The DVD cover is truly abysmal. River looks herenodus she has been photoshopped that much and it looks very much like a cheap tacky staright to DVD release which it was not.

I'm not thrilled about the cover either (River looks a little too evil) but I'm stoked this will be out in time for Christmas.  |

Wow, that doesn't even look like Summer Glau. I'm excited that there's commentary by Joss. I can't believe this is coming out next month! Three months after theatrical release...either Universal wants to cash in on the holiday spending craze or they've given up completely. Hopefully it's the former.

They said they want it to still be fresh in cinmeagoers minds as they have high hopes for the DVD's.

Oohh, can't wait! I've already forgotten about the Star Wars DVD release.
That cover, heheh, Summer Glau - she looks like she belongs on the cover of a DVD from a decidedly different genre. I'm not talking about Science Fiction.
Wow, I need to get to the theater again before the movie dissappears.

Like I said over here: www.whedon.info/article.php3?id_article=12274That cover has got to be the tackiest, fugliest piece of art I've seen. It looks like some Sci-fi channel made movie, and it doesn't represent the movie at all, nor will it appeal to a casual buyer looking for a fresh take on the genre. Click on the link to sign the petition to get that crappy thing changed! (and also, wtf is WITH the weird picture of like, a zillion people just standing about? Are they trying to make it look like Star Wars?) |

I think the cover is fine, aside from the weird Photoshopped River not even looking like herself. Looks like some nice extras, I cannot wait!

I think it looks alright. Deffo not what I was expecting. I think it will catch people's eye at the Video Rental Store, but will unfortunately just look like some Star Wars rip-off.

Exactly, Star Wars cheap ripoff, is THAT the image we want projected to potential new viewers?
No sir, it is not. LOL
Ah well, I guess I'll just tear it out, and put in my own Photoshop cover, God knows I can design better than whoever did that crapchute

I personally don' think so but if it as some of you guys say 'a cheap Star Wars-esque DVD cover' then the people designing it have hit the nail right on the head. AA you say it won't bring in the casual buyer but what sells better than Star Wars. It's probably the biggest movie franchise around!

I guess the cover is not that bad. It does, however, have an "adult movie" look about it though. Heh heh.

And how many Star Wars fan want a ripoff of their favourite movie series? Joss cracks me up, I'm pretty sure he had the same reaction a lot of us did when they showed it to him. |

But you don't have to be a huge fan to buy Star Wars. A lot of my friends aren't super huge fans but still buy the DVD's coz they liked it when it was released. In other words if it does look like a Star Wars DVD it will encourage more causal buyers to purchase it.
And after looking on the boards on imdb.com it's firaly obvious that some Star Wars fans felt this was just a rip off of their movies and wouldn't be willing to give it the time of day anyway.
