Beautiful steelbook, excellent interior design, very entertaining B+ film
Posted by BoyWonder03
Leterrier’s new film, "Now You See Me," is in some ways a return to his roots. Like his two "Transporter" movies, it’s light on seriousness and heavy on style — a razzle-dazzle fantasy about a team of bank-robbing illusionists. It’s slick, deliberately silly, and sprinkled with visual confetti — Steadicam spins, lens flares, CGI trick shots.. Just as unusually — at least for an effects-heavy production — it's shot on celluloid with anamorphic lenses. This gives the movie a retro visual texture and a more classical sense of widescreen space; the trade-off is that the digital effects look less convincing than they would in a digitally-shot movie. However, in a film where nothing is supposed to be credible, mediocre CGI seems appropriate. It’s not meant to seem realistic, so why should it look real?
This review is from Now You See Me [2 Discs] [Blu-ray/DVD] [Includes Digital Copy] [2013]

I, personally, really enjoy this series. All two movies. I wish they did better at the box office, so they could have at least made this a trilogy. I LOVE the cast as a whole, and the magic is fun. I would highly recommend anyone check out both movies. The steel book looks great, although finding one that wasn't dented was a challenge.
