Quantum of Solace.
Great title.
Mr. Craig has taken up the 007 mantle made it his own, and in his second outing as the enduring secret agent, he acquits himself very, very well.
No need to discuss the film, as reviews are readily available. As far as the quality of this Fox Blu-ray release, to my eye it matches the 2k presentation that I saw at the Goldwyn in all respects.
No quibbles about quality from these quarters. QoS is a gorgeous Blu-ray.
Highly Recommended.

Just Fox and Sony; Fox handles distribution for all of MGM's titles now.

No adding QOS to my must have list. Might as well get it as I have allready planned on owning every single 007 title on Bluray.

I agree. One of the best transfers I have ever seen. Audio was excellent too.

A fantastic follow up to Casino Royal with fantastic audio and video. I sure hope we get to see a 3rd Bond with DC, the guy makes a great Bond.

QoS really developed Bond as a character and who he is to become and didn't rely on all that you stated to make the film so great. Another great was to finally see them going back to the intro videos with the nude women, something that Casino Royal lacked, which was a big disappointment.

Exactly.
From everything I hear, the reboot that started with
Casino Royale was intended to move away from the increasingly ridiculous and repetitive "trying to take over the world" plots that made little sense after the end of the Cold War, and focus more on Bond himself.

Gotta love it. The DE is being prepped already!
MI6 News :: Director Marc Forster already working on second edition of `Quantum of Solace` DVD + Blu-Ray
Not that I'm remotely surprised or anything.
Respect and preserve the film-makers' intentions:
1. Original aspect ratio
2. Natural film grain
3. Original theatrical captions/subtitles

If this is the cost of a four-month turnaround from theater to disc--or issues like
Live Free or Die Hard's Blu-ray release--I'm not sure it's worth it anymore.
