Die Another Day (James Bond) [Blu-ray]

Have a nice time i find Die Another Day (James Bond) [Blu-ray] from amazon and I read about that ,I think that wonderfull.

BuZZ from Customer Shopping

For people curious about the BLURAY version
First off I had to do a firmware upgrade just to play the movie.
Two stars given because the movie is so good.
I would give it one for the bluray disc.
There isnt one scene minus the opening titles that stands out clearity.
I had high hopes for this bluray.
MGM usually has a fantastic bluray disc. Just look at "FROM HELL".
This IS NOT a crystal clear picture.
This looks as good as any other dvd copy.
There is black static throughout. You can notice it in the background. Its the actual copy of the film. This wasnt remastered for bluray.
I am a huge supporter of blu but when a movie comes out and its a waste of your money I will review, I.E. The Italian Job remake. HORRIBLE.
Like I said. No need to spend money on this double dip. It is not a crystal clear version.

Spy Thriller
A real treat for James Bond Fans. Pierce Brosnan portrays a very
believeable international santioned assain whose top secret mission
is sabatoged and he is stripped of his 00 status. The story line unfolds
with typical Flemming plot line; a must see film.

Earliest DVD Editions of this Film? Forget 'em.
I try and be as positive and optomistic as I can, so I start on to the good news, and then on to the bad.

THE GOOD: I loved the Christ/Resurrection sub-themes of "D.A.D." intensely. The title itself hints at this broadly. In the prisoner exchange, and for the next 15-odd minutes, Bond's "second life" is quite revealing: the long hair and beard; his tortured body, looking as if he'd been scourged--quite literally, too; the Christ-like dignity of Bond's bearing--heading for even greater sacrifices for the Free World's sins; resurrection/back to life, after a meditation-induced heart attack; and occasionally Pierce holding his body in cruciform poses.

And the spy-bosses acting in (false) judgement, just like Grand Rabbi/Priest Caiaphas and Procurator Pilate. Those would be "M", Falco, and old General Moon.

There are even (Anti-)Christ resurrections amongst the bad guys. Zao and young Moon possibly died, albeit temporarily and then their bodies gutted by DNA therapy, to come back (resurrect), in new identities.

And even a Judas, too, in Ms. Frost.

These sub-theme elements, and other sub-theme elements of increasing sophistication--most notably from Brosnan onwards--is precisely what injects new life into The Bond Franchise, just when I'd thought that the franchise, HAD "died another day"!!

THE BAD: I know it's not my DVD players, but the Comprehensive Audio Track for my particlar (early?) edition was poorly mastered. Dialogue drop-offs; Music Track obscuring dialogue and Sound FX Track at times; Music Track dropping off for Dialogue; Sound FX Track going quiet for the Music Track; and the great bark of Bond's new souped-up Walther sounding more like a 0.22 or pellet pistol! This reason alone, is why I only rate this Three Stars. The Sound Mastering on all the other 19 Bond Title DVD's is perfect, as far as I know. I trust that the Comprehensive Audio Track has been comprehensively Remastered for subsequent DVD and Blu-Ray Editions of "D.A.D.".
