It's the best PQ I've ever seen for the film, but don't expect perfection.

WTF? I decided to pick-up From Russia With Love today and I was promised movie cash towards Quantum of Solace but there is nothing inside.
October 21st continues to be a cluster fuck:
From Russia With Love (No movie cash inside)
The Incredible Hulk Fuck up
Little Big Planet Delay
Fable II DLC Fuck up.
At least I got Little Big Planet.

well, you know the feeling you get when you know the cashier is lying? And you can tell that they know you know they're lying? That's what happened to me when she said "nope, we never got it in." *shifty eyes*bune duggy said:

So you fellas weren't kidding about Sleeping Beauty. Looks amazing. But even more amazing was the sound. That DTS HD 7.1 track was unexpected. Woah.

If it helps, Sunshine looks OMGWTFBBQALLOVERMAPANTS, on Blu-ray.Dan said:
So, I watched Dr. No and was pretty happy.
Its obviously not Ironman or anything as far as PQ goes, but the audio is reference quality IMO. Very good.
The Picture is pretty good, lots of detail. Color pallete is a bit too red and the image is slightly soft, but thats the way movies were shot back then.
It is a very nice improvement over the DVD's. Great detail, great black level, great color reporduction. It looks very film like. No 3d pop of course, but this looks like I would imagine it looked in theaters.
The image is 16:9 though, was this the OAR or did they hack it up?

Ugg,
the bond movies used a few tricks I hate.
1) They shot Day for Night. Meaning their "nightime" shots were done during the day with a filter on the camera. Its convincing enough, except everything casts shadows like it was shot during the day.
2) The "in car" shots that were filmed in front of a projector.
I know these are movies from the 60's and thats how they rolled, but I hate some of the techniques they use to use.
After watching part of Thunderball I'm willing to give it a 4/5 for PQ and a 5/5 for audio.
and 5/5 for hot women.

The 3 Connery movies (Thunderball, From Russia with Love, Dr. No) are no brainers. Those are the 3 I am going to get (I got two, I need to find the steelbook for From Russia with Love.
Die another day should be avoided at all costs. Probably the worst Bond movie ever made.
The two Roger Moore movies are a matter of taste. I liked Live and Let die when I was a kid, but it has some weird Voodoo stuff in it. I didnt care for it when I rewatched it a few years back. It also has a really fake looking crocodile attack as well as a completely over the top death scene for the bad guy.
For Your eyes only is a pretty good movie.. One of the Stronger Moore movies, but the Moore movies are what really began the over the top Bond by numbers movies.
I would say 4 of them are worth owning, but 3 are no brainers for Bond fans. Live and Let Die is a maybe. Die another day = never ever watch this POS.

This is exactly the same trio I was ruminating over.Dan said:

My sticker was actually stuck to the slip cover, so when I peeled it off, the print on the other side had transferred over to the slip cover, which obviously looks like shit. Hard to make out the code too, since about half of it is backwards on the cover and the other half is still on the back of the sticker.
I also can't log into www.quantumofsolacemoviecash.com to activate my codes.
This is pretty jacked up. GG MGM

when existing stock on a movie is depleted they remove it from the sale (akin to "no rainchecks"). You can tell how starved people are for the firesales of last year when the original pretty mediocre list of movies flies off the shelf that fast. wow.StoOgE said:

Anyone have impression from the Maxtrix Collection?
StoOgE said:
Actually, no. These color palette issues cropped up in 2006 with the Lowry restorations, which are the versions you just bought on BD (and were released on DVD in 2006). They messed around with the color timing on pretty much all the films, much to the chagrin of many Bond fans. You have to take the good with the bad on these ones. The good being that the films are razor sharp and cleaner than they have ever looked, the bad being that the color timing is off in most of the films, and one or two of the films (Goldeneye and The Spy Who Loved Me, I believe, if memory serves) have framing issues (Lowry inexplicably did some image cropping). I have the 2003 SEs on DVD and the 2006 UEs (which again are the versions now out for BD) on DVD, and the long and the short of it is that the 2003 SEs have more accurate color timing, while the 2006 UEs have much better image quality, sound quality, and extras.

Dr. No, From Russia With Love, and Goldfinger all share the OAR of 1.66:1, if memory serves. Thunderball was the first to open up to the full 2.35:1.

I thought the point of this thread was to talk about HD movies and get people's own personal impressions? :lol
Thanks for the laugh though.
also for those interested, bestbuy.com has Halloween (2007) and Casino Royale both on sale for $22.99 and $25.99 respectively. Both are as good or better than amazon prices and good for in-store pickup. If you'd rather just go to the store bring a printout of the bestbuy.com page with you and they'll price match it no questions asked.
StoOgE said:
Im not really sure what the thinking process was at Lowry with respect to the Bond films. Theres a little puff piece about the restorations on the Dr. No disc I believe, but it doesnt really get into the nitty gritty of why they felt it necessary to screw around with the color timing or crop certain movies.

Well since it was the second time you asked and you still weren't getting responses, I'd say odds are good that either no one here got it yet or no one here has made it through the entire film series yet.LunaticPuma said:
