Watched this movie in a theater a couple of weeks after its release.
I don't know what to think about it.
The original BR is one of the greatest sci-fi movies of all time and Denis Villeneuve is one of the more interesting filmmakers around.
But this sequel left me a little bit meh.
Could be I was off my game that day, I don't know.
Will have to watch it again before deciding to purchase the UHD.

The 3D copies at Best Buy have slipcovers, which includes a sticker saying "Best Buy Exclusive". However I've heard it's still showing up at other retailers.

Since there seems to be some discussion of the prologues I thought I would throw this out there: According to what I'm seeing at Amazon for the BD+DVD+DHD, all 3 prologues look like they are included as special features. Can anyone confirm that? Are they on the blu-ray disc?
Thanks!

With hindsight, maybe that wasn't such a great idea after all...

3D version is available for shipping at Best Buy again. The 4K steelbook has been removed from their site, so it doesn't look like that one is coming back.

Oh wow...guess it's a good thing I actually made the effort to go to a BestBuy completely out of the way on this one. That sucker was the most limited supply I've seen for a BestBuy steelbook since the beginning of in-store pickup. Nuts, I tell ya.

I did buy it. But will I ever get to watch it again?
Don't know. It didn't grab me enough for me to want to.
But at sometime in the future? I could try it again.

It might have been a last minute change, which would explain why some online retailers had it listed and we never heard about it being an exclusive. But it's also strange that big retailers like Target and Amazon never had a listing. Either way, report back with what you get. It would be hilarious if it had a Best Buy exclusive sticker on it

It would be funny if the only thing that was exclusive is the slipcover
It also might have just been a last minute thing to make it exclusive to Best Buy. If certain retailers had already placed orders, maybe they at least filled those order requests, and then have it remain as a Best Buy exclusive after that. Or maybe it will end up being a timed exclusive. Since it's still on backorder at Deep Discount, I'll be curious to see if or when they get more stock.

The steelbook was most likely removed from the site due to all the cancelled orders and complaints they were getting hit with on their forum.
I got a message from one of the actual Best Buy reps that they had it preordered as well, and that even they had it cancelled. She said keep an eye in store as they might pop back up. (Like most of the others do after a few weeks)

There is finally a 3D listing on Amazon. Even though it's only third parties, it might be a better avenue than eBay since Best Buy removed the listing from their site. Lowest seller currently is Deep Discount for $32.90, which isn't bad since Best Buy has it in stores for $29.99.

The Best Buy exclusive is nice though it amazes me why people want to pay a fortune for this because of the artwork and packaging?

Those of us who have MANY disks typically optimize storage space by arranging them like books:
Others, who have more storage SPACE than disks, often store theirs like this:

I guess this one was pretty limited as its no longer available on the website. I probably should have bit on it, because its the only artwork I find even bearable, but I guess I'll have to settle for an uglier more affordable version. Or maybe I'll just wait for a 2-movie collector's edition 4K set with Blade Runner and 2049 in it, with the hopes that the artwork will be better.

Collector's mentality? I stopped caring about things like that, but fancy or unique packaging back in the DVD era certainly appealed to me then.

The fancy packaging seemed like more of a novelty for me back in the DVD days. I was lured by many a creative packaging back then as well. The only way I go for the fancy packaging now is if it's the only edition, the same price as the regular edition or has something exclusive I really want.
