The 13th film in the series, Octopussy, featuring Roger Moore in the role of Commander Bond, was the first, I believe, to be blown up to 70mm, featuring a six track magnetic stereo mix.
The 1983 film also falls short of what might be expected for this series, and the transfer shows a lack of respect for these cash cows.
The image is pretty, with nice color, but it hardly matters, as it has been digitally sharpened. I'm presuming the cinematographer Alan Hume, who also photographed A View to Kill for the series, had problems focusing, hence the digital aid.
Also mid-level Bond, it still would have been nice to see it with a quality image.
So far in new Bond releases, we're 3 for 3 on the negative side. Not good.
