The early films look insanely good on the latest Blu-ray releases, in particular DN, TB and OHMSS.
The later films IMO already looked quite clear based on the more modern production, so aren't as impressive. However, the models in MR look even better...
Im guessing 4K releases are practically prep'd and ready to go judging most of them been shown in theatres!
Then again it will prob take an eternity for EON to release them like the blu rays
If they are prepped and ready then I think Eon would have to release them within 2 years...wouldn't make any sense otherwise...
I assumed they restored / scanned and held onto the 1080P versions for years before finally releasing the blu rays
I wonder how long it actually took them to 'restore' the movies to bluray standard? The latter ones would be already done for them, but the early ones must have taken a few years...
Come to think of it, that is the German cover - I'm at work so pulled the image offline - I'll have to check when I get home. Really in the mood to watch it now, possibly because I really need a holiday and some Jamaican sun and Red Stripe beer would go down well right now!
Reading through " Some kind of hero" , I quickly had to rewatch TMWTGG as on reading the
Relevant chapter. I was informed of a mistake I'd never noticed before ! This may be common
Knowledge to many but new to me
I can't believe after hundreds of viewings I'd never noticed ....... When Bond lands his sea plane
The left wings " flotation " arm is missing ( as it had been damaged during filming ) . Meaning
The pilot had to be very, very skilled to land the thing at all . -{

You'll soon learn anything with me has to be bigger than the usual ) ) goes for ego and d*** as well
I own all of the Bond films several times.

I started taping them off the telly, then bought the vhs copies, then the wide-screen vhs.
Next came the DVDs, then dvd ultimate collection and now the Blu-ray collection as well
As having them copied to several memory cards in my phones and tablets. I also bought the
HD versions on Google Movies.
Each time my wife would ask " what's different with this set ?" ..... She doesn't know about me
Buying the digital downloads from Google.
Infact long before video, I used to tape them on to audio tape, to listen to them back at night.
Infact Higgins was doing that in the cinema )
"I've been informed that there ARE a couple of QAnon supporters who are fairly regular posters in AJB."
Early morning, outside a closed charity shop, a partially opened bag with VHS boxes of Bond movies literally spilling out onto the street. Goldfinger, AVTAK, LTK, all of them. People just walking by and looking down at them.
A home clearout?
Then again, maybe someone was upgrading to Steelbooks.

That is correct Sir, from the Blu-ray.

I think that you need to calibrate your tv - the colours are farr too extreme and contrast is too high. I have sent you a pm.

Early Bonds look on Bluray

@sniperUK: Do you know which movies have not been restored in 4K?
Dalton - the weak and weepy Bond!
Actually looks like all of them have been done , especially the fantastic Dalton ones

Didn't know that -{
I'd expect the 4K versions out within two years...

Ah...but you know I'm only ever at the grubby end of AJB
Dalton - the weak and weepy Bond!
Which is why I choose to stay at the grubby end
As far as I know the denish market receives he original version with denish subtitles.

From my No 1 OHMSS to my No 24 Skyfall here are all the Blu-ray covers of the US Blu-ray single disc releases in 2015.
There is something special in this, let's see who finds it first :007)

Here's the artwork with which I made the Blu-ray cover which I put over the UGLY original one
