wonderful, why not use that.

One of the better movies that came out last year. Cover art actually doesn't bother me at all.

this is such a good movie. it deserves a couple Oscars, but has such stiff competition that i don't think it will win any.
great movie though.
