I'm still shocked & awed by how big DN looks on such a teeny-tiny budget. And Blu Ray just makes it all look so much more incredible! Blu Ray also made FRWL look rather more spectcular than I ever remember (even in the theatre). GF is really good, but not the astounding difference I see in the first two, or YOLT.
I'm on the Netflix Blu-Ray program for $10/a month. Assuming I send back the DVD's the very next morning after I watch them, I could probably watch 7-10 films a month.
Goldeneye :
Looks pretty much the same as the dvd, perhaps a little better. Although as we're moving into
the more modern Bonds, perhaps the differences may become harder to notice. also
Goldeneye hasn't been cleaned up by Lowry Digital, Pity.
Tomorrow never Dies :
Looks much better than GE, great punchy colours and contrast, and good sound. In fact one of the
extras is an Isolated Music Track, so you can listen to David Arnolds brilliant score.
The World is not Enough :
Good picture quality, better than the dvd, with the usual deep colour and great sound. Very good
indeed.
Die another Day :
You might not rate the film very highly, but the Picture looks amazing, great detail, colours etc. Even
the sound sound great, plenty of Bass for explosions etc.
all discs have the usual extras, all well worth a watch.
"I've been informed that there ARE a couple of QAnon supporters who are fairly regular posters in AJB."
Wow...it was freaking amazing...It looks as if the movie had been released this summer! Sean Connery's face looks as fresh as Justin Bieber's. You get a better sense of the environment they're in, you can see details in the background I never knew were there.
Casino Royale :
Great Quality picture and sound, although the modern films don't look greatly
Different on DVDto bluray, but if you look closely you can see the superior
Quality of the bluray copy. All the usual extras and deleted scenes etc. I used
To get really excited about deleted scenes,until after watching them I had to agree
With the Director /editor for not including them, as they didn't add much to the
Story.
Today I'm watching all three Craig Bonds in a mini Bond marathon
"I've been informed that there ARE a couple of QAnon supporters who are fairly regular posters in AJB."
Noticeably better picture than the DVD, with punchy sound. It's light on
Special features and no commentaries ! Which is odd as in an interview
Marc Forester has said he did record one ? We might have to wait for a
special edition.
"I've been informed that there ARE a couple of QAnon supporters who are fairly regular posters in AJB."
Stunning picture quality, Great contrast and colour, with Punchy sound quality. It both
looks and sounds great. This has the usual commentaries and making of extras.
So that's all the Official Bluray collection.
I can say that the Bluray of NSNA, is pretty good but hasn't had the Lowery restoration
so some scenes don't look as good, special effects etc. Sill the comentary is interesting
if not overly informative. Although you can usually pick it up cheaply on Amazon.
Now roll on SPECTRE.
