    UHD Review A Few Words About A few words about...™ - True Lies -- in 4k UHD

    For me, Cameron has cheapened the aesthetic to a cookie cutter Netflix production. Sure, it's his prerogative. I’m glad we can debate that and try and rationalise the scoring. Certainly, back in the day it was tent pole popcorn but I'd like to think it's been elevated somewhat since then. OK it...

    James Bond 007 soundtracks - Golden Gun, Spy, Moonraker, View To a Kill & Octopussy

    Did a search and was a little surprised they weren't the expanded scores?!

    A Few Words About A few words about...™ Diamonds are Forever -- in Blu-ray

    Saw the 4K last week as they are all being re-run in the UK. Following the diamond pipeline is quite well paced but you really have to work hard to find other things to enjoy... its quite a leap from Majesty's, only 2 years prior. The picture looked very good, but I do suspect some patches of...

    UHD James Bond films in Ultra HD blu Ray?

    Exactly. And those that are new to this thread...a few of us went over the 4K's last year, page 31 onwards https://www.hometheaterforum.com/community/threads/james-bond-films-in-ultra-hd-blu-ray.338122/page-31

    UHD James Bond films in Ultra HD blu Ray?

    Exactly. And all these releases have been superseded anyway with a very nice 4K (minus the fade!) that has spot on framing, minimal to no DNR or EE. The film looks great IMO, take the Aston v Ferrari scene...still pops as it did in the cinema in '95. How anyone can criticise it after the Kodak...

    Bizarrely it's now got a new error... the fade is missing as they kiss after the train explodes.

    Haha. he was already getting 16 mill...."it's not cricket" though :lol: He’s admitted some these questions are a bit silly. That’s a shame. Some amusing bits... incidents with guns, flying out of the holster into the dock and shooting himself in the foot with a blank :lol: Muffy...‘I don’t know...

    Who is a fan of James Bond soundtracks?

    I had heard this elsewhere. I would have brought TND 2cd in a heartbeat like the others. They are busy wrapping up the new film but quite how much they need to be involved I don't know...its more a matter for La La, Neil and David I would presume.

    my posts between 31-34 will tell you all you need to know ;) https://www.hometheaterforum.com/community/threads/james-bond-films-in-ultra-hd-blu-ray.338122/page-31#post-4716747 You will have a hard time knowing if you're watching the HD or 4k with a lot of these.

    UHD James Bond films in Ultra HD blu Ray?

    Do these Amazon ones have DTS-MA? I found the opposite with those titles on iTunes lol. TND had the magenta removed and looked how it should have plus a noticeable uptick in detail - the safe crack scene is a good one to check. The text on the phone much clearer. Daylights again had a colour...

    UHD James Bond films in Ultra HD blu Ray?

    I shan’t be buying them for the reason of supporting future releases. I couldn’t give two hoots about the packaging and spare slots but I do buy on value added material and improved transfers. I can understand some people factor in the packaging when they are buying physical though...

    I A/B'd them all with the blu-rays earlier this year, my comments are in this thread. I suspected then I was looking at upscales for some of the titles and this is further comments that reflect the same.

    UHD James Bond films in Ultra HD blu Ray?

    Who’s amped for the Craig collection!? I would say at face value it looks disappointing. They look a slight bump up from the 4K iTunes due to having DTS-MA and Dolby Vision (could they not have been DTS-X though?) but the overall content is a Blu-ray port. I noticed one packaging shot having...

    UHD James Bond films in Ultra HD blu Ray?

    Yep, it certainly shows how well they downscale to HD. For some reason I thought there were some IMAX shots in there, but as you say.

    UHD James Bond films in Ultra HD blu Ray?

    Looking at the remaining 4K streams - Casino Royale, Quantum, Skyfall and Spectre, for all intents and purposes there is minimal difference between them and the blu rays because the blu's are very, very good in the first place. So I guess this is to be expected and I would think it's easier...
