Lets begin with one side, the left. The first thing you seeis the artwork rom the battlefield. The colours they have used here are light and dark. You get the feeling that you are looking at a painting. The text that is written on the photo is "Pictorial Collection". Beneath the photo there is a sort of compartment that is holding art cards and a nice little book. First thing I have to mention, though this is not a limited edition it comes out really well made and so far I am impressed.

There is a little plastic envelope holding the 12 art cards and when you open it, the cards smells fresh and new. Kind of the same smell when you buy new furniture and you sits in them for the first time. Have to inform you guys, those of you that were expecting images of Angelina Jolie can be a little disappointed since most of the images are of Colin. Though he is the main character I see no harm in putting in some photos of the rest of the cast. But, I am a girl and I am not complaining.

Like rest of the packaging the art cards are also made of cardboard and feels very thick in your hand. The name "Alexander" is written on most of them in different colours and all of them have different images. The colouring they have used here is magnificent if I dare to say. Like I have stated before, you get the feeling that you are looking at a painting up at the wall or at a museum. There is also a photo that is like the cover of the box, just with a different background.

Some of the images have some poetic text printed on them, but this is an epic movie so that did not surprise me at all. There is only one image out of the twelve printed with Angelina Jolie, Val Kilmer, Colin Farrel and Anthony Hopkins.

Let's move on to the book, in this case the book replaces the regular booklet. The text written on the cover is " Highlight & Inside Story of The Alexander" so my first thought was that this was just like behind the scenes just in written form.

A production note. The book is also made out of cardboard and again, well made. The first page is of course in Korean and since I don't speak or read Korean it was easy for me just to flip over to another page. Again you get to see the colourful images and then you get all exited over this great edition you just bought. The text explains that you get to read more about the movie so I flipped excitedly over to next page wondering what I'm about to discover next. But of course, what I did expect but didn't want to admit, all the text in the book is in Korean. That was not my happiest moment going through this edition, but the DVD has some extra features that covers the same as the book.

Overall the book is well made and holding a lot of nice info and images from the movie. Here you can also get to see more images from the other actors and read about them. Each actor has their own page with photos. You also get to read about the director Oliver Stone and discover some facts about the making of this movie. If you know Korean that is.

Finally we have come to the DVD's. The DVD's are placed on the right and can be easily folded out. Disc one is the theatrical cut of the movie which is 175 minutes long. Disc two is, not surprisingly, the special features and extras. You get to see interviews with the cast, making of, trailers, tv spots and a lot more.

Overall this edition is really well made. I can't say it enough. I'm am really impressed over this edition and even though it is "just a " Collectors Edition it is a good addition to your collection and your shelves. If each "Collectors Edition" was made like this and with such a good price I would buy each and everyone of them. You can't really miss out on this edition. Now I have to watch the movie and see if it can follow up the packaging. The box doesn't feel cheap even though it didn't cost me much.
