I like it all except for River. They make her look like a slut, evil, villain. But I actually really like it! I think it will catch people's eye.

I think it would be difficult to truly capture the movie in a cover art that appealed to non-fans. That's also probably why the advertisements for the movie left something to be desired.
However, that said, man do I look forward to this DVD! I'm a big Star Wars fan, too, but I look forward to getting this way more than the ROTS DVD that just came out. Serenity is so much more "real" science fiction for me.

For some reason I have a strange feeling that all the people down there are actually the fans, or the Browncoats... all of the fans that supported Firefly/Serenity through all the years. I dunno. It just seems like it. Even though... now that I look at it... they're buildings.
But I agree, dunt like the cover art. I'll probably make my own too, if only I can find out the pixel width and height of DVDs.

Not sure if anyone's interested but I found some fan-made covers for Serenity: www.whedon.info/article.php3?id_article=12640I think nearly all of them are better than what we're getting now. If only they had chosen something like one of those Is there any news on a UK Release Date yet? I'm desperate to see the movie again! I can't wait to have it.

Argh, you're so right, I saw these yesterday, and I'm frankly amazed that the actual cover DOESN'T look like any of these
It just makes me all the more incredulous, and gives me the urge to hold some kind of coup on the design team's offices.

The last one with the white cover of River and the crew under her is really... amazing. The back is just wow. That would be the perfect DVD to own! I love it, and all the characters are on it. But I must say, the cover we are getting looks really good.

I was kind of hoping for a straight black background and the red and orange logo found on the comics and figures on the cover. Ah well. Hopefully I find a custom one like that.

That last cover is really, really good. That's the german poster. It looks excellent. I like the cover we're getting here (assuming they don't change it). Plus we're also getting a 2nd disc of extras. Makes it worth the wait til February to get it. oz cover www.ezydvd.com.au/item.zml/783862

Maybe I should get this one instead?

I saw a couple commercials for this tonight. I was getting drunk after work at a bar, so there wasn't any audio, but by the looks of things, they're trying to market it as an action movie.
Ugh.

Here is the confirmed serenity cover for here- it's pretty much the same as the one i posted above, but i think the word 'serenity' is easier to read. www.serenitymovie.com.au/viewtopic.php?t=1968I think i'll get mine from ezydvd to get the 'free' tin. i'm a sucker for junk like that! www.ezydvd.com.au/item.zml/784707I also want the mousepad that one store is giving away. I may just be stupid enough to buy two copies to get the freebies

*screams*
Why do you guys get the coolest looking Dvd cover while we get the crummy one... I will buy the American DVD, but for sure buy a copy of the cover from Australia to replace, since I will not live with what we got.

You know what...
I think this is just another trap to buy the DVD now. And then in a month or so, they will release a 2-disc "special" edition. They did it for Sin City and they do it for alot of movies...
I'll wait before buying it now, and see what happends. Or, I'll buy it when it goes on sale, since I hate the cover.

You're probably right- they do seem to release a better version of a film a few months down the track. I'm sure North America will get a two disc version next year. But it is pretty sucky not to let fans know.
I don't get why they chose such a crud cover for the N america release- why not use the movie poster? That was quite good. Some git who has never seen the film probably picked it.
