I'm in for US #2. Simple and matches the case nicely!

I like Japan's version for some reason.

Re: Battle of the Blu-ray Cover Art - Aeon Flux

U.S. - Cover 2 and the Spain cover are the best. I like the smaller headline font in the U.S. - Cover 2 and the lack of a tagline under the cover in the Spain cover. But since the Spain cover has that lagline on the side, I'll go with U.S. - Cover 2.

The Japan cover makes me think of Event Horizon but with some weird building where the gravity drive should be.

I like the cover from Japan. I think it is the most appropriate one for this movie as well.

I picked US #2 as well. It makes me want to watch this. It's been sitting unwatched on my DVR for a couple of weeks (in HD).

Re: Battle of the Blu-ray Cover Art - Aeon Flux

It looks great in High Definition but this is easily one of the most throw-away action sci-fi flicks I've seen in the past few years. That's part of the reason why the Japanese cover appeals to me... since I dislike this film but almost want to see Aeon Flux as presented with the Cover Art from Japan!

They all look the same for me. Well, maybe US #1 is the worst.

I didn't vote.

I'm trying to do one from each letter of the alphabet in order. So, I covered #, A, so next is "B". I also, obviously, have to pick one that has some variation on the cover art and/or packaging. Stay tuned!

US#2 for me as well.

Japan's cover draws too much focus away from Charlize. The background is very distracting.

U.S. - Cover 2

Clean and simple. No unnecessary logos or blurbs. Just the star, movie title/logo and a nice simple picture. More movies should follow that template.

Were there 2 different releases in the US? Was anything else different besides the cover art? Different UPCs?

With the exception of the background on the Japanese cover, they're all four more or less the same.

The Japanese one might look cool if it was printed on holofoil or something.

I like U.S. #1. I guess I just like that silver border.

U.S. #2 is best. Just the same as Spain's except for the lack of writing.

I like the Japanese cover a lot, but the U.S. #2 is just cleaner and looks a tad better. It gets my vote.

I was thinking the same thing - the first two have been movies that were absolutely terrible IMO. I understand now that the logic of the choices has been explained though... hopefully the next few will be decent movies I voted US #2, I like the clean look of it.

US #2. I like it because it is so clean, no tagline or logo like the Spain one.
Paramount ruins theirs with the silver border. And the Japanese one, well....that one is just plain awful.
